Control and automation lead

Zen Carbon is seeking a Control & Automation Lead to architect, implement, and scale the automation backbone of our mineralization reactors. This role will transition our systems from partially manual operation to fully instrumented PLC-based control architectures, integrating process control, MRV, carbon accounting, and deployable digital MRV (dMRV) frameworks. You will own: PLC system architecture for next-generation mineralization reactors Real-time process monitoring and control Sensor and actuator integration Data acquisition and infrastructure design Reaction-state inference from sensor signals Failure detection and diagnostics Scalable dMRV-ready infrastructure What Success Looks Like (7 Months) Fully deployed PLC architecture for next-gen mineralization reactor Instrumentation framework with defined uncertainty budgets Automated carbon accounting pipeline dMRV-ready infrastructure Documented FMEA and diagnostics framework Scale-ready automation blueprint Requirements 2+ years i...
