Thanks for posting! You mention what you require and what you desire but not what you offer? That might be a valuable addition to the post.

Who is R2?

Founded in 1989 and located in the Old Montreal, R2 has devoted its information technology know-how and industrial electrochemical expertise to develop and deploy unique solutions to the chlor-alkali industries. R2’s hardware and software platform awarded by more than a dozen patents is actually monitoring over 40,000 electrolysis equipments in 20 different countries.

What does R2 do?

R2 offers EMOS®, a product unique in its ability to characterize and evaluate the performance of single cells for an electrolyzer and provide early detection of potentially harmful events. R2 has also developed IMU™, a platform to process modeling and predictive diagnosis based on state-of-the-art data mining techniques.R2 offers a unique Analysis Service to deploy a preventive maintenance strategy in the electrolysis cell room.

I made a talk at JuliaCon about some of what we do at R2: JuliaCon 2019 | A Probabilistic Programming Language for Switching Kalman Filters - YouTube

I’ll add to Said’s job description that this work has a fairly positive societal impact. We’re reducing waste by catching problems before equipment is destroyed, and we’re improving the energy efficiency of a hugely energy-intensive process.

We’re a small company, so you can have a large impact on how things are done. I made them use Julia :slight_smile:

Does this offer include possibilities for remote work-from-home (for people like me who live in the neighboring US and can’t relocate anytime in the near future)?

That can be possible. Can we discuss that in private.
please send me direct email with resume and contact info.
thanks

Any citizenship requirements?
