Controls Engineer

Roadrunner Venture Studios is partnering with a cutting-edge startup revolutionizing working to build bigger, simpler. Perseus Materials builds the world’s fastest manufacturing system for large-scale composite parts without molds, tooling, or delays.

Requirements

• Aid in design and implement key control architectures for our large-scale manufacturing systems (controllers/PLCs, HMIs, I/O, communications).
• Develop control logic for motion, force/tension control, heating/curing, and other key operations.
• Select and integrate controllers, drives, sensors, and related hardware so the system is responsive, stable, and debuggable.
• Lead integration and calibration of sensors (temperature, pressure, flow, position, speed, etc.) and ensure signals are clean and usable.
• Build and iterate on test rigs and prototypes; tune and debug control schemes (PID, multi-loop, state machines).
• Commission new equipment: bring-up, I/O checkout, tuning, and optimization under real operating conditions.
• Set up data acquisition and simple tools (scripts, plots, dashboards) to visualize system behavior and support troubleshooting.
• Work closely with chemists, materials scientists, and mechanical engineers to connect machine behavior to material performance and customer needs.
