Senior Process Engineer

Description

• Develop and maintain steady-state and dynamic process models using Aspen HYSYS.
• Provide technical leadership and mentor junior engineers.
• Define operating conditions, equipment sizing, utilities, and safety systems.
• Evaluate design tradeoffs, control strategies, and system operability using simulation results.
• Plan and interpret experiments to validate models and refine process performance.
• Support safety analyses (HAZOP/LOPA) and define control narratives and process monitoring strategies.
• Specify reactors, heat exchangers, separators, pumps, compressors, and related process equipment.
• Lead creation of PFDs, P&IDs, and process architecture from concept through detailed design.
• Drive scale-up from lab to pilot and production, identifying key risks and process limits.

Requirements

Experience Required

A fast-moving technology organization is seeking a Senior Process Engineer to lead process modeling, design, and scale-up for advanced energy and thermal-chemical systems. This role is ideal for engineers with strong fundamentals in thermodynamics, reaction engineering, and process simulation who enjoy building real systems that operate reliably under demanding conditions.

• Strong communication and documentation skills.
• Strong proficiency in Aspen HYSYS (steady-state required; dynamic preferred).
• Experience owning PFDs, P&IDs, and equipment specifications.
• Familiarity with complementary modeling tools or scripting environments is a plus.
• 7+ years of experience in chemical process design, development, or scale-up.
• Track record of scaling processes from prototype or pilot to production.
• Bachelor’s degree in Chemical or Mechanical Engineering (Master’s/PhD preferred).
• Solid foundation in thermodynamics, reaction engineering, mass/energy balances, and heat transfer.
• Experience with extreme-environment processes (high-temp, high-pressure, cryogenic, etc.) is beneficial.
• Background in safety-critical, regulated, or industrial environments preferred.
