- Architect and implement industrial control systems for modular power and gas systems
- Program and debug PLCs and HMIs for process control
- Integrate instrumentation (temp, pressure, flow, gas sensors) into cohesive control loops
- Design and support panel builds, including schematics, wiring diagrams, and component selection
- Collaborate with process, electrical, and mechanical teams for system-level integration
- Develop test protocols, troubleshoot control logic, and support field deployment
- Ensure compliance with relevant standards
- Own documentation, safety interlocks, and startup/commissioning of field systems
Requirements

- Strong PLC programming and industrial communication skills (CAN, Modbus, TCP/IP, etc.)
- Experience in building HMI interfaces.
- Proficiency in Structured Text.
- Proficiency in control panel design and low-voltage power distribution
- Hands-on experience commissioning controls in real-world systems
- Familiarity with thermal, pressure, or gas-handling process environments
Bonus Points For:
- Experience with containerized or field-deployable energy systems
- Knowledge of SCADA systems or remote monitoring integration
- Background in waste-to-energy, carbon capture, or emissions reduction tech
- Knowledge of C++ or Python.
- Knowledge of IoT technologies.
- Knowledge of embedded system programming in C.
- Knowledge of PCB design for embedded systems.
