• Simulate and model process flows from ore to final product, optimizing efficiency and performance.
• Lead the development of KoBold’s proprietary process modeling tools and identify new technology development opportunities.
• Build and manage partnerships with vendors to customize and implement chemical processing solutions.
• Design and evaluate laboratory tests to understand performance implications and scale results for industrial use.
• Present findings and collaborate with external partners and stakeholders to drive technological advancements.

• Advanced degree in the physical sciences or engineering, with significant post-degree work experience as a chemical or process engineer.
• Proven track record of scaling chemical processes from bench scale to production.
• Expertise in first principle thinking, technoeconomic modeling, and process control methods.
• Strong background in experimental design, laboratory analysis, and process evaluation.
• Excellent communication skills for working in a highly interdisciplinary environment.
• Ability to independently prioritize and manage multiple tasks effectively.
• Passion for continuous learning, innovation, and problem-solving.
• Experience with commercial process modeling software (e.g., Aspen HYSYS, METSIM) and modeling in Python is highly desirable.
• Experience in geochemical and mineralogical data analysis, pyro and hydrometallurgy is a plus.

• Competitive salary and performance-based bonuses.
• Opportunities for professional development and growth in a fast-growing industry.
• Remote-first work environment with flexibility in location.
• Health benefits, paid time off, and other employee perks.
