About The Position

We're hiring a Senior Process Engineer to bring deep, practicing process engineering expertise into our product. You'll pair years of hands-on plant design experience (heat and material balances, PFDs and P&IDs, emissions control, equipment sizing, etc) with product development, turning how an excellent process engineer thinks, checks, and makes judgment calls into capabilities within our automated design engine product, where we leverage AI to automate every step of the engineering design process to produce end construction design deliverables for large scale capital projects such as natural gas power generation and beyond.

Requirements

• Owned the process design of gas power, industrial plants, chemical production, polymer synthesis, or similar, end to end.
• T-shaped technical excellence: broad understanding of how process connects to adjacent disciplines and the implications of trade-offs across them, while also having deep expertise in 1-2 areas.
• Evidence of strong first principles thinking: someone who has challenged "this is how we've always done it" syndrome.
• Excitement to work in a fast-paced, high-performance environment, and embrace extreme ownership.
• The ability to prioritize impact by ruthlessly finding the bottlenecks and solving the most important problems.
• Hands-on engineers who can speak to the excruciating minutia and details of their work (the calc, the edge case, the reviewer comment that changed the design).
• Mission alignment and desire to build a future of abundance.
• Significant hands-on process design experience at an engineering firm or owner.
• PE preferred.

Nice To Haves

• Experience with utility scale natural gas power generation plant design.
• Experience building your own simulation, calculation, or analysis software tools or other applications.
• Experience with AI coding agent tools (Codex, Claude Code, etc) for work or personal uses.

Responsibilities

• Turn how an excellent process engineer thinks, checks, and makes judgment calls into capabilities within our automated design engine product.
• Leverage AI to automate every step of the engineering design process to produce end construction design deliverables for large scale capital projects such as natural gas power generation and beyond.
• Execute instead of manage/organize others' work.
