Advanced Process Control Engineer

CruxOCM is the leading automation company in heavy industry, specifically targeting the energy sector. We are a venture capital-backed company dedicated to transforming this industry.

Control room operators require the most effective tools to perform their jobs safely and efficiently, while minimizing environmental impact and maximizing revenue. Considering that pilots have autopilot software, it's time for control room operators to have a comparable solution.

We are looking for an Advanced Process Control Engineer who will be a technical authority on control automation. You will be responsible for leading the development and integration of advanced control algorithms with Crux software, industrial systems and workflows.

The Advanced Process Control Engineer, reporting to the Advanced Process Control Engineer Lead, is a key role that blends leadership skills, personal skills, and technical expertise. You will join a team focused on delivering automation solutions to improve pipeline operations within control room environments. This role involves close collaboration with customer teams (Control operation, SCADA engineering) and internal teams (Deployment, Product, and Engineering) to ensure alignment on customer requirements and project delivery.

Advanced Control: Architect, implement, and tune advanced control strategies, such as Model Predictive Control (MPC), for pipeline systems

Discrete Logic: Design state machines for operational mode management, construct fail-safe conditions and safety checks, and protective interlocks

Control System Testing: Outline and execute test plans to validate controller performance and safety requirements, perform root cause analyses (RCAs), and troubleshoot errors or undesired behaviours in simulation-based and production environments

Algorithm Design: Create and help maintain tools for data analysis, system identification, empirical and physics-based model tuning

System Integration: Enable rapid integration and deployment of Crux products, by developing playbooks, standardizing processes and leveraging the latest engineering tools.

Quality Assurance: Ensure all deliverables meet the high safety and reliability standards required for heavy industry environments.
