Sr. Process Engineer (Pyro)

Position Overview

• Reactor design for heterogeneous reaction systems, including solid-liquid, gas-solid, and multicomponent solid-liquid
• Assist with process development and engineering design for processing projects, including formulating process flow diagrams and piping & instrumentation diagrams
• Assess materials of construction, including for corrosive and hazardous liquids, gasses, and solids and for high-temperature (>1000°C) systems
• Perform technical communications such as verbal presentations, Powerpoint slideshows, technical write-ups, and reports
• Evaluate and administer contracts with vendors for the provision of services and equipment

What you'll bring

• Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD degree in Chemical Engineering or equivalent
• 7+ years of engineering experience
• Deep understanding of chemical engineering fundamentals: heat transfer, mass transfer, fluid mechanics, chemical kinetics, thermodynamic analysis, mass and energy balance, unit operation design
• Experience with design and engineering of novel processes (pilot plant, demonstration plant, and commercial plant)
• Experience with high temperature reactions (>1000°C)
• Experience with equipment such as rotary kiln, fluidized bed, spray roaster, furnaces, or similar
• Relevant experience with experimental design, reaction engineering, equipment design, inorganic process chemistry, material handling and conveying
• Background in modeling and simulation of complex chemical processes and familiarity bridging process simulation with actual equipment, process, and plant design is a plus
