Are you a Senior Automation Engineer with 10+ years experience in System Integration generated Delta V design standards, module library design, phase and equipment module shells/templates, and batch/recipe conventions/approaches?This is contract role with the option to work from home.Delta V Automation Technical Lead - WFH - Biotech - IrelandJob ResponsibilitiesOur Client is one of Ireland's leading engineering consultancies and a global player in the Semiconductor, Pharma and Biotech sectors.This design includes bioprocessing upstream and downstream as well as associated support areas and utilities.
This facility will take advantage of single use systems to deliver a state-of-the-art facility incorporating new technologies to support the client's rapidly expanding monoclonal portfolio with a specific focus on operational flexibility, environmental sustainability and fast-track delivery concepts.The facility automation design will be fully automated with batch sequencing and recipes using a DeltaV distributed control system.
The project is currently starting Detailed Design phase and will be in that phase for the next 18 to 24 months.
This is a GMP facility, and all engineering activities below will be performed in a manner consistent with project computer system validation and documentation practices.The Automation Technical Lead (ATL) will represent the client overseeing the design of the DeltaV Application Software development.
The specifications, code, and testing are being executed by a System Integrator (SI), and this ATL role is to provide technical oversight of the SI, review and approve documents and DeltaV application software the SI produces, and in general represent the client's interests.
During the Detailed Design phase, The ATL will have primary oversight and review/approval responsibility for the System Integration generated DeltaV design standards, module library design, phase and equipment module shells/templates, and batch/recipe conventions/approaches.
This is a senior level role for the client side DeltaV team, and the ATL will work closely with the client DeltaV technical lead.
The ATL should have experience integrating DeltaV with Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES).The ATL is also responsible for establishing standard work practices with the SI, such as configuration management practices, source code review practices, testing practices, and will have responsibility for reviewing, evaluating, and impact assessments of process design changes.The ATL is also a technical coach and mentor to (3) client side Automation Area Leads (Upstream, Downstream, Utilities/Support).
These client side Area Lead Engineers have primary responsibility for the System Integration developed requirements and design specifications, application software, etc for their specific area.
The ATL will at times, need to review, advise, and assist on the work these Automation Area Leads are doing.Possess a deep understanding of the process engineering design for Biopharma processing and working closely with client Process Engineers and Operations Representatives.Possess a deep understanding of DeltaV control system design in the pharmaceutical industry.Technically Lead and oversee the work and work products that the System Integrator produces.
Including (but not limited to): technical standards, work processes, module templates, phase templates, procedural and recipe design conventions, DeltaV integration approaches to MES.Work collaboratively with the System Integrator Engineers and DevelopersWork collaboratively and technical coach/mentor the client Automation Area Leads.Lead/Participate in design reviews and DeltaV application software reviewsProactively work with the Computer System Validation Engineer to ensure deliverables and work practices comply with the project validation and documentation requirementsAbide by all safety requirements and procedures pertaining to their roleJob RequirementsBS Engineering (or equivalent experience)10 years working experience in Biopharma engineering, operations, or manufacturingPrior Process Engineering experience is strongly desiredPreferable, 10 years' experience in DeltaV batch automation design and distributed control system designPreferable, Instrumentation knowledgeDemonstrated technical leadership and teamwork abilitiesKnowledge of GMP'S, regulatory requirements, computer system validationInterface regularly and provide formal and informal project status updates to Project ManagementGood written and verbal communication skills for both technical and non-technical audiencesPackageContract rates of €70 - €90 per hour DOERemote based
