Job Description
About Charm
Our mission is to reverse climate change and return the atmosphere to 280 ppm CO₂, profitably. We convert waste biomass into carbon-rich bio-oil and inject it into permanent, underground storage as carbon removal, or reform the bio-oil to produce syngas for fossil-free steel.
Our carbon removal pathway took off in 2020 with initial purchases from customers like Stripe, Shopify & Microsoft. In 2021 and 2022 we delivered thousands of tons of carbon removal via off-the-shelf pathways, and also deployed our first R&D prototype pyrolyzer of our own. In the next 18 months, we'll build and deploy the next pyrolyzer revision, demonstrate our fossil-free ironmaking pilot, substantially expand our operations in Colorado and put thousands of tonnes of CO₂e underground.
We're looking to expand our team of ambitious creative and hands-on engineers, fabricators, operators, and forward-thinking humans. 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 reverse climate change. Gigatons or bust!
About the Role
As a Senior Controls Automation Engineer, you play a pivotal role in designing and implementing control systems vital to enabling thousands of pyrolyzers as we scale-up.
This role involves primarily designing control systems to support unique test platforms built by Charm’s development team. You’ll collaborate with test engineers, electrical engineers, and mechanical engineers to conceptualize GUIs, validate new automation software, and support existing ones with new software features!
This position will be hands-on with PLC/HMI hardware, but will also involve supporting forward-looking architectural decisions, such as our transition into a SCADA system, facilitating fleet management of our systems as we grow. You’ll work as part of the controls team to modularize our software architecture into reusable codeblocks, improving our future design efficiency. You’ll be a great fit for this role if you enjoy challenges, technical leadership, and embracing design decisions.
This role reports to the Pyrotronics Lead under the development team. Join us and play a critical part in hitting our goal of gigatons of carbon removal and prevention of catastrophic climate effects!
