About the job

SaltX is on a mission to erase industries’ dependency on fossil fuels, starting with the limestone and cement industries that stands for more than 8% of the world’s CO2 emissions. We innovate and industrialize electrification technologies aiming to make a shift in the gigaton scale to reach net-zero industrial emissions.

SaltX creates value by being a strategic partner to heavy-emission industries that are committed to decarbonize their operations. The industrial dependency on fossil-fuel in high temperature heating industries can finally become history thanks to our patented innovation- the Electric Arc Calciner (eAC). Our electric plasma technology replaces fossil-driven heating with renewable electricity and captures the CO2 emissions released during the heating process.

We are now looking for an Electrical & Automation Engineer who wants to join our dedicated, diverse team and drive sustainable change, taking our processes from pilot plant to commercial scale – driving the technology to full industrialization.

Your Role

As an Electrical & Automation Engineer at SaltX, you will play a key role in the development and industrialization of cutting-edge energy technologies. Working within a dedicated team of approximately ten engineers and reporting to Head of Engineering, you will be responsible for leading the electrical and automation functions in projects, ensuring solutions are delivered successfully. Your work will span all project phases, from pilot plant development to full-scale industrial applications, combining technical innovation with structured delivery processes.

Key Responsibilities:

• Oversee the design, programming, and optimization of automation systems.
• Contribute to the development of licensed products by creating standardized functions and architectures for industrial control systems (e.g., ABB 800xA).
• Act as the project’s central coordinator, managing communication and collaboration with customers, partners, and subcontractors.
• Ensure all technical requirements are met and the project is executed smoothly.
• Ensure compliance with Swedish and international standards.

Qualifications:

To thrive at SaltX we believe that it is important that our values correlate with yours. We also believe that you have the following qualifications:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Automation Engineering, or a related field.
• 5+ years of experience in process industries, focusing on industrial control systems.
• Proficiency with ABB 800xA and knowledge of Siemens PCS7 is a strong advantage.
• Solid understanding of high- and low-voltage systems and industrial standards.
• Experience working in projects and acting as a sub-project leader.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a focus on standardization and optimization.
• Excellent English communication skills, both written and verbal, are essential. Proficiency in Swedish is also an advantage.

Personal success factors

To succeed in this role, you need to be well-organized, flexible and capable of working in teams, while also being able to think and problem-solve independently. We support each other and work closely together in cross-functional teams, stepping in where needed. You have the ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, dynamic environment, balancing multiple priorities. Foremost you have a passion for sustainability and a genuine commitment to making a positive impact on the environment.

Top of Form

Every day we challenge ourselves and others to erase industries’ dependence on fossil fuels. We do this by being innovative, caring and collaborative. Research indicates that women and other under-represented groups in our industry often hesitate to apply for a position unless they meet the majority of the requirements outlined in the job description. If you share our passion for the green transition, but feel uncertain because your experience may not perfectly align with the qualifications specified in the job advertisement, we strongly encourage you to apply nonetheless. At SaltX, we are doing things that haven’t been done before and believe that fostering a diverse, inclusive, and collaborative team is crucial in advancing our mission to decarbonize the limestone and cement industries.
