About Us

Ardent Process Technologies (formerly Compact Membrane Systems, Inc) is on a mission to save the planet. We create technology to capture and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, avert global warming, and transform industry into a long-term sustainable enterprise. One membrane system at a time. We are expanding our team with ambitious, driven, creative problem solvers and doers who are excited about tackling a challenge and delivering a new product to market.

We are looking for an experienced Electrical and Controls Engineer to develop and commission electrical and control systems for modular carbon capture skids as well as membrane manufacturing and testing equipment. The ideal candidate will be a generalist with resourcefulness and a bias for action - someone who is comfortable reviewing electrical schematics for a large process plant and troubleshooting communication with a laboratory analyzer in the same afternoon. This is an in-person or hybrid role.

What You Will Be Doing

• Review electrical and controls deliverables produced by Ardent's engineering and manufacturing partners, and make design recommendations
• Develop single line diagrams and electrical schematics; select electrical components that meet design requirements
• Develop control, network and monitoring architectures and supporting documentation
• Conduct grounding, bonding and short circuit analysis, and incorporate appropriate provisions for equipment protection into designs
• Develop cable harness specifications for power and analog and digital signals
• Develop PLC-based control algorithms and associated HMI screens for chemical processes, including fully automated, semi-automated and manual control modes
• Develop software for input and output processing of analog and digital signals
• Develop specifications for and support the selection of controllers, I/O cards, historians, network cards and remote access equipment
• Develop communication protocols for interfacing with facilities and third-party systems
• Review process instrument and equipment selection, and support I/O list development
• Support bump tests and loop checks for equipment and instruments
• Test and tune control loops for lab, manufacturing and field systems
• Implement and test alarms and interlocks included in safety systems
• Travel to sites where systems are built and/or deployed to support FAT, commissioning and troubleshooting of electrical and control systems

What You Will Bring to the Table

• 5+ years of experience developing electrical and control systems for industrial processes
• Track record of delivering systems running in the field with high reliability
• Aptitude for problem solving, resourcefulness, and collaboration with cross-functional teams
• Strong understanding of electrical engineering and control systems theory and application
• Experience programming Siemens, Allen Bradley or similar PLC platform
• Experience drafting schematics in Solidworks Electrical or similar software

Bonus Points

• Prior experience in a startup environment
• Experience productizing modular skidded systems
• Experience with gas or liquid separation process technologies
• Experience designing electrical systems for hazardous locations
• Experience with model-based control systems
