Electrical / Electronic and Controls Engineering Capabilities

• Frequency analysis utilising function generators and oscilloscopes to generate bode plots of filter circuits used within umbilical simulators for signal attenuation of topside and subsea modems within the test environment.
• Analysis of failed equipment within the manufacturing environment and running 8D investigations with clients, vendors and suppliers to perform full Root Cause Analysis (RCA) of the failure within the device, including, but not limited to cross sectional analysis of failed components such as transistors.
• TCP/IP and Modbus network infrastructure design, setup, maintenance and scalability utilised in the development of projects to create systems which can interface with existing Distributed Computing Systems (DCS) and plant technologies on site.
• Documentation and design upgrades to existing electronic and test systems to the latest ISO / API criteria.
• Investigation of test bay communications issues and Bit Error Rate (BER) communications failures during subsea module testing and creation of documentation detailing the issues and how they are to be addressed.
