Pure Biomass is seeking a talented engineer to help us design a submersible robotic system to aid in our process for large-scale algae cultivation. We are looking for a creative engineer who can design and program robotic systems and execute those designs by constructing prototypes and programming hardware. The work also requires designing a control system (such as a PLC with TCP/IP Modbus protocol) to allow for mesh networking and provide the user with an intuitive interface to control our photo-bioreactor system and the enclosed robotic harvest apparatus. Proof of concept has been attained, and we are moving towards a beta-prototype so we can enter the market.
