Process Development Engineer

Key responsibilities The Process Development Engineer will execute laboratory and pilot-scale experiments to support internal technology development, including mixing-driven unit operations and related process development work. The role requires disciplined experimental execution, high-quality documentation, and the ability to troubleshoot equipment setups and process behavior efficiently. The engineer will perform routine analytical measurements, manage and organize experimental datasets, and summarize results in clear technical writeups that connect observations to actionable next steps. The role will work cross-functionally with engineers from multiple disciplines (mechanical, electrical, controls, and chemical) as well as with operations and materials functions to ensure test readiness, safe execution, and timely progress against defined work plans. The engineer will also contribute to lab readiness and safe operations by following SOPs, maintaining good housekeeping, and supporting chemical inventory, SDS organization, and related HSE tasks as assigned. The candidate will have the opportunity to periodically present work in a team setting and to customers, clients, government organizations and collaborators. Required qualifications B.S. in Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, Material Science or a closely related discipline, M.S. degree of strong value 3 to 7 years of experience Hands-on laboratory experience Ability to execute experiments safely with disciplined documentation and traceable data capture Familiarity with routine analytical methods (HPLC, GC, Spectroscopy, imaging, etc.) Practical troubleshooting capability and comfortable working in laboratory and pilot-plant environments Strong Chemistry Background Excellent verbal and written communication skills Strong proficiency in data reduction and visualization (Excel, Matlab, Python, etc.) Strong work ethic and team player attributes Preferred qualifications Experience with mixing processes is a plus Strong understanding of fundamental chemical process concepts (mass balance, heat transfer, material handling) Experience writing test plans and test reports, or working in a documentation-driven environment Experience with advanced statistical methods including Design of Experiments (DOE) plans and implementation using statistical tools (JMP, Minitab, etc.)
