About AirJoule, LLCAre you passionate about making a difference in the fight against climate change? Then AirJoule is the place for you! We are a joint venture between GE Vernova and Montana Technologies, and a leader in the global sustainability transition. Our revolutionary atmosphere water harvesting technology enables transformative HVAC products that help our customers save money on their energy bills while reducing their environmental impact. The same core technology also enables atmospheric water harvesting products that create clean, abundant, and decentralized water for industrial, commercial, and humanitarian purposes. If you are a highly motivated and experienced individual who wants to make a real-world impact, we encourage you to apply!
Position Summary
AirJoule is seeking a Principal Applications Engineer to join the application engineering team, which focuses on optimization of device performance and understanding its performance landscape. AirJoule® technology dehumidifies air with record-breaking energy efficiency, and then converts it into pure water. The role of the Principal Applications Engineer is essential for the success of the technology, because it connects basic R&D to real-world performance. This role will be involved with modeling of AirJoule® systems and subcomponents, with respect to mass balance, process properties, and thermal management. The Principal Applications Engineer is expected to guide experimentation to validate the models and will run in tandem with the product development team in order to optimize AirJoule® technology. This assignment will be located at AirJoule’s headquarters in Newark, DE. The Principal Applications Engineer should be familiar with complex chemical or mechanical systems, process control and automation, and developing software-based models of chemical and mechanical systems.
Key ResponsibilitiesTo perform in this position successfully, an individual must be able to perform each key responsibility satisfactorily. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions. Other duties may be assigned to meet business needs.
Coordinate efforts between the Applications Engineering and Product Development teams, aimed at optimization of AirJoule® adsorption systems. This will include optimization of geometry, sizing, flowpath, adsorption kinetics as it pertains to AirJoule® adsorbent-coated heat exchangers.Develop models/simulations for AirJoule® systems, interactions with environments, and AirJoule® adsorption subcomponents. Software such as ASPEN, Matlab, COMSOL, DWSIM, Solidworks, etc. may be utilized.Lead efforts to design and implement supporting infrastructure for AirJoule® prototypes, such as power sources, heat exchangers, communications systems, and transportation containers.Act as a mentor to junior employees and help provide development opportunities and support.Work with the Applications Engineering Team to design testing campaigns with Design-of-Experiment methods, execute them with sufficient experimental rigor, compile and communicate results.Document experimental results in the form of PowerPoint presentations, technical report documents, standard operating procedures (SOPs), and electronic laboratory notebook (ELN) entries.Train new employees in the responsibilities listed herein and similar work.Uphold a safe, respectful, collaborative, inclusive, and appreciative team environment.
Education and Experience RequirementsMinimum Education: Bachelor’s degree (8+ years of experience), or 6+ years and a Master's degree, or a 2+ and a PhD… in chemical engineering or chemistry. Related degrees with significant direct experience in chemical engineering / chemistry will be considered.Experience with simulation is preferred, especially modeling of chemical processes and thermodynamics, computation fluid dynamics, or modeling of reactors/packed beds/membrane filters/etc.. (ASPEN, DWSIM, COMSOL, Matlab, etc…)
Knowledge, Skills and AbilitiesExperience with running multicomponent mechanical and/or chemical systems, such as ‘rigs’, reactors, automotives, technical prototypes, etc. including knowledge of safe operating methods.Experience with modeling of chemical and mechanical processes with software such as ASPEN, Matlab, COMSOL, DWSIM, etc.Experience with computation fluid dynamics is nice to have.Understanding of adsorption processes and mass transport. Fields with similar concepts such as ion exchange, heterogeneous catalysis, etc. are acceptable.Basic understanding of mechanical systems, especially heat exchangers, pumps, fans, motors and condensers.Passionate about hands-on work while acting as a driver with respect to project execution.Ability to work under pressure and flexibility towards pivoting.Strong interpersonal skills and desire to work as part of a team.
