• Ensure all code developed complies with ISA-88 batch standards, site automation standards, and GMP requirements
• Coordinate with process engineering and process cell owners to clarify requirements and confirm alignment throughout development
• Participate in internal design and code reviews to verify compliance with functional requirements, specifications, and standards
• Maintain code version control, revision history, and change documentation
• Support troubleshooting and debugging of DeltaV configuration during testing, commissioning, and startup
• Document configuration development activities in accordance with CSV and quality requirements
• Support Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) and Site Acceptance Testing (SAT) as the subject matter expert for developed code
Qualifications:
• Bachelor's degree in Chemical, Electrical, or Controls Engineering, or equivalent hands-on experience
• 5 years of hands-on DeltaV Batch DCS configuration/coding experience in pharmaceutical or regulated manufacturing
• Demonstrated ability to independently develop DCS code from FR and DS with minimal oversight
• Working knowledge of ISA-88 batch standards, GMP, and CSV documentation practices
• Strong attention to detail and documentation skills
• DeltaV 7009 and 7016 certifications
