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®](http://www.r2000.com/../products-and-services/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™](http://www.r2000.com/../products-and-services/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](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IE39JoVIaEw)

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 🙂

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)?
