NAME Dattaraj Jagdish Rao CURRENT JOB Senior Systems Engineer - GE Energy E-MAIL dattarajrao@yahoo.com

SUMMARY

• Senior Technologist with work experience at 3 GE divisions - GE Research, GE Rail and GE Energy.
• Held Software Leadership roles focused on Technology Growth, Reuse and Innovation.
• Experienced in Leading and Managing Global teams.

SPECIALITIES

• Systems Engineering and Architecture.
• Remote Monitoring and Diagnostics.
• Knowledge Based Engineering.

EXPERIENCE

• Senior Systems Engineer at GE Energy:
  Leading System Engineering initiatives for Oil & Gas, Power Generation, Transmission & Distribution. Exploring advanced Controls and Condition Monitoring technologies, with a focus on transforming Plant operations data into Asset Knowledge in order to enable informed decision-making.
  Part of the Smart Grid initiative, involved in Reliability studies of Electrical equipment like Transformers. Studying appropriate Monitoring and Prediction technologies to make the Grid more responsive to potential failures.

• Chief Architect at GE Energy:
  Maintained the System Vision and Technology Roadmap for the Gas Turbine Remote Monitoring and Diagnostics System with a focus on Architecture synergy and reuse. Initiated synergy programs directed towards developing a Common User Interface and Calculation Platform.
  Actively worked with Strategic and Product Marketing teams to define the 3-year Systems plan. Provided Technical direction to Software development teams through regular Design and Code Reviews.

• Lead Design Engineer at GE Energy:
  Involved in the development of Condition Monitoring Software and J2EE-based Enterprise Portal for remote Software deployments. The software processes real-time data collected from different sources like Turbine Controllers, Plant DCS, HMI/SCADA Systems, etc. The data is passed through a Deterministic model that compares the operation against a pre-defined baseline. Anomalies are flagged for deviations from baseline indicating signatures of failure thus alerting operators of potential failures.
  The Software runs on computers at Power Plants all over the world. An Enterprise System is used to manage the configuration and deployment of these different sites.

• Research Engineer at GE Global Research:
  Lead the development of Knowledge-Based Configurators that control CAD models (Unigraphics) of Locomotive components and modify geometry based on Design Rules. Was responsible for interviewing the Locomotive Design Engineers to understand their Design decisions, study past Designs and incorporate this Knowledge into the Geometry using a tool called Knowledge-Fusion.
  Worked as onsite coordinator at the GE Rail facility in Erie, PA leading a global team of 8 GE Engineers and 12 drafters.

EXPERTISE

• GE Process and Tools - Lean Six Sigma, DFSS Tools, GE Fanuc Proficy.
• Enterprise Systems - J2EE, Oracle, Weblogic, AquaLogic, IBM Maximo.
• Process Automation - DCS, HMI, Historians, Rule Engines, OPC Tools.
• Architecture Solutions - Services Oriented Architecture, ESB, CIM.
• Software Development - Java, C++, VB, VBA, .NET, ASP, TCL.

ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT

• Developed Java-based Software for Finite Element Analysis. This is available at:
  "The Finite Element Method Site"

  The Software has been appreciated by Professors and Industry Professionals around the World.
