Principal/Senior Process Development Engineer, Process Engineering & safety, ISC

A*STAR, Emory, Texas, United States, 75440


A Senior/Principal Process Development Engineer is responsible for developing or overseeing the development of chemical processes including low carbon processes as well as monitoring, troubleshooting, and optimizing processes in a pilot plant leading up to a technology transfer. He/she will perform process design, engineering, and scale-up of a Low-Carbon Technology Translational Testbed (LCT3) on Jurong Island leading up to a technology transfer. This role requires a good understanding and knowledge of the underlying key process/chemical engineering and scientific principles of low carbon technologies and uses computer-aided engineering tools such as simulators, process, and plant engineering tools for process development and engineering. This individual thinks analytically to solve problems and improve existing methods and processes.

Key Accountabilities

Responsible for providing scientific and technical direction and/or development, design, and scale-up of carbon capture, utilization, and low-carbon hydrogen technologies

Responsible for developing new projects, including timelines, milestones, methodological approaches, expected results, and necessary resources.

Responsible for executing or planning/directing laboratory-based or pilot-based experiments to support process development, scale-up campaigns, and process optimization leading up to technology transfer

Lead or support a multi-disciplinary team of scientists and engineers through technical challenges and contribute to the successful completion of projects

Supervise and mentor junior process development scientists and engineers

JOB REQUIREMENTS

Doctorate or Master's degree in Chemical or Mechanical or other related engineering fields

Possess at least 10 years of experience in process development and engineering with good knowledge of process control and safety in the process or chemical industry

Excellent working knowledge of various process technologies, scale-up & scale-down, and process intensification methodologies or principles

Has good working experience with relevant computer-aided engineering tools including simulation (e.g., Aspen Plus, AVEVA, Gproms, etc.), and the use of detailed process models to support process design, scale-up, and process optimization during operations

Experience in collaborating and has a good appreciation of other related disciplines e.g., electrical and instrumentation, automation, process safety, etc.

Ability to plan and/or execute experiments at laboratory and pilot scale (scale-up/scale-down) to support process development, troubleshooting, and optimization

Working experience in a chemical production facility and familiarity with regulations, codes, and industry best practices would be a bonus

Working experience in process/plant engineering tools (e.g., AutoCAD process/plant engineering, Aucotec Engineering Base, etc.) would be a bonus

Possess technical leadership quality to lead a team and/or supervise junior engineers

Possess strong interpersonal, oral and written communication and organization skills

Self-driven and meticulous individual who has the strong ability to multi-task and has good time management skills to deliver results under tight timelines

Excellent written and oral communication skills for the timely documentation, presentation, and discussion of results in a fast-paced, multidisciplinary, team-based environment
