NoPo Nanotechnologies is one of the few deep tech companies globally that lead the research and development in the nano tubes space. The company manufactures and sells high-quality single walled carbon nano tubes using proprietary methods known as HiPCO®. These nano tubes are extremely small and strong, with a range of useful properties.

Such as semi-conductivity, low density, and high conductivity. They have been used in a variety of applications, including Li-ion batteries, space, defense, and electronics. NoPo is currently scaling up production to meet the customer demands.

The production environment involves high-temperature reactors, precision thermal control, gas handling systems, industrial automation, and safety-critical process operations requiring reliable instrumentation and control architectures.

NoPo Nanotechnologies is seeking a highly skilled Senior Electronics and Instrumentation Engineer to join our team and take ownership of integrating all of our electronics so that they work together seamlessly across the HiPCO reactor and other sub-systems.The ideal candidate will design a range of instruments and electronics, integrate them into a cohesive whole, and continually refine the overall setup for reliability and performance. Hands-on experience with SCADA systems is essential— Hands-on experience with SCADA systems is essential, particularly ABB Ability™ System 800xA distributed control systems (DCS), including system configuration, integration, troubleshooting, commissioning, and plant-wide control implementation. —alongside the design of fail-safe control that monitors temperature, pressure, and various sensors and controls heaters.

Experience with SCR, TRIAC, and Thyristor-based power control circuits for industrial heating applications is essential.

Experience designing industrial heaters (2 kW and above), including Nikrothal-based heating elements, thermal management, and power sizing, is highly desirable. The candidate should be proficient in Python programming and able to work with or guide a team in programming. We are looking for someone with solid hands-on experience and a demonstrated willingness to learn new things and put them into practice, while holding an uncompromising standard for quality.

The successful candidate will work in a fast-paced startup environment, contribute to life-critical systems, and play a key role in system testing, documentation, and continuous improvement
