Understanding of tele-protection schemes, communication protocols (DNP 3.0, IEC 61850, PTP) in protection and automation systems.
  • The candidate should demonstrate proven experience applying telecom-grade design principles to substation-grade systems.

  • Solution Consulting Mindset : Proven ability to analyze and diagnose complex operational challenges and develop innovative, practical solutions. Capable of engaging with utilities, integrators, and OEMs to design interoperable solutions that comply with industry standards and evolving best practices.
  • Customer-Centric Approach : Strong communication and presentation skills to build trust and deliver tailored value propositions aligned with customer goals.
