Description

• At Skyven Technologies, we have developed a revolutionary heat pump technology to decarbonize industrial heat and move the needle on climate change. • Our technologies have the potential to completely eliminate on-site CO2 emissions from industrial steam. • We implement this technology through an innovative Energy-as-a-Service model that provides clean process heat to industrial facilities. • We identify, fund, design, build, and install our cutting-edge, decarbonization technologies to help industrial manufacturers reach their sustainability goals, while minimizing their risk and reducing their operational expenses. • Industrial heat is responsible for roughly 20% of global CO2 emissions. • That’s roughly equivalent to emissions generated by all transportation and is a compelling business opportunity. • Skyven is at the forefront of this transformation and has recently been selected for a $145M investment from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to accelerate the deployment of our state-of-the-art Skyven Arcturus steam-generating heat pumps (SGHPs) at manufacturing facilities nationwide. • We are looking for a PLC Software Architect and Engineer to lead the design, creation, and deployment of scalable and reusable PLC software for our steam generating heat pump product line. • This is a true 0 to 1 software development opportunity where the individual will start with a controls narrative and PLC hardware architecture as their inputs and then create detailed sequence of operations. • This role is an individual contributor with the potential to grow and lead QA/QC of programming work in the future.
