Process Engineer Jobs

Process Engineer

Reports to: Katherine Mizrahi Rodriguez, VP of Engineering

Job Overview:

Osmoses Inc. is a diverse and growing team of scientists, engineers, and business professionals developing a new generation polymer membrane technology for industrial gas separations. Osmoses Inc. membrane technologies can redefine the way chemical separations are performed today and disrupt separation markets worldwide, reducing industrial energy consumption while accelerating the adoption of alternative energy sources with lower environmental impact.

Osmoses Inc. is building a Product and Engineering team to design, qualify, and deploy small- and large-scale pilots for the first Osmoses product line. The Product and Engineering team will work on process engineering, pre- and post-pilot membrane testing, and detailed planning and design work en route to commercial-scale pilots.

The Process Engineer will work cross-functionally with the technology and the engineering and business teams to support the development of the first product through engineering analysis. They will build process models for membrane separation systems and traditional separation technologies such as pressure-swing adsorption, amine absorption, and distillation. The process engineer will work with the process team to support customer engagement en route to planning and execution of pilot projects. The work will primarily include modeling of customer-specific use cases and techno-economical analysis for membrane or hybrid separation systems.

Job Duties

• Engages with external parties to procure engineering equipment for accurate cost estimates and modeling, and for eventual product skid construction.
• Performs process optimization and sensitivity analysis to optimize process needs and maximize Osmoses product performance.
• Prioritizes process analyses based on company needs and supports maintenance and management of customer databases with process engineering project details.
• Works creatively to design process solutions that maximize process cost and energy efficiency in various applications, and continuously innovate to improve on prior designs.
• Develops process design models for gas separation applications including unit operations such as pressure-swing adsorption, gas separation membranes, and cryogenic distillation.
• Ensure compliance of processes with internal company standards, industrial standards, and customer requirements.
• Engages with the technology team and prospective customers to establish process model scope, separation requirements, and engineering roadmap to deploy selected solutions.
• Considers application-specific and company-specific design criteria in process analysis in order to add value for customers in select market applications.
• Performs customer-specific process analysis, engages in team meetings with customers, organizes findings, presents outcomes, and iterates on analysis based on feedback.

Requirements

• Proficiency with process software including Aspen Hysys, ChemCad, ProTreat, etc.
• Ability to adapt to evolving project scopes in response to customer or company needs.
• Strong interpersonal skills, including the ability to work as part of a diverse and growing team of scientists, engineers, and business/finance employees is required.
• A bachelor’s or master’s degree in chemical engineering or related field.
• Experience with project management and team coordination, in addition to excellent organizational, writing, presentation, and oral communication skills.
• 2-3+ years of industrial experience in process modeling of pressure-swing adsorption or membrane separation processes, and an understanding of process development cycle.
• Ability to work effectively on cross-functional teams in leading and supporting roles.
• Excellent technical skill in process analysis. Strong problem solving skills.
