Electrical & Instrumentation Engineer
About The Position
Kunin Technologies is revolutionizing the critical mineral supply chain by implementing advanced separation technologies to capture value from overlooked resources. This role is for an Electrical & Instrumentation Engineer who will own the electrical and instrumentation scope of a group 14 metal chlorination plant being designed, guaranteed, and commissioned overseas for an industrial partner. The plant will convert metal-bearing feeds into an electronic-grade metal product using Kunin's proprietary ion-exchange media. The engineer will be responsible for the electrical and instrumentation basis of design, including load lists, single-line diagrams, hazardous-area classification, earthing, power quality, instrument index, I/O list, and safety instrumented system requirements. They will specify and review contractor designs, and oversee the plant from energization through commissioning. This is a founding member role in Kunin's Capital Projects team, with expectations of executing multiple projects in parallel and potentially leading the E&I engineering team as the company grows. Key milestones include issuing the E&I basis of design and load list by May 21, 2027, completing skid E&I through factory acceptance and on-site by December 3, 2027, and completing energization and loop checks by December 31, 2027.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering required.
- 5+ years of electrical and instrumentation engineering on chemical, hydrometallurgical or specialty-gas capital projects, including at least one basic engineering (FEED) package delivered to an EPC contractor.
- Has designed power distribution and motor control for an operating plant and specified instruments and control systems that were installed and commissioned.
- Working knowledge of hazardous-area design and functional safety (IEC 60079, IEC 61511) and of corrosive-service instrument selection.
- Proficient in AutoCAD Electrical, EPLAN or equivalent, and comfortable reviewing 3D plant models for cable routing and instrument access.
- Ability to work in fast paced and demanding atmosphere
- Creative problem solving that brings together power, controls, safety systems and field execution to energize a first-of-a-kind plant on a fixed date.
- Must be a U.S. citizen.
Responsibilities
- Electrical basis of design: load list, single-line diagrams, hazardous-area classification, earthing, power quality and the electrical scope of the Class 3 estimate
- Instrument index, I/O list, control philosophy and safety instrumented system requirements with the process engineers, through HAZOP and SIL review
- Specification, bid evaluation and factory acceptance of skid-mounted motor control centers, variable frequency drives, control panels and field instruments
- Review of the contractor's detailed electrical and instrumentation drawings, cable schedules and installation against process intent and IEC and local codes
- Energization, loop checks, interlock and safety-system testing and commissioning support at the partner's site
- Electrical and instrumentation scope of the front-end studies for the next plants, run in parallel with delivery of the first
