Controls Engineer

We are seeking a Controls Engineer to design, implement, and optimize advanced control systems for dynamic energy, chemical, and process applications. The ideal candidate brings a strong background in PLC-based (or embedded) control systems development, with applications across chemical and/or gas processing industries, or industrial applications involving processing and power generation equipment. This role requires expertise in modeling, algorithm development, and real-time implementation to enhance efficiency, safety, and environmental performance of complex systems.

• Develop and implement control strategies for thermal, fluid, and chemical process systems including combustion, gas handling, compression, separation, and flaring reduction systems.
• Design, code, and validate control algorithms for real-time applications including process equipment, engines, or compressors.
• Model and simulate dynamic systems using MATLAB/Simulink or equivalent tools to support control design and optimization.
• Develop software in programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and electronic control units (ECUs) environments in compliance with safety requirements and using best practices.
• Conduct system testing, calibration, and troubleshooting in laboratory, pilot plant, or field environments.
• Collaborate with cross-disciplinary teams (mechanical, chemical, and electrical engineers) to ensure robust process and equipment integration.
• Prepare technical documentation, test reports, and validation procedures in line with industry standards.

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Controls, Electrical, Mechanical, or Chemical Engineering.
• 3+ years of experience in process automation, dynamic system modeling, or embedded controls.
• Experience with process control equipment, PLC/DCS systems, and industrial communication protocols (e.g., Modbus, CAN, OPC).
• Understanding of control theory, real-time systems, and embedded software development (e.g., MATLAB/Simulink, Structured Text, C/C++).
• Familiarity with process equipment and systems: compressors, pumps, reactors, or thermal/fluid processes.
• Knowledge of process safety standards and applicable regulations (e.g., IEC 61511/61508, API, OSHA guidelines).
• Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to work in multi-disciplinary teams.

• Contribute to innovative energy and process control solutions spanning clean fuels, chemicals, and oil & gas applications.
• Work at the intersection of control systems and process engineering, enabling safer, cleaner, and more efficient industrial operations.
• Collaborate with a highly skilled team and gain exposure to cutting-edge control strategies in both laboratory and field environments.
