NX Fuels Inc is a venture-backed climate tech start-up commercializing our proprietary artificial photosynthesis materials and systems developed at the University of Michigan for low-cost production of green H2 from water (or seawater). We can also produce green fuels from CO2 and water using only renewable solar. Our vision is to accelerate the transition to a Net-Zero economy by actively decarbonizing the incumbent processes using our solar fuel systems while supplying green products including green H2, methanol, syngas, methane, etc.
We are looking for a motivated, full-time Controls Engineer, who is dedicated to developing and commercializing our transformational green fuels and chemicals systems, to join our team. You will be responsible for leading software development and hardware integration within the team. As such, you will architect and maintain control software for the reactor and its associated solar tracking system, you will design and maintain hardware interfaces and mounts for control system actuators, and you will work with the team to collect and analyze test data both in the field and in the lab. You will be expected to communicate progress against project milestones, prioritize product and customer requirements/risks, provide continuing direction to the project technicians, and prepare progress reports and review meetings.
