Process Design Engineer - Plant Process
Ammobia, San Francisco, California, United States, 94199
Overview
Join to apply for the
Process Design Engineer - Plant Process
role at
Ammobia .
About Ammobia Ammobia is on a mission to revolutionize the ammonia industry. We are a seed-stage startup developing Haber Bosch 2.0 – a next-generation ammonia synthesis process enabling cost-effective and clean ammonia production. Our proprietary swing reactor system runs at 10x lower pressures and 4x higher conversions than the state of the art, enabling economical production at any plant scale or energy source.
Clean ammonia will support ammonia’s growing role in our decarbonized world, tackling some of the most difficult to abate sectors including chemicals, fertilizers, and heavy-duty transportation. We are supported and recognized by leading climate tech organizations including Starlight Ventures, the US Department of Energy, Collaborative Fund, Third Derivative, Forbes 30u30, and more.
Job Description Ammobia is seeking a motivated and creative
Process Design Engineer
to develop and optimize process designs for next generation ammonia production plants. You will play a key role in designing Ammobia's product, the ammonia plant, and its integrations with various feedstock and energy sources.
You are an experienced and creative process engineer looking for a high impact role in an early-stage startup. You value teamwork, data-based decisions, and rapid iteration.
Responsibilities
Design, simulate, and optimize plant process designs incorporating our proprietary swing reactor
Develop novel separations, energy integration, and process integration schemes
Build flowsheets BFDs, PFDs, HMBs to iterate on process designs to de-risk and cost-down the plant, including through internal cost estimation and collaboration with external parties
Develop plant designs and optimizations for specific plant scales and customer use cases
Work closely with our reaction engineering team and other process engineers to design an integrated and optimized system
Develop and implement techno-economic models for our ammonia production scheme, especially from low carbon and variable energy sources
Qualifications
5+ years’ experience in a relevant industrial setting, likely an EPC, technology licensor, boutique engineering firm, or similar
Expertise in plant process design, for example in energy, O&G, chemicals
Advanced knowledge of flow sheeting and custom modeling software, e.g., Aspen, gPROMS, etc
Advanced knowledge of chemical processing unit operations and systems, e.g., gas separations, heat recovery, purge systems, etc
Experience generating capital cost estimates through Aspen Capital Cost or public cost data
Experience generating class 4-5 cost estimates through fabricator/EPC outreach
Experience building dynamic process models and modeling dynamic unit operations
Excellent written and verbal communication skills
Self-motivated, proactive, and able to work both independently and collaboratively
Propensity towards teamwork and collaboration
Located or willing to relocate to SF
Nice-to-have
Experience with cyclic reaction or separation processes, e.g., TSA, PSA, similar
Experience modeling reactors, especially gas phase catalytic reactors
Experience building system optimization models for variable renewable energy driven processes
Experience in ammonia synthesis, cracking, or separations
PhD or equivalent experience
Experience in a startup
Location The position is full-time and in-person in San Francisco, CA. Compensation and job title will be commensurate with experience.
Compensation Base pay range:
$100,000.00/yr - $200,000.00/yr
Benefits
Competitive equity grants
Healthcare, dental, vision, life insurance, 401k
Gym benefit
Regular team social events
Paid time off, including closure between Christmas and New Years
