The Principal Process Pulse Engineer role provides technical leadership for the Aspen Tech Process Pulse platform and related PAT systems across GSK Global Supply Chain and R&D sites.
You will own solution design, OT architecture alignment, implementation, validation and troubleshooting for Process Pulse deployments and ensure that technical outputs align with approved OT Reference Architectures, Quality & Tech Management controls/standards, product strategy and engineering standards.
Key responsibilities:
- Implement Process Pulse technical designs and configurations in line with approved OT architecture, segmentation and product strategy
- Own technical quality for Process Pulse across assigned sites, including key specifications, design documentation, configuration records and validation evidence
- Manage the lifecycle of PAT models across platforms such as Process Pulse and Unscrambler
- Own the technical integration and data quality between modelling tools, Process Pulse and execution/QC systems
- Design and configure Process Pulse data sources, PAT models, configurations and access controls to support closed-loop control and real-time monitoring
- Keep Process Pulse configurations, scripts and infrastructure-as-code under version control, with automated deployment and upgrade checks and peer review of material changes
- Lead the design and configuration of OPC-based and other OT integrations between Process Pulse, analyzers, control systems and historians
- Monitor system behavior, identify issues and lead troubleshooting and root-cause analysis across applications, integrations and OT networks
- Plan and execute technical installations, upgrades and patching for Process Pulse components while providing technical direction during releases and major incidents
- Work with cross-functional teams to design or configure Process Pulse interfaces, workflows, recipes and data models
- Coach site engineers, OT teams and super users in Process Pulse patterns and contribute to training materials, runbooks and knowledge articles
- Maintain and extend Process Pulse standards, reusable engineering assets and deployment patterns aligned with OT design and security guidance
- Capture engineering lessons learned from Process Pulse projects and incidents and convert them into reusable standards, patterns and training for other PAT and OT platforms
- Make practical use of AI-assisted development, agent-based workflows and prompt templates for engineering, testing, documentation and support
