Process Control Applications Engineer

   ExxonMobil Research and Engineering (EMRE) is searching for chemical
   engineering Ph.D. graduates in the area of advanced process control and
   optimization for permanent hire.  The target start date is mid-2010.

   Engineers in EMRE’s Advanced Control section contribute to the design,
   implementation, and sustainment of the advanced automation systems at
   ExxonMobil refineries and chemical plants that enable processes to run
   safely, cleanly, and more profitably.  Our engineers design innovative
   solutions to complex control problems, develop new tools to help control
   room operators and engineers better operate the manufacturing
   facilities, and implement these solutions in practice.  Our current
   interests are in scalable model-based estimation, control, and
   optimization technologies for increasingly autonomous manufacturing
   systems.  To stay current with new technologies, engineers in the
   Advanced Control section keep in contact with academic researchers to
   learn about their latest research developments.

   In addition to a research background in advanced process control,
   successful candidates will demonstrate solid technical capabilities,
   innovative thinking, strong initiative, good communication skills,
