Résumé du poste

Xcimer Energy is seeking a seasoned Control Systems Architect to define the plant control system architecture for a next‑gen inertial fusion energy facility. You will work with the control systems director, turning theory into architecture, interface specs, and design baselines while collaborating with laser, chamber, fuel processing, and power conversion teams.

You will also contribute hands‑on controls engineering within other major systems, perform trade studies, and help prepare design

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related STEM field; an advanced degree is a plus.
• Typically 10+ years of relevant experience in control systems engineering for large, multi-subsystem facilities such as power plants, process plants, accelerators, or large laser or research facilities.
• Experience with industrial control architectures: PLC/DCS, safety instrumented systems, SCADA/HMI, industrial networks, and plant historians.
• Experience developing control requirements, interface control documents, control narratives, and architecture descriptions through formal design reviews.
• Ability to work independently on complex problems and communicate architecture decisions clearly.

Responsabilités

• Define and maintain the plant control system architecture: safety, real-time, supervisory control layers, network segmentation, timing, triggering, and data capture.
• Develop control system requirements and interfaces between plant control system and major systems; manage through design reviews.
• Contribute hands-on controls and instrumentation design within other plant systems: I/O definitions, control sequences, interlocks.
• Evaluate and select control platforms, protocols, and standards; build prototypes or testbeds to retire risk.
• Support trade studies, analyses, design review materials, and staffing/schedule inputs for the control system scope.
