Responsibilities
As an Advanced Automation Engineer within our mixing team, you will work closely with the production and design teams to develop, configure, optimize, and troubleshoot production systems and equipment. You will provide technical and engineering expertise for the implementation of process control strategies within the DCS and PLC systems, evaluate and resolve problems with existing process control systems utilizing vendor and/or maintenance support, when necessary, develop and configure changes to the existing process control system based on priority and need, and support day-to-day operations. This ensures that the process control system is effectively implemented to produce high purity battery materials, maximize system throughput, and productivity for safe and environmentally sound operations.
Requirements
- Evidence of exceptional ability, including a strong understanding of engineering fundamentals and demonstrated ability to leverage this understanding to solve challenging technical problems.
- 5+ years as a continuous process controls engineer in a chemical process design, or production environment, with demonstrated experience in the execution.
- Experience participating in process hazard risk assessment reviews and HAZOPs.
- Ability to interpret P&IDs, Loop Sheets, and Cause & Effect matrices.
- Proficiency in optimizing, providing critical feedback, and defining controls methodologies towards process controls narratives defined between yourself and process designers.
- Demonstrated experience programming DCS advanced regulatory control using function block programming (Emerson DeltaV).
- Advanced proficiency with process loop tuning using proven methods.
- Demonstrated experience programming PLC (Beckhoff / Code Sys platform) in SFC, Structured Text, or OOP compliant with IEC 61131-3 standards.
- Demonstrated experience in configuring Human Machine Interfaces (HMI / GUI)
- Proficiency creating detailed electrical SLD, Loop Diagram, and Multi-Line schematics in CAD (EPLAN preferred)
