Applications Engineer - Control & Instrumentation Systems

Specific Role:

We're looking for a technically sharp, detail-oriented Applications Engineer to own EMIT Technologies' panel and controls applications as an individual contributor. In this role, you'll translate customer requirements into buildable panel configurations and the documentation that carries them to production, then see them through to a clean start-up in the field. You'll work directly with customer engineers and collaborate closely with Solutions Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Software Engineering, and Sales to deliver panels that are correctly configured, well documented, and ready to build. After an initial ramp alongside our Controls Engineering Manager, you'll also share weekend and off-hours customer call and activation coverage with our Technical Support team.

Key Accountabilities:

• Work directly with customer engineers to determine panel functional requirements and design panel configurations to match
• Participate in customer reviews of functional requirements for new panel applications, and verify requirements with the customer to secure approval before configuration work proceeds
• Support Sales and Solutions Engineering in identifying which EMIT products and configurations fit a customer's request, including whether it can be done and what parts are required
• Help customers plan how panel functionality will apply to their project
• Review IO sheets from Solutions Engineering for technical accuracy and completeness, and create IO sheets directly for requests that don't come through Solutions Engineering
• Create panel schematics and resulting bills of materials in SolidWorks (2D), and make electrical drawing changes as needed
• Create configuration files, test files, and wire files, plus cause and effect diagrams and sequence-of-operations documentation as required
• Partner with Mechanical Engineering to release completed panel documentation to production
• Coordinate with Mechanical Engineering on drawing updates and with Software Engineering on new features needed to complete a panel application
• Support engine control application scoping, identifying the kits and parts required for a given application
• Assist customers at unit commissioning with control changes to meet site-specific requirements, including occasional on-site support
• Set up hardware simulations to support field troubleshooting
• Share weekend and off-hours activation and customer call coverage with the Technical Support team once initial ramp is complete

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in electrical, controls, mechanical, or a related engineering field, or equivalent hands-on experience
• Solid understanding of control systems and control theory
• Working knowledge of gas compression principles, valves, and gas process flow
• Experience with electrical drafting; SolidWorks experience preferred
• Strong technical aptitude with the ability to retain and apply technical details
• Exceptional attention to detail with a focus on accuracy and complete documentation
• Clear communication skills and comfort working directly with customer engineers and cross-functional teams
• Strong work ethic and a self-motivated, solutions-oriented mindset
• Willingness to travel occasionally to customer sites and participate in a weekend/off-hours coverage rotation
• Primarily office-based role; site and manufacturing floor visits require standard PPE

We are an equal opportunity employer and welcome candidates from all backgrounds.
