About this role
- Lead end-to-end process development: concept lab validation pilot scale-up and deployment.
- Design and optimize liquid desiccant loops (e.g., absorption/regeneration, heat mass transfer, concentration management, contamination control).
- Build and maintain process models (mass/energy balances, thermodynamics, equilibrium, kinetics where relevant) and translate them into design criteria.
- Develop PFDs, PIDs, equipment datasheets, and operating philosophies.
- Define pilot plans, test matrices, instrumentation strategy, and analyze data to drive iteration.
- Work with vendors/partners on equipment selection (pumps, heat exchangers, packed columns/contactor designs, membranes, sensors, materials compatibility).
- Own process safety deliverables: HAZID/HAZOP, relief/venting considerations, SOPs, MOC, commissioning and start-up support.
- Establish process documentation and handoff packages for manufacturing/field teams.
- 7+ years of experience in process engineering with at least 3 years in a scale-up / industrialization role (pilot commercial), not purely RD.
- Demonstrated experience with liquid desiccants (any domain: dehumidification, gas drying, chemical processing, absorption systems, solvent loops, etc.).
- Strong fundamentals in thermodynamics, heat and mass transfer, fluid mechanics.
- Experience with saline/halide corrosion and materials compatibility (Ti, SS316L, FRP-lined MS
- Hands-on experience taking processes from bench/pilot to scale.
- Proficiency with at least one process/modeling toolset (e.g., Aspen Plus/HYSYS, gPROMS, DWSIM, MATLAB/Python-based modeling).
- Comfortable creating clear engineering deliverables and working cross-functionally.
- Experience with air handling / HVAC integration, heat pump systems, or energy recovery.
- Familiarity with techno-economic analysis (TEA) and cost scaling.
- Experience with sensors and controls strategy for process loops.
- Establish baseline process model(s) and performance targets for desiccant-based systems.
- Deliver a qualified process envelope (RH, temperature, COP, LPD/MW) with validated bench-to-pilot data.
- Produce initial PFD/PID and pilot test plan with instrumentation and safety reviews.
- Deliver a DFM/assembly handoff package that the production team can build against.
