About This Job

We are seeking an Instrumentation Engineer to design, develop, and maintain instrumentation and control systems. Responsibilities include creating wiring and instrumentation drawings, maintaining instrumentation lists, managing instrumentation selection, configuring data and control systems, and supporting instrumentation/controls commissioning and troubleshooting. Ideal candidates have experience with industrial controls such as PLCs and high performance and industrial data acquisition. Experience with low and medium voltage electrical system design and specification is a plus. Systems should be designed and constructed in compliance with industry standards for reliable system performance. This position requires hands-on work in a fast-paced environment with up to 20% travel to our test site in San Bernardino, CA.

Arbor’s team of world-class engineers and scientists are developing a scalable, low-cost approach to Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) based on modern rocket engine technology. BECCS is a carbon dioxide removal (CDR) approach that uses biomass to produce energy and remove CO₂ from the atmosphere and store it permanently underground, while ensuring food security, rural livelihoods, and biodiversity are not affected. Our modular technology leverages the power density of supercritical CO2 to enable compact gasification, oxy-combustion, and high-pressure turbo-expansion to convert abundant waste biomass into clean electricity, water, and high-purity CO2, capturing and sequestering all emissions from the process. Our team brings together a passion for science, technology, and global stewardship to make low-cost, high-quality carbon removal and baseload power a reality.
