If you have a passion for building robust systems, solving complex engineering challenges, working hands-on with the hardware, and are not afraid to fail, we’d love to hear from you.

Key Responsibilities

• Rapidly develop electronics for Direct Air Carbon Capture reactors and supporting infrastructure including high power electronics, control systems and actuators, programmable logic controllers, reactor instrumentation, and harnessing.
• Create and review electrical load lists, piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&ID) for various plant and facility designs.
• Design, specify, and oversee installation of medium and low-voltage power distribution systems.
• Perform load calculations, short circuit analysis, and arc flash studies.
• Maintain and troubleshoot switchgear, MCCs, transformers, and backup generators.
• Integrate sensors, actuators, drives, and controllers into automated processes.
• Support continuous improvement projects involving control system upgrades.
• Specify, calibrate, and maintain industrial instrumentation for temperature, pressure, flow, level, and other process variables.
• Integrate instrumentation with control systems for process monitoring and optimization.
• Ensure all electrical work complies with relevant codes (NEC, NFPA 70E, IEEE) and safety regulations.
• Conduct risk assessments and support plant-wide electrical safety programs.

Basic Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, avionics, hardware, robotics, physics or other related STEM discipline.
• 3+ years of relevant experience in industrial or manufacturing environments.
• Proficiency with AutoCAD Electrical, Altium, EPLAN, or similar tools for schematics.
• Excellent troubleshooting, analytical, and communication skills.

Preferred Skills and Experience

• Professional Engineer (PE) license or EIT certification.
• Collaborate with vendors, contractors, and internal teams to ensure successful project execution.
• Lead or support capital projects from concept to commissioning.
• Ability to work in a fast paced, autonomously driven, and demanding atmosphere.
• Ability to assess risk and make design and development decisions without all available data.
• Hands-on experience with electrical design, prototyping, integration, and testing.
• Self-motivated, strong multi-tasking, organizational, communication, and documentation skills.
• Experience working effectively across multi-disciplinary teams.
• Strong understanding of NFPA 70, NEC, and OSHA electrical safety standards.

Additional Requirements

• Willing to work extended hours and weekends as necessary.
• Some travel may be required.
