Found Energy has demonstrated its core hydrogen generation technologies at the kW-scale, including a system capable of powering a full-sized electric vehicle. We are now working to scale up the reactor system for both our minimum viable product (MVP) and commercial pilot demonstrations. The completion of the MVP and commercial pilots requires designing and testing numerous sub-processes and sub-systems at the targeted industrial scale, as well as at various intermediate scales along the way. As an Automation Controls Co-op, you will play a critical role in developing, implementing, and optimizing control systems for our pilot and commercial reactor projects. You'll work closely with hardware engineers and our R&D teams to create automation solutions that improve system reliability, efficiency, and safety. You will also contribute to designing circuits and control strategies for prototypes and production systems, ensuring seamless integration with hardware components.

  • Develop control systems software for hydrogen generation and reactor scale-up projects
  • Implement and test control algorithms for real-time system monitoring and response
  • Integrate control systems with hardware components (motors, sensors, actuators, etc.)
  • Collaborate with R&D teams to define software and electrical requirements and specifications for pilot projects
  • Perform data analysis to optimize system performance based on test results
  • Design user interfaces and control dashboards for system monitoring
  • Support development of communication protocols between subsystems
  • Participate in design reviews, ensuring software meets safety and reliability standards
  • Maintain and document code repositories and version control systems
  • Create detail electrical schematics and cable documentation
  • Passionate about climate tech and its potential to impact the world
  • Pursuing education in Software Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related fields
  • Familiarity with control system design, real-time systems, or embedded systems (coursework or project experience is acceptable)
  • Experience with programming languages such as Python, C/C++, or MATLAB
  • Familiarity with PID controllers, PLCs, or other industrial control systems
  • Experience working with sensors, actuators, and data acquisition systems
  • Experience with crimping tools, soldering iron, and low voltage circuits
  • Ability to work in a multidisciplinary environment, collaborating with hardware and chemical engineers
  • Excellent problem-solving, communication, and documentation skills
