- Design and implement control algorithms to optimize plant operations
- Own and maintain controls-plant model software and conduct loop tests
- Integrate live factory data into models to detect equipment anomalies
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to gather requirements and deliver modeling solutions
- Apply knowledge of mechanical, thermal, chemical, and control systems to accurately simulate plant behavior
- Design high-level control strategies based on simulation and data analytics
Requirements
- M.S. 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
