Job Description
A Systems Design Engineer responsible for developing and implementing models of battery refining and manufacturing processes to optimize efficiency, detect equipment issues, and improve plant operations through cross-disciplinary collaboration and data integration.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop models for battery refining and materials production processes using first-principles modeling
- Design and implement control algorithms to optimize plant operations
- Integrate live factory data into models to detect equipment anomalies
- Own and maintain controls-plant model software and perform in-the-loop tests
- Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams to gather requirements and deliver solutions
- Apply knowledge of mechanical, thermal, chemical, and control systems to accurately model plant behavior
- Design high-level control strategies based on simulation and data analytics
Requirements
- A Master of Science (M.S.) degree in Mechanical, Chemical, Electrical Engineering, Physics, or equivalent experience.
- At least 2 years of experience in Systems Design Engineering and first-principles modeling, preferably with multi-physics simulations.
- Proficiency in Python and/or simulation software with functional software engineering skills.
- Strong grasp of mechanical, electrical, and thermodynamic fundamentals.
- Experience with complex system design.
- Ability to implement complex system models integrating mechanical, thermal, chemical, and control theories in custom software.
- Ability to design and implement control algorithms that optimize plant operations.
- Experience owning and maintaining controls-plant model software and conducting software-in-the-loop tests.
- Ability to navigate cross-functional engineering teams to gather requirements and deliver solutions.
- Experience integrating live factory data into models to detect equipment anomalies.
- Ability to optimize plant efficiency through modeling support.
- Knowledge of motors, pumps, sensors, actuators, and thermodynamic systems to accurately model plant behavior.
- Designing high-level control strategies informed by simulation and data analytics.
- Self-motivated, hands-on attitude with willingness to contribute at all levels.
- This is a full-time position based in Reno, NV, requiring onsite presence.
