Job Summary
Your mission
If you want your simulations to drive real-world decisionsnot just nice plotsthis role is for you. Youll help scale green methanol from early scale-up work to industrial application turning plant data and rigorous models into engineering and commercial clarity.
Why this role is worth your time
- Real impact: Your models inform design choices cost outlook and scale-up investments.
- Real data validation: Compare models against actual plant operations.
- Modern workflow: Steady-state dynamic modeling Python/MATLAB automation version control.
- High ownership: Fast learning curve close collaboration across R&D operations engineering and commercial.
Build validate and run simulation models that become the quantitative backbone for process design and scale-up. Youll keep modeling assumptions and thermodynamics consistent deliver trustworthy outputs and make complex system behavior actionable for cross-functional teams.
What youll do
- Develop validate and maintain steady-state and dynamic process simulation models
- Define and maintain a consistent modeling basis (thermo packages assumptions data)
- Generate mass & energy balances and simulation inputs for equipment sizing and process design
- Provide reliable outputs for cost estimation and commercial evaluations
- Run optimizations sensitivity studies and scenario analyses
- Support troubleshooting and debottlenecking via plant data model comparisons
- Use Python and/or MATLAB for data processing automation and reporting (incl. AI/agentic coding when useful)
- Maintain clear documentation and version control for models and results
Your profile
What you bring
- Degree in Chemical Engineering Process Engineering or related field
- Hands-on experience with at least one simulator: Aspen Plus Aspen HYSYS gPROMS or similar dynamic modeling software
- Proven ability to build and maintain steady-state models (dynamic is a plus)
- Strong fundamentals in thermodynamics phase behavior and unit operations
- Python and/or MATLAB for data workflows automation reporting visualization
- Experience with optimization sensitivity and scenario work
- Clear communication and collaboration across engineering R&D operations and commercial
- Structured work style with emphasis on documentation traceability and version control
Nice to have
- Pilot-plant experience
- Git-based workflows reproducible modeling setups light CI/automation
- Exposure to Techno Economic Modeling / cost engineering interfaces
