Controls Engineer Intern
About The Position
The Controls Intern will work with the engineering team to design and implement process controls systems for a pilot-scale chemical synthesis process. This project will focus on providing automated controls of process parameters such as temperature, pressure and flow for various unit operations. It will require working closely with engineers and technicians to understand the current pilot-scale process, collect data and build a control system. This is a hands-on project based in a laboratory environment and will require both working with process sensing hardware as well as controls software.
