## Description

Systems engineering is a cross-functional engineering discipline centered on approach, mindset, and process. All activities that consider both the business and the technical needs of the customers with the goal of providing a quality product that meets the user's needs. The discipline that executes a robust process of design, creation, and optimization of systems, consists of identification and quantification of system requirements, creation of alternate system design concepts, performance of design trade studies, selection and implementation of the best designs and verification that the design is properly integrated and executed. Process that proceeds from concept to production to operation., * Network studies: Perform several network studies like Load flow, short circuit, UIF, MIIF and transient stability studies

 * Perform various studies like EMF / RFI studies, AC / DC harmonic performance studies as per the project specific requirements

 * Equipment engineering: Own HVDC equipment works packages and deliver various deliverables during the life cycle of equipment design conception through site commissioning

 * Perform various scheme design studies in line with the customer requirements and propose reliable system configurations

 * Coordinate the engineering tasks to meet the project/tender requirement.

 * Technical responsibility in areas of expertise

 * Identify and evaluate EHS risks in the team area and implement practical measures.
