Hydrix – Melbourne, Australia
A leading software & electronics design consultancy. Develops the innovative software and electronics embedded in some of the world’s finest mining, industrial, biomedical/scientific and business technology products. 80+ employees.
Senior Embedded Software Engineer, May 2013 – September 2015, May 2016 – April 2017 (3 years 4 months)
My last project in Hydrix was Siemens Radio Interface Unit (RIU) ver. 2.0 project. My responsibilities included analysing software requirements for a new version of the product based on Embedded Linux RTOS, design and implementation of the main Linux software components, unit and integration testing.
Before that I was working on a biomedical Mobile X-Ray System. I was responsible for design and development of the embedded part of the device. The project was developed according to IEC 62304 medical software standard.
Also, I played a key role in another project, which was an industrial sewage pump SCADA Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) for South East Water, one of the largest water and sewerage providers in Melbourne area. The SCADA PLC supports DNP3 communication protocol over TCP and runs SCADA programs created in Schneider ISaGRAF Workbench IDE. It operates as a remote SCADA DNP3 Outstation and communicates to a ClearSCADA DNP3 Master via M2M 3G GSM module. The device has a number of external Digital and Analog I/Os for measuring and controlling different external environmental parameters.
