We are looking for an Advanced Process Control Engineer who will be a technical authority on control automation. You will be responsible for leading the development and integration of advanced control algorithms with Crux software, industrial systems and workflows.
The Advanced Process Control Engineer, reporting to the Advanced Process Control Engineer Lead, is a key role that blends leadership skills, personal skills, and technical expertise. You will join a team focused on delivering automation solutions to improve pipeline operations within control room environments. This role involves close collaboration with customer teams (Control operation, SCADA engineering) and internal teams (Deployment, Product, and Engineering) to ensure alignment on customer requirements and project delivery.
Job Responsibilities
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.
Advanced Control: Architect, implement, and tune advanced control strategies, such as Model Predictive Control (MPC), for pipeline systems
Requirements
Hold a Professional Engineer (P.Eng.) designation or be eligible to obtain licensure in Canada
Experience with control system design, controller tuning, execution of simulation-based testing, data processing and analysis, system integration
Familiarity with the process of system identification to develop empirical models of input-output relationships
Experience with writing specification documents, technical reports
Proficiency with Python and version control software (e.g. GitHub)
A reasonable understanding of hydraulic theory, fluid dynamics, numerical methods, optimization algorithms/dynamic programming
Experience with OPC communication protocols and/or SCADA systems
Experience with DNV Synergi Pipeline Simulator (SPS) or Atmos Simulation Suite for performing transient pipeline simulations
Bachelor’s degree in Chemical, Electrical, or Mechanical engineering or related field (post-graduate studies focusing on advanced control systems or MPC preferred)
