Advanced Systems Engr

Honeywell Honeywell · Industrial · Pune City, Maharashtra, India

This role focuses on applying AI-driven operational optimization solutions for industrial customers (Chemical, Oil & Gas, etc.) using Honeywell's Experion DCS system. The engineer will act as a Subject Matter Expert, bridging process engineering and digital/analytical skills. Responsibilities include leading customer workshops to define problems, analyzing process data, validating AI model strategies and outcomes with Data Scientists, and assisting with deployment and testing of solutions. The role requires strong process engineering knowledge, experience with DCS systems, and the ability to translate between process operations and data science.

What you'd actually do

  1. Lead the workshops : Review the plant operation; Drive to define operational problems/ probable solutions with customers; Prepare reports.
  2. Define problems using data : Perform Data Analysis - history, Alarm & Events, P&ID, PFD, Graphics and define impacted parameters and corelated parameters. (eg. Instruments/ equipment’s contributing to a particular Alarm, Define critical operating parameters, define Alarm Rationalization)
  3. Define Equipment to Equipment to Instrument relation : Using P&ID and PFD, define process relationship, Its impact on upstream and Downstream
  4. Validate Strategy : Validate strategy defined by Data Scientist and align with before proceeding with AI Models.
  5. Validate AI Model outcome: Validate AI Model outcome based on historical data or process Simulation (DCS or OTS) data.
