Job Description:

Job Title: Reliability Instrumentation System Engineer

Job Overview: As a Reliability Instrumentation System Engineer, you will be responsible for ensuring the robustness and reliability of instrumentation systems used in various applications. Your role will involve designing, testing, and maintaining instrumentation systems to meet stringent reliability and performance requirements.

Key Responsibilities:

1. System Design and Development:

• Designing instrumentation systems based on project requirements and specifications.
• Developing system architecture and selecting appropriate components.
• Integrating sensors, data acquisition modules, and signal conditioning circuits into cohesive systems.

1. Reliability Analysis:

• Conducting reliability analyses and assessments for instrumentation systems.
• Performing failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) to identify potential failure modes and mitigate risks.
• Implementing reliability improvement initiatives based on analysis results.

1. Testing and Validation:

• Planning and executing tests to validate the performance and reliability of instrumentation systems.
• Developing test procedures and protocols.
• Analyzing test data and making recommendations for design improvements.

1. Documentation and Reporting:

• Creating technical documentation, including specifications, test reports, and user manuals.
• Providing regular progress updates to project teams and stakeholders.
• Documenting design changes and updates for future reference.

1. Collaboration and Support:

• Collaborating with cross-functional teams, including engineers, scientists, and technicians.
• Providing technical support during system integration, troubleshooting, and field deployment.
• Participating in design reviews and technical meetings.

Qualifications:

Education: Bachelor’s degree in Instrumentation or Control System Instrumentation Engineering.

Experience:

Minimum: 7 years of experience specifically in maintenance. This suggests a strong understanding of how equipment operates, fails, and is repaired.

Industry: While not explicitly stated, the knowledge of SIL, HAZOP, and specific systems like PLC & DCS point towards experience in the oil and gas industry.

Technical Skills:

Safety:

SIL (Safety Integrity Level): Ability to understand and apply safety integrity levels for equipment in hazardous environments.

HAZOP (Hazard and Operability Study): Knowledge of HAZOP methodology for identifying and mitigating potential hazards in a process.

Control Systems:

PLC (Programmable Logic Controller): Understanding of programming and troubleshooting PLCs used for industrial automation.

DCS (Distributed Control System): Familiarity with DCS systems that monitor and control industrial processes.

Hazardous Area Classification: Knowledge of industry standards for classifying hazardous areas based on the risk of explosion.

Overall, this RIS Engineer role requires a blend of engineering knowledge, maintenance experience, and expertise in safety protocols and control systems specific to the oil and gas industry.
