Responsibilities
- Lead the complete design lifecycle of Ignition Perspective interfaces, from initial concept and wireframing to final deployment.
- Create intuitive and consistent layouts for system overviews, single-line diagrams, dashboards, alarm displays, trend visualizations, and reporting tools.
- Build and manage a standardized design system including UI components, color palettes, icons, and layout grids for all SCADA projects.
- Establish and uphold visual and interactive guidelines to ensure a unified product experience across all implementations.
- Optimize interface performance and layout for use on control room displays, field tablets, and mobile devices.
- Define how each screen functions, including data presentation, update mechanisms, user actions, and alarm handling.
- Design efficient navigation paths, screen structures, and interaction sequences that reduce operator effort during routine and emergency operations.
- Conduct usability evaluations and feedback sessions to uncover workflow inefficiencies or operator challenges.
- Refine screen designs using data from operator behavior, alarm logs, support issues, and on-site observations.
- Ensure compliance with human factors principles and industry standards for control room interface design.
- Act as the main contact for all HMI and SCADA interface requirements, collecting input from operators, site leads, project teams, and clients.
- Facilitate structured sessions for gathering requirements, reviewing designs, and walking through screen prototypes with internal and external stakeholders.
- Collaborate closely with controls engineers and development teams to ensure accurate implementation of screen specifications.
- Present interface designs, prototypes, and updates to clients and team members, incorporating feedback and managing change requests.
- Document screen details including layout, tag mappings, interaction logic, and acceptance conditions.
- Deliver training to operators and client teams on new interface features during system commissioning and handover phases.
- Manage and prioritize a backlog of interface enhancements, new views, and component updates across current and future projects.
- Balance client-specific needs with the creation of reusable, scalable screen templates that strengthen the overall platform.
- Coordinate with project managers to align screen delivery timelines with project milestones and commissioning schedules.
