Senior Process Engineer

Job Locations: US-TX-Austin

ID: 2024-2925

Category: Engineering

Type: Full Time

Overview

Specializing in high-tech facility design, SSOE provides design and engineering services for a wide variety of process mechanical and chemical systems. Our diversity and breadth of highly skilled and knowledgeable professionals work across industries and integrate into a cross-disciplinary team that provides better understanding of total client systems than the traditional arrangement of specialized, siloed disciplines. A key differentiator of our process mechanical and chemical engineering is our ability to generate fabrication-ready drawings for pipe layouts in-house. We use cutting-edge techniques and software to bring industry leading technology and creative solutions to our clients from day one.

SSOE is seeking a skilled Sr. Process Engineer to join our dynamic team. In this role, you will engage in the design process of cutting-edge industrial and high-tech manufacturing facilities for some of the world's leading high-tech enterprises. Our Sr. Process Engineers create and work on exciting design-build projects for industrial facilities, semiconductor fabs, manufacturing, and/or similar environments, and to develop innovative solutions for intricate and challenging designs, incorporating the latest design methodologies while ensuring adherence to specifications and timely project completion. The projects will consist of systems that may include: fluid transfer, heat exchange, friction loss in piping systems, designs for ultrapure/high purity water systems, specialty gas and chemical systems, solvent/acid/hazardous wastewater treatment systems or other related systems. This position will be a hybrid position, requiring occasional onsite work.

Responsibilities

• Lead the design and development of detailed, optimized, and complex process systems for state-of-the-art industrial and high-tech manufacturing design-build projects.
• Lead the design and engineering efforts for systems including fluid transfer, heat exchange, and related systems to meet production requirements.
• Develop and optimize water purification systems to maintain the highest level of water quality for critical manufacturing processes.
• Analyze and mitigate friction loss in piping systems to ensure optimal fluid transfer and system performance.
• Design and implement effective treatment systems for solvents, acids, hazardous waste, and other industrial effluents in compliance with environmental regulations.
• Design and oversee systems for the safe handling and distribution of specialty gases and chemicals used in manufacturing.
• Develop process flow diagrams, process, and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs), system layout plans, routing, equipment/system sizing and selection, and associated specification write-ups.
• Implement, improve, and expand the selection of new and innovative concepts and/or approaches to solve complex challenges, enhance efficiency, reduce waste, and increase productivity.
• Provide technical direction and support, developing all levels of staff throughout the department to meet client expectations, scope, budget, and schedule.
• Identify, champion, mentor, and coach the development of less experienced staff to elevate the technical and professional expertise of the team.
• Nurture and promote collaboration, communication, strategy, and support within your current team, multidisciplinary teams, and inter-company teams.
• Assist management in articulating discipline capability requirements in support of strategic and business objectives.
• Participate in civic, discipline, and professional activities and associations, with technical publication credits as needed.
• Perform field verifications/site walks to identify, verify, resolve, and incorporate solutions into design packages.

Qualifications

• Bachelor Degree from an ABET accredited school in Chemical Engineering or a related discipline.
• Active Professional Engineering licensure (PE) in the state of practice or the ability to obtain reciprocity within 6 months of employment is required.
• Experience designing systems encompassing fluid transfer, heat exchange, and related systems.
• Knowledge of chemical process engineering principles, process engineering design, and/or facilities engineering in industrial, semiconductor, chemical, or related industries.
• Experience working with AutoCAD (or similar CAD system) and Revit is required; experience with PIPE-FLO and/or other systems is a plus.
• Demonstrated organizational skills, ability to manage multiple tasks simultaneously, and ability to react to shifting priorities.
• Experience performing field verifications and site walks to identify, verify, resolve, and incorporate solutions into design packages.
• Salary Range: $100,000 - $160,000/year depending on location, education, experience, and any certifications that are directly related to the position.
• Benefits include health, dental, and vision insurance, life insurance, 401K retirement savings plan (with company matching), opportunities for professional development and training, PTO, & paid holidays.

We look forward to having you join our team.
