Posted on Friday, September 15, 2023
Amogy is a technology startup on a mission to decarbonize transportation using ammonia as a renewable fuel. We are highly focused and ambitious. By joining our team, you will be creating the first page of ammonia-driven green mobility and its economy. Be part of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to transform the transportation industry for a sustainable future.
Job Description:
We are looking for a Senior Electrical Controls Engineer to develop and implement instrumentation and control solutions for chemical process equipment. In this role, you will work closely with cross-functional engineering teams to test and troubleshoot novel reactor and separation technologies for Amogy's next-generation power solutions.
- Create electrical designs and select controller hardware in accordance with P&IDs.
- Program PLCs or embedded systems to acquire sensor data (temperatures, pressures, liquid levels, flow rates, and gas concentrations, etc.) and control actuators (valves, blowers, pumps, and heaters, etc.).
- Write high-level state logic to automate lab experiments.
- Implement and tune algorithms for low-level process control.
- Develop user interfaces for controlling lab experiments, visualizing sensor data and logging test data.
- Support basic electrical assembly (soldering, crimping, etc.) as needed.
Minimum Qualifications:
- BS in Electrical and Computer Engineering or related degree with 10+ years of professional experience in developing electrical and control systems. Advanced degrees may be counted as experience.
- Prior experience in developing process control and data acquisition systems in a lab or industrial setting using off-the-shelf controllers (PC-based controllers, PLCs, etc.)
- Prior experience in developing electrical wiring diagrams for sensors (pressure transducers, RTD sensors, flow meters, liquid level switches, etc.), and actuators (air compressor, solenoid valves, proportional valves, mass flow controller, etc.).
- Prior experience in configuring and testing motors, air compressors, pumps, heaters, solenoid valves, proportional valves, mass flow controllers, gas analyzers, etc.
- Working experience in developing and simulating closed-loop control systems using feedforward & feedback controls and state machine using Simulink for model-based control design
- Prior experience in human machine interface (HMI) development
- Ability to work in a fast-paced environment with excellent written and verbal communication skills
The ideal candidate will have:
- Prior experience in developing electrical and control systems for petrochemical or pharmaceutical processes.
- Prior experience in building and testing CANBUS based control system using Engine ECUs, CANBUS based IO Modules, and CAN Analyzer.
- Proficiency in developing and simulating nonlinear and coupled control systems for chemical process using MATLAB, Simulink, Stateflow, and automatic codes generation using MATLAB Coder, Simulink Coder, and Embedded Coder.
- Deep understanding of classical and modern control theories such as linear control, nonlinear control, MIMO control, adaptive control, robust control, optimal control, and system identification, etc.
- Experience in commissioning high-voltage DC electrical equipment.
- Prior experience in configurating and programming controllers (Beckhoff PC-based controller, Bachmann M1 controller, Engine ECUs, etc.), the associated IO modules and communication protocols (EtherCAT, CAN2.0b, J1939, CANopen, etc.)
What We Offer:
- Competitive Medical, Dental & Vision Care
- FSA and HSA
- 401(k) with 5% company match
- Life insurance
- Unlimited (PTO)
- Ancillary Benefits
- Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
