About the Role
We are hiring an engineer to lead the design of novel chemical reactors, taking them from concept through to Code-stamped hardware running in the field. Our reactors handle flammable gases at high pressure and moderate temperatures (200 to 400°C). The central challenges are heat management, materials and joining, and pressure vessel qualification under ASME Section VIII, Division 1, all at a cost that works for commercial deployment. You will choose among competing design approaches and carry the best one into production.
Responsibilities
- Own reactor mechanical design end to end: pressure boundary, internals, headers and manifolds, catalyst handling, flow distribution, and integration into modular skids.
- Lead design selection, evaluating competing architectures on heat transfer, manufacturability, Code path and cost.
- Own the ASME Code path, taking designs through ASME Section VIII, Division 1, including non-welded construction.
- Develop and qualify joining procedures (brazing and welding) under ASME Section IX, with coupon programs, metallography, and burst and leak testing.
- Run thermal and structural analysis, including thermal stress, cycling and fatigue, and pressure loading.
- Own materials selection and compatibility for hydrogen, CO and other flammable gases, steam, and catalysts.
- Design for safe operation with flammable gas at pressure, including relief, containment, leak detection, and hazard reviews.
- Build the supply chain, including material suppliers, finishing and forming vendors, braze shops and pressure vessel fabricators.
- Take prototypes from drawing to test, including coupons, prototype modules, pressure and leak testing, and instrumented testing on process gas.
- Design for scale, carrying designs from demonstration units to commercial modules built in quantity, with cost as a primary design parameter.
Requirements
- BS in Mechanical Engineering, or a related field.
- 8+ years designing and delivering pressure equipment, ideally reactors or compact heat exchangers for flammable or high-pressure gas service.
- Hands-on experience getting equipment through ASME Section VIII, Division 1, including working directly with an Authorized Inspector.
- Experience developing and qualifying brazing or welding procedures under Section IX.
- Solid grounding in metallurgy and materials selection for high-pressure, elevated-temperature gas service, including joint failure modes.
- Proficiency in thermal-structural FEA (ANSYS, Abaqus or equivalent) and in heat transfer analysis.
- A record of taking hardware from concept through fabrication, test and operation.
- Comfort working in a startup environment, moving quickly with incomplete information, running coupon tests, and being hands-on in the lab and on the shop floor.
