Advanced Process Control Engineer

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.

Relationship Building: Develop deep, trust-based relationships with client-side operators and technical leads.

Internal Synergy: Align cross-functional teams to ensure a unified delivery approach.
