Embedded Electrical Engineer - Project Lead

Who We Are

Metrix is the preferred supplier of industrial condition monitoring systems to many of the world’s leading manufacturers and users of cooling towers, gas turbines, reciprocating compressors, and other rotating and reciprocating machinery. With headquarters in Houston, Texas, we operate in more than 40 countries via factory-direct sales and service professionals, along with a strategic network of instrumentation partners. We pioneered the concept of simple, affordable machinery protection with our seismic measurement technology. Initially focused on geophysical exploration, this technology also found abundant applications for vibration measurements on industrial machines and has been our focus for 50 years.
