Job Description:

Have you ever been in a position where you were an expert in all the automation technologies in the marketplace, but still believed that there was a better way to control things? Maybe you always wanted the opportunity to let your ideas flow into a new, ground-breaking product, or maybe remake an old product-line in a better, more modern way. This is the opportunity available right now at Hydro-Thermal.

POWER THE FUTURE OF BREWING

Brewing is a 10,000 year old tradition, but a re imagining of the process is long overdue. The Lighthouse project currently underway, at Hydro-Thermal Corporation, has taken aim at just that job. Rethinking however does not end at mechanical processes, but equally drives the need to push the electrical and controls systems into the future. The guided implementation of the EtherCAT and IO-Link based field bus system along with the management of our java based control program (in a PLC free environment) is critical to the commercialization of this revolutionary system.

This team is a collaborative, innovation team who is assembled to build something new and different. Something everybody has told us cannot be done. Funny thing, we are already half-way there, and we need your help to take us to the finish line and beyond. We need a thinker and collaborator who never says, “This is the way it has always been done”. Someone who will never be satisfied with, “It’s good enough!”. Someone with a healthy base of work experience in the status quo (listed in the qualifications), but one eye fixed on the bleeding edge of technology. If you think this sounds like an opportunity you cannot pass up, then take a look at why we think is it so special and tell us why we can’t pass you up!
