## About the role

Be a barrel. Full autonomy. Own things end to end, take on scope without being asked, no permission required to operate outside your core role. Build something that actually matters. If you're going to spend your time, spend it on something that matters to the world.

## What they're looking for

- The below is a starting point. We always make space for exceptional people, so if you don't fit this role exactly, tell us where you would
- You’ve written control logic for rotating machinery and you were in the room the first time it ran
- You’ve designed interlocks where a fault means destroyed hardware or an injured person, and you can justify every one of them from first principles
- You’ve run hardware-in-the-loop testing that caught something real before it reached commissioning
- You’ve tuned loops on a live machine and worked out why the model and the plant disagreed
- You’ve handed a control system to people who did not write it, with documentation they could actually use at three in the morning
