Job description

Department : Software Engineering

Location : Calgary, Alberta, Canada

Reports to : Director, Software Engineering

About The Role

Eavor Technologies Inc. is seeking a highly skilled Senior Control Systems Engineer with extensive experience designing and tuning control systems for both individual components and large-scale, integrated systems.

In this role, you will architect the overall control system design and functional specification for a next‑generation drilling system, integrating proven technologies with proprietary Eavor innovations. The system will evolve from a minimum viable product with advisory functionality to model‑level control, driven by physics‑based simulations and informed by real‑time telemetry.

Your initial deliverable will be an integrated virtual control system model (SIL / HIL / digital twin) used to simulate, validate, and optimize operational procedures. You will collaborate closely with external partners, service providers, and consultants responsible for subsystem controls—ensuring that hierarchical procedures are properly triggered and executed across a wide range of simulated scenarios.

The ideal candidate brings strong technical expertise, a systems‑thinking mindset, and the ability to integrate complex control architectures into cohesive, scalable designs.

This hybrid role is based in Calgary, Alberta, with occasional travel as required by business needs.

We invite you to read more about Eavor at our website or LinkedIn.

What You Will Do

  • Define and maintain the overall control system architecture : establish hierarchy, redundancy, communications, and cybersecurity boundaries for integrated operations.
  • Lead development of the supervisory control layer : integrate vendor subsystems and manage constraints, coordination logic, and system interactions in alignment with defined Control Law.
  • Architect control logic and interlocks : design systems that guide operators naturally toward correct actions and safeguard against unintended behavior.
  • Oversee integration and implementation quality : manage partners and vendors to ensure compliance with standards, cybersecurity, and functional acceptance requirements.
  • Collaborate across internal and external teams : validate control behavior, interfaces, and hierarchical procedures through simulation, testing, and iterative refinement.
  • Support verification and deployment.

What You Will Need

Education & Eligibility

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s in Electrical, Mechatronics, Mechanical, Chemical, or Controls / Systems Engineering (or equivalent experience).
  • 10+ years in controls with significant systems architecture ownership; leadership of multi‑discipline projects preferred.
  • Eligible for APEGA registration; P.Eng. (or working toward) strongly preferred.
  • Eligible to work in Canada.
  • Hybrid role in Calgary, Alberta (target 3 days in office); occasional travel to vendor or site for FAT / SAT / commissioning; limited on‑call as needed.
  • Technical Expertise

  • Strong understanding of flow control, feedback systems, and integrated facility architecture, including redundancy, networking, and historian integration.
  • Working familiarity with industrial control and automation systems sufficient to lead multidisciplinary teams and interface effectively with vendors and integrators.
  • Experience with model‑based design and simulation (Simulink, Modelica, or equivalent) to validate system behavior and performance.
  • Knowledge of industrial communication standards (OPC UA, MQTT Sparkplug, Modbus) and data management systems.
  • Understanding of functional safety, cybersecurity, and control system reliability principles (IEC 61511 / 61508, ISA / IEC 62443).
  • Strong communication skills for cross‑disciplinary coordination, technical documentation, and stakeholder alignment.
  • Bonus Experience

  • Model predictive control (MPC) or advanced supervisory control strategies.
  • Digital twin platforms and physics‑based modeling for system validation.
  • Analytics‑driven or data‑informed control optimization approaches.
