About the Role

Lead process engineering for a modular synthetic fuels system, spanning concept design through deployment and commissioning. You will shape first-of-a-kind technology across reactor, electrolysis, and direct air capture modules, helping the team scale safely and avoid costly design rework.

What You'll Do
  • Own process engineering across the system from early architecture through construction, commissioning, and deployment.
  • Lead process safety activities, including HAZOPs, hazard assessments, and FMEAs, to support safe and compliant designs.
  • Develop process architectures that balance production cost, efficiency, and practical deployment needs.
  • Oversee construction and commissioning of large-scale synthetic fuel projects.
  • Capture and apply engineering lessons to improve designs as the technology scales.
What We're Looking For
  • 10 to 15 years of process engineering experience, including end-to-end process design from concept through deployment.
  • Experience designing, building, and commissioning first-of-a-kind process plants or industrial-scale systems.
  • Background developing new technology and working with large EPC or FEED teams.
  • Experience leading process safety and using HAZOP and FMEA.
  • Knowledge of process simulation, P&ID design, mass and energy balances, direct air capture, electrolysis, and Sabatier reactors.
  • Bachelor's or master's degree in chemical engineering or a related field.
