Mantel is a seed stage startup supported by Breakthrough Energy, The Engine and New Climate Ventures. Born out of MIT, Mantel was founded by two MIT scientists and a Harvard MBA to develop the material solution to carbon capture. Our molten borates are designed to operate at the high temperatures found inside boilers, kilns, and furnaces – enabling highly efficient carbon capture that has not been possible until now. Carbon capture can be applied across industry to reduce emissions - and even achieve net-negative emissions. By solving for efficiency Mantel can reduce energy losses by more than 60% and cut costs in half, unlocking carbon capture’s role in reaching net-zero emissions globally.

Mantel is looking for an I&C engineer excited to join a promising carbon capture startup working on the development of molten salts as a novel CO2 sorbent material. The Senior I&C Engineer will be responsible for Mantel’s control system design and implementation including the design, commissioning, and operation of Mantel’s First Of A Kind demonstration system. The position will collaborate with EPCs, partner site engineers, and OEMs to complete P&ID development, equipment specifications, controls narratives, interlock matrices, control panel design, network design, software specification/programming, and data acquisition/management. The Senior I&C Engineer will also be responsible for all I&C commissioning and modifications during operating campaigns. Mantel is looking for a problem solver who can think outside the box and work well both independently and in a team environment.  Some occasional short-term travel (1-2 weeks at a time) to partner and customer sites is required.

Minimum Qualifications:

·       Experience with application, programming, deployment, and support of PLC/DCS systems

·       Experience in developing I&C documentation from scratch including controls narratives, cause & effect matrices, interlock matrices, and operating/troubleshooting procedures

·       Experience in applying industry standards, customer and partner requirements, and government regulation compliance

·       Hands-on experience in construction and commissioning industrial process equipment including loop checks, interlock testing, tuning, and troubleshooting

Desired Qualifications:

·       Experience with instrumentation for high-temperature/molten salt/metals/fluids

·       Experience with safety critical applications

·       Experience with or exposure to electrical system integration/scope definition

* Experience: Minimum 5 years of experience in industrial instrumentation and control

* Location: Remote or Hybrid (Cambridge, MA)

* Compensation & Benefits – we provide competitive and holistic compensation to all our full-time team members, including:

·       Highly competitive pay based on experience, option to include equity

·       90% subsidized medical and dental healthcare coverage
