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. Key points 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 Skills & Experience 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. Experience with AspenPlus, KGTower, or similar simulation tools. Familiarity with PFDs, P&IDs, H&MBs, and process safety documentation.
