Our client, a prominent chemical manufacturing company, is seeking a highly skilled Process Control Engineer to join their innovative team in San Diego, California, US . This role is instrumental in designing, implementing, and optimizing control systems for chemical processes to ensure safety, efficiency, and product quality. The ideal candidate will possess a strong background in chemical engineering principles, advanced control theory, and practical experience with industrial automation systems. Responsibilities include developing and maintaining control strategies, troubleshooting control system issues, performing root cause analysis of process upsets, and recommending improvements to enhance process performance and reliability. You will work closely with plant engineers, operators, and other technical staff to achieve operational excellence. This position requires proficiency in simulation software, programming of PLCs and DCS, and a solid understanding of instrumentation and measurement technologies. The ability to analyze complex process data, develop control logic, and implement advanced control techniques such as Model Predictive Control (MPC) is highly desirable. This role offers significant opportunities for professional growth and exposure to cutting-edge process technologies in a dynamic industrial environment. We are looking for individuals who are analytical, results-oriented, and possess excellent problem-solving and communication skills. A Bachelor's or Master's degree in Chemical Engineering or a related field is required, along with significant experience in process control engineering. Experience with specific control platforms (e.g., Emerson DeltaV, Honeywell Experion) and programming languages (e.g., C++, Python) is a plus. The ability to work collaboratively in a team setting and independently manage projects is essential. This role involves a hybrid work arrangement, balancing on-site operational support with remote analysis and design work.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design, implement, and maintain process control strategies and systems.
• Develop and optimize control algorithms for chemical processes.
• Troubleshoot and resolve issues related to process control hardware and software.
• Perform root cause analysis of process deviations and implement corrective actions.
• Conduct feasibility studies and recommend improvements for process automation.
• Collaborate with operations and engineering teams to ensure process stability and efficiency.
• Develop and manage project scopes, timelines, and budgets for control system upgrades.
• Stay current with advancements in process control technology and industry best practices.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Chemical Engineering or a related field.
• 5+ years of experience in process control engineering in the chemical industry.
• Proficiency with Distributed Control Systems (DCS) and Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs).
• Strong understanding of control theory, instrumentation, and process dynamics.
• Experience with advanced control techniques (e.g., MPC).
• Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and troubleshooting skills.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
• Experience with simulation and modeling tools.

Our client is looking for an accomplished Process Control Engineer for a fully remote position, focusing on optimizing and automating complex manufacturing processes. This role is critical for enhancing operational efficiency, product quality, and safety across our advanced manufacturing facilities. The ideal candidate will possess a deep understanding of control systems, instrumentation, and automation technologies, with a proven ability to design, implement, and maintain sophisticated process control strategies. Responsibilities will include developing control system architectures, writing PLC/DCS code, configuring HMI/SCADA systems, and performing advanced process control (APC) modeling and tuning. You will work closely with R&D, engineering, and operations teams to translate process requirements into robust control solutions. This role demands strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to troubleshoot complex automation issues remotely. A Bachelor's or Master's degree in Chemical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related discipline is required, along with a minimum of 7 years of experience in industrial process control. Proficiency in major DCS/PLC platforms (e.g., Honeywell Experion, Siemens PCS7, Rockwell Studio 5000) and experience with simulation tools are essential. Knowledge of industry standards, cybersecurity for industrial control systems, and data analytics for process optimization would be highly advantageous. This is a unique opportunity for a skilled engineer to drive significant improvements in manufacturing operations from a remote setting, contributing to innovation and efficiency on a national scale.
