Senior Process Controls Engineer

Responsibilities

• Execute process controls and instrumentation designs for production-scale synthesis equipment by working collaboratively with other teams to design robust, modular, and well-documented controls.
• Implement control system strategies to execute processes, ensuring designs are incorporated in Piping & Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs) according to established standards.
• Create and maintain design documentation—including instrument indexes, I/O lists, alarm lists, cause and effect matrices, and SIL/IPL verification forms—participate in HAZOP reviews, source and select instrumentation, and contribute to project templates.
• Engage successfully with a range of different outside vendors for process controls designs and electrical / instrumentation subsystems.
• Participate in safety reviews following established safety guidelines to ensure safe design of the process, and own closing controls recommendations.
• Assist in bringing online hardware and code.
• Gather feedback from end-users of your work and collaborate to implement actionable modifications, sharing best practices with the team.

Requirements

• Proficiency in control system design principles, including PID control, cascade control, and advanced control techniques.
• Strong knowledge of instrumentation principles and devices (e.g., flow meters, level transmitters, temperature sensors) and industrial communication protocols (e.g., Profinet, Modbus).
• Experience with the full design lifecycle of process control systems, including creating Cause & Effect diagrams, Safety Requirements Specification (SRS), and Alarm Rationalization.
• Hands-on experience with PLCs and writing Structured Text and familiarity with other IEC 61131-3 languages.
• Experience designing and programming intuitive and user-friendly human-machine interfaces (HMIs) to enable real-time monitoring and control.
• Experience with ensuring regulatory compliance related to process controls standards, such as, NFPA, UL508A, and IEC 61151.5.
