Senior Client Solutions Architect

OLI • Houston, TX

5d • Remote

About The Position

OLI is the global standard for electrolyte chemistry simulation, with over 50 years of peer-reviewed science embedded in its platform. More than 500 enterprises and academic institutions across 35+ countries rely on OLI software to make confident, defensible engineering decisions—predicting scale formation, modeling corrosion, simulating extraction and refining processes, and optimizing water chemistry from reservoir to wellhead to facility. Our customers include energy majors, lithium producers, NASA, and leading water treatment operators. We are building the digital infrastructure that makes complex chemistry computable, accessible, and actionable in real time.

We are hiring a Chemical Engineer with hands-on upstream oil and gas experience who combines field-tested instincts with technical rigor and strong communication skills to design chemistry-driven solutions for complex industrial systems.

As a Client Solutions Architect, you will apply predictive thermodynamics using OLI Studio and OLI Flowsheet to solve real-world water and electrolyte challenges in upstream O&G environments — from produced water management and scale inhibition to wellbore chemistry and flow assurance. You will work directly with customers and partner with Sales, Product, and Client Success to translate technical insight into measurable operational and commercial value.

This is a market-facing technical leadership role that directly supports growth through credible, defensible solutions built on real field understanding.

Requirements

• B.S. in Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, or related field
• 7+ years of experience in upstream oil and gas, with direct exposure to produced water management, flow assurance, scale inhibition, or water injection systems
• Experience using OLI Studio and/or OLI Flowsheet (or demonstrated ability and strong motivation to develop proficiency quickly)
• Experience presenting technical content to engineering and operations audiences
• Working knowledge of: Aqueous and produced water chemistry
• Scaling, precipitation, and mineral deposition
• Acid–base and carbonate systems

Nice To Haves

• Corrosion mechanisms in electrolyte and H₂S/CO₂ environments (preferred)

Responsibilities

• Use OLI Studio and OLI Flowsheet to analyze produced water, brine, and electrolyte systems in upstream O&G contexts.
• Build technically sound, defensible modeling workflows aligned with real production challenges — scaling, corrosion, flow assurance, and water handling.
• Interpret plant and field chemistry data and reconcile operational observations with predictive results.
• Clearly articulate modeling assumptions, constraints, and implications to technical and non-technical audiences.
• Partner with Sales on technical discovery, qualification, and solution design for upstream O&G accounts.
• Lead technical components of evaluations, pilots, and proof-of-concept engagements.
• Deliver tailored demonstrations tied to operational outcomes: scale risk reduction, corrosion mitigation, treatment optimization, and cost control.
• Contribute to proposals and technical value narratives.
• Develop depth in upstream O&G chemistry — produced water, scale management, wellbore chemistry, and corrosion engineering.
• Identify recurring chemistry pain points across the upstream segment and translate them into repeatable OLI-based solution frameworks.
• Represent OLI in technical discussions with operators, service companies, and engineering consultants.
• Capture structured voice-of-customer insights from field and customer engagements.
• Identify high-value modeling and chemistry gaps relevant to upstream operations.
• Contribute to standardized solution templates and vertical offerings.

Benefits

• A chance to be part of a visionary company that is solving complex global challenges.
• A collaborative and dynamic work environment where innovation is at the heart of what we do.
• Competitive compensation package, including incentives and bonuses based on performance.
• Opportunities for personal and professional growth.
