  • Installation: Overseeing the proper installation of sensors and meters in various parts of the DAC facility, including capture units, pipelines, and storage sites.
  • Maintenance: Implementing regular maintenance schedules to ensure the ongoing functionality of sensors and meters.
  • Control Systems: Designing and maintaining control systems that use sensor data for automated or manual control of DAC facility.
  • Data Acquisition: Developing systems for the acquisition, storage, and analysis of data from sensors and meters. Knowledge of Python or other programming languages is a plus here.
  • Compliance: Ensuring that the instrumentation meets relevant industry standards and regulatory requirements.
  • Develop and implement control strategies to optimize the performance and efficiency of the DAC process.
  • Work closely with our software teams to enable the collection of data for aggregation and generation of a carbon credit.
  • Monitor and analyze system performance, identifying areas for improvement and implementing enhancements to instrumentation and control systems.
  • Prepare technical documentation, including system designs, wiring diagrams, equipment lists, commissioning lists, and operation manuals.
  • Provide technical leadership and guidance to junior engineers and technicians.
  • Stay abreast of the latest advancements in electrical engineering, control systems, and direct air capture technologies.
An ideal candidate has:
  • In-depth knowledge of various sensors and meters used in industrial processes.
  • Familiarity with calibration procedures and standards.
  • Experience in designing and implementing control systems.
  • Understanding of data acquisition and analysis for process optimization.
  • Knowledge of safety standards and protocols in industrial settings.
  • Problem-solving skills for addressing issues related to sensor malfunctions or inaccuracies.
  • Collaboration skills for working with other engineering disciplines and project stakeholders.
  • Bachelor's degree in mechatronics, mechanical engineering, control systems engineering, or related fields. A Master’s degree or higher is preferred.
  • A minimum of 5 years of experience in electrical and instrumentation engineering, with a strong preference for experience in the chemical process industry, renewable energy, or environmental technology sectors.
  • Proficient in the design and operation of PLC-based control systems and virtual PLCs.
