Monitoring and control Systems Engineer

Job Description

Vast Networks is looking for a Monitor and Control Systems Engineer to establish a robust "out of band" monitoring system for its regional fiber network in California. The requirements are :

• Design, install, and program monitoring systems for each location. Protocols to be used include dry contacts, RS232, SNMP sessions, and other IP protocols. Software should be designed to generate different levels of alarms depending on the monitored devices. Sensors include dry contacts, voltage, current, fuel pressure, AC gas pressures, and IP status queries on network equipment.
• Design and install a separate "out of band" network running parallel to the fiber network, including cellular and satellite modems, which connect via IP to a Netops console server or similar device. This network will operate continuously in a "heartbeat mode".
• Design and implement remote control capabilities for the network, including remote circuit breakers (both DC and AC), switching between power supplies, and testing / measurement of standby generators, air conditioning systems, and security systems. The goal is to minimize site visits.
• The ideal candidate should be versed in both hardware and software aspects of this project, as it is meant to be a continuously evolving system.
