R&D Automation and Controls Specialist

Position Summary

Trilogy LLC is seeking a highly skilled and motivated R&D Automation and Controls Specialist to lead the development, field deployment, and technical support of our proprietary automated oilfield systems—including the auto-dumping system for the Sand Titan product line and other advanced flowback and sand separation technologies.

This role is a hybrid of hands-on R&D and field-based commissioning, focused on modern, flexible control platforms that integrate electrical, hydraulic, and sensor-based automation. The position is based in Minot, Watford City, or Dickinson, ND, and includes frequent travel to wellsites for equipment startup, testing, and on-call troubleshooting.

As Trilogy scales its fleet of automation-enabled equipment through state-supported innovation initiatives, this role offers a clear path to future leadership, including the opportunity to grow into a managerial role with direct reports.

Responsibilities

• Lead on-site installation, commissioning, and troubleshooting of Trilogy's automated control systems
• Collaborate with engineering and R&D teams to refine and validate automation logic and field performance
• Integrate and support hydraulic actuators, control valves, sensors, and instrumentation in real-world wellsite environments
• Configure and test controller hardware, I / O systems, and human-machine interfaces (HMIs)
• Troubleshoot and resolve issues related to control logic, electrical wiring, signal integrity, and system responsiveness
• Maintain accurate system documentation including wiring diagrams, I / O maps, and startup procedures
• Provide on-call technical support for deployed units and assist with long-term maintenance
• Support standardization and scaling of automation systems for broader deployment
• Help mentor and train additional team members as the automation group expands
