San Francisco, California, United States Charm Industrial Full time

About Charm Industrial

We are a pioneering company dedicated to reversing climate change by converting excess inedible biomass into carbon-rich bio-oil and injecting it into underground storage for permanent carbon removal. Our mission is to return the atmosphere to 280 ppm CO2.

Our carbon removal pathway has taken off, with initial purchases from customers like Stripe, Shopify & Microsoft. Since then, we've scaled to thousands of tons of carbon removal, over a hundred employees, and now have multiple locations. We're looking to expand our team of ambitious, creative, and hands-on forward-thinking individuals.

We value psychological safety and collaboration. We take calculated risks and don't sweep mistakes under the rug; instead, we pin them to the wall and learn from them. We value that everyone's unique backgrounds and perspectives shape their work. We encourage you to read our company values.

Come help us achieve our climate goals. Gigatons or bust.

About the Role

As a Senior Controls and Automation Engineer, you will play a pivotal role in designing and implementing automation vital to supporting thousands of pyrolyzers as we scale-up. You will be building automation that enables our novel electromechanical equipment to put more carbon underground as effectively as possible. If you love understanding new processes, building automation from the ground up to perfect those processes, and working alongside a cross-functional group of highly motivated engineers, this role is for you.

This position will be hands-on with hardware but will also involve software development under our GitHub codebase using common industrial automation languages. You will learn about our operations and R&D equipment alike in order to develop, implement, test, and support novel control systems. You will determine the way our operators interact with the equipment through HMI design, gathering feedback and pain points and turning those into design changes. You'll eagerly look at all manual processes of our operations team as opportunities for better automation systems, and work to implement those to enable our mission.

This role reports to the Pyrotronics Lead under the engineering team.

Your Responsibilities
  • As a senior engineer, you'll play a critical role in supporting our ability to manage fleets of pyrolyzers
  • Work closely with our development team to make software updates in support of new sensors and automation
  • You'll conceptualize, implement, and validate automation software solutions, which reduce operator burden and accelerate our ability to scale effectively
  • You'll own the design of intuitive Human-Machine Interfaces (HMIs) tailored for frontline operators
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to pinpoint critical processes that inform the optimal user interface
  • Your work will shape the foundation of our controls & data acquisition infrastructure
  • 12-25% travel to our office.
You Bring
  • 4+ years experience programming PLCs and HMIs in a similar industry
  • A strong understanding of protocols such as Modbus, E/IP, RS485 and OPC-UA
  • A history of designing & building HMI user interfaces
  • Practical experience using SCADA systems to bring-up industrial machines
  • Experience designing and deploying PLC software adhering to IEC Standard
  • Programming skills in Structured Text (ST), Function Block Diagram (FBD), Ladder Logic (LD) and Python
  • Strong leadership skills for taking on fast-paced projects, amongst changing requirements & priorities
  • Demonstrated experience incorporating safety elements in PLC design
Bonus if you Bring
  • Experience programming in Codesys
  • Experience with electrical design & schematics
  • Familiarity with Linux environment & SaaS tools
  • Prior experience with Ignition SCADA, especially within the Vision Module
