Job description

We see the role as

The Engineering & Process Research (E&PR) team looks to drive process innovation within Carbon Clean, solve high-value problems, andidentifyand fill critical knowledge gaps. As an R&D Engineer within the E&PR organization, you will be responsible for building fit for purpose reactor/contactor models and thermodynamic models to support new process development and engineering at Carbon Clean, in addition to providing timely and high-quality analysis of process data and providing recommendations to the technical teams.

You will be an integral part of the idea generation process,and your work will be critical to driving process innovation and intellectual property generation for Carbon Clean. You will also proactively engage with internal and external stakeholders, consulting with thoughtful and well-communicated solutions custom-fit to their requirements.

We’lltrust you to

• Build and own the development of custom models for reaction processes and building blocks in CarbonClean’sCO2capture processes,validatemodels using field and bench-scale data, and continuously improvemodels to improve predictions.

• Build and own the development of thermodynamics (phase-equilibria) models, property models, degradation models,validatingmodels using lab data, and continuouslybettermodels to improve predictions.

• Evaluatedifferentmodelingplatforms and developnew approachesto improve accuracy of model predictions.

• Support new idea generation, de-risk novel process concepts, and pilot/process-scale troubleshooting activities.

• Proactively preparesimulation plans in support of project goals and perform post-processing and data analysis using your knowledge of reaction engineering and thermodynamics.

• Preparefigures, reports, and presentations to document project results. Present these results regularly to internal and external stakeholders.

• Develop andmaintainexpertisein the company’s core technologies through reading literature and attending conferences and webinars.

Requirements

You’llbe successful in this role if you have a combination of below knowledge,skillsand experience:
