Type: Full-Time
Seniority: Senior / Technical Contributor

Join Enexor BioEnergy

Enexor is a mission-driven climate tech startup outside Nashville, TN, turning organic and plastic waste into clean energy and high-purity CO₂. We build modular, field-deployable systems that redefine what's possible at the intersection of energy, emissions, and sustainability.

Why This Role Matters

We’re hiring a Senior Controls Engineer to lead the development and deployment of the control systems that drive our energy and carbon capture platforms. You’ll design PLC-based control architectures, integrate safety and sensor systems, and own real-world performance from wiring to field commissioning. Your work keeps our systems safe, smart, and mission-ready.

What You’ll Do

  • Architect and implement industrial control systems for modular power and gas systems
  • Program and debug PLCs and HMIs for process control
  • Integrate instrumentation (temp, pressure, flow, gas sensors) into cohesive control loops
  • Design and support panel builds, including schematics, wiring diagrams, and component selection
  • Collaborate with process, electrical, and mechanical teams for system-level integration
  • Develop test protocols, troubleshoot control logic, and support field deployment
  • Ensure compliance with relevant standards
  • Own documentation, safety interlocks, and startup/commissioning of field systems

Requirements

What We’re Looking For

  • B.S. or M.S. in Electrical, Controls, or Mechatronics Engineering
  • 5–10+ years of experience in industrial controls or automation systems
  • Strong PLC programming and industrial communication skills (CAN, Modbus, TCP/IP, etc.)
  • Experience in building HMI interfaces.
  • Proficiency in Structured Text.
  • Proficiency in control panel design and low-voltage power distribution
  • Hands-on experience commissioning controls in real-world systems
  • Familiarity with thermal, pressure, or gas-handling process environments

Bonus Points For:

  • Experience with containerized or field-deployable energy systems
  • Knowledge of SCADA systems or remote monitoring integration
  • Background in waste-to-energy, carbon capture, or emissions reduction tech
  • Knowledge of C++ or Python.
  • Knowledge of IoT technologies.
  • Knowledge of embedded system programming in C.
  • Knowledge of PCB design for embedded systems.

Benefits

Why You’ll Love It Here

  • Mission with urgency
  • Flat org, fast decisions
  • Equity upside in a growing climate tech startup
  • Hands-on, real-world product work

Compensation & Benefits

  • Competitive salary + equity opportunity
  • 401(k) and QSEHRA health stipend
  • Paid vacation and holidays
