As a systems engineer in the remote systems team within the engineering department, I utilised a variety of design engineering skills. The broad technical base of DesEng enabled me to engage in various activities as I could quickly pick up new techniques. For instance, the computing modules helped me communicate with programmers and code my webapp solution. Embracing an HCDE approach enhanced my skills in requirement gathering, user interviews, and solution formulation.
One of my achievements involved advancing a scheduling and status project through requirements gathering, design, and iterative phases. This project now offers a real-time status overview in the RCC and facilitates operational planning. I also contributed to implementing hardware adjustments that better aligned with user requirements and resolved existing issues.
These initiatives align with the company's goal of transitioning offshore personnel onshore for safety and environmental reasons. By improving operators' tools and creating a comfortable workspace, we support this transition while aiming to increase operational reliability through meticulous planning.
Furthermore, I provided feedback on internal communications within the PMO, promoting consistent updates across the company. I also assisted in creating an internal tool relationship diagram to facilitate communication and understanding among departments. These contributions enhance overall cohesion within the organization.
