We are looking for a Controls Engineer to design and build the automation infrastructure that runs our first scrap-to-rod production line.

Our control systems will be a hybrid between what we build from the ground up and automation skids packaged with our equipment. Over time, we will iterate on all automation in the plant, vendor systems included, to build our own approach to copper processing.

Design and architect the plant’s controls infrastructure, from the sensor level up to the data layer for process, equipment, and quality data

Develop controls logic for equipment across the line, from heavy shredding to molten metal, with code review, simulation, and structured testing before it reaches the floor

Build on our Siemens and Ignition stack, and help shape how we use it as the plant grows

Lead commissioning of in-house and vendor systems, from I/O checkout through loop tuning and production ramp-up

Design safety systems across the plant, from machine safety in copper liberation to process interlocks in molten metal operations

Write the controls standards that every line will run on, including our architecture, code structure, and documentation

Optimize our machine vision and AI controls systems and expand their capabilities with sensor fusion

Build internal tooling and automation that reduce manual work and speed up our troubleshooting and analysis

Specify and integrate sensors and instrumentation to provide real-time measurement of process conditions and product quality
