Jobbeschreibung

Pave Talent is hiring for a global specialty chemicals company. This plant is newly commissioned, still in startup, and aiming to double output within the next year. There is no knowledge base yet, so you will help write it. Customers sign off on every raw material and process change, so your work gets noticed.

Candidate Profile

• Chemical engineers who have owned a process at pilot or plant scale: reactors, distillation, filtration, crystallization, mixing or similar
• People from specialty chemicals, polymers, resins, coatings, lubricants, battery materials or industrial biotech
• Engineers with a different title today. Process Development, Process Improvement, Production and Manufacturing Engineers all count
• Anyone who can name the number they moved: yield, cycle time, throughput or cost
• Multi-hat people comfortable on the floor around flammable solvents and corrosives

In the site leader's words: "The flexibility of wearing different hats is very, very important to us."

If you want a mature site with every process dialed in, or your background is wafer fab, plating or R&D only, this is not your role.

Key Responsibilities

• First six months: stabilize production, learn the chemistry deeply and troubleshoot until batches run clean every time
• Next: take on the process scope of capital projects as the plant expands
• Throughout: set up the control charts, chase down root causes, write the procedures and train the operators who run them

Qualifications

• A bachelor's or master's in Chemical Engineering
• 5+ years in process engineering or process development, with hands-on time in chemical production
• Experience diagnosing and fixing process equipment yourself
• JMP, Minitab or a similar tool for running a process on data
• Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, or moving back with family here, and on site in Fremont five days a week
• U.S. work authorization without sponsorship, now or in the future

Compensation & Benefits

• $96,000 to $143,000 base. Offers usually land near the middle of the range
• A 10% target bonus that can pay above target in a strong year
• At least 25 paid days off a year, holidays included
• A 401(k) match that vests immediately
• Medical, dental and vision from the first of the month after you start
• Paid parental leave and tuition reimbursement
