Process Engineer

Your mission

Join us in developing and operating our First-of-a-Kind (tFOAK) facility. As a Process Engineer for Separation Systems, you’ll design, test, and optimize key process units that define how efficiently our system captures CO₂.

You’ll work at the intersection of experimental development, process modeling, and system design, collaborating closely with internal simulation team and external partners. Expect a hands-on environment with fast feedback loops, where your work directly shapes the next generation of DAC plants.

• Design and optimize separation processes, focusing on gas–liquid behavior, flow dynamics, and water management using tools like AspenPlus and KGTower.
• Collaborate with internal and external simulation partners to define model requirements, validate CFD and process models with empirical data, and translate findings into practical engineering improvements.
• Design and operate experimental test systems to generate data, validate assumptions, and accelerate understanding of key separation and flow phenomena.
• Drive process engineering and documentation, including PFDs, P&IDs, valve and pipe sizing, safety reviews, and compliance with regulatory standards.
• Capture and share learnings through structured documentation and continuous benchmarking of emerging research and industrial best practices.

Your profile

• Master’s degree or PhD in Chemical Engineering, Process Engineering, or related field.
• 5+ years of experience in process engineering, with a strong focus on separation technology or gas–liquid systems.
• Demonstrated experience in experimental design, process testing, and data analysis.
• Solid understanding of fluid dynamics, mass transfer, liquid distribution, and water management.
