Job Summary:

We are seeking a highly motivated and driven Process Engineer with a strong background in EPC project execution, proven history of developing FEED packages for chemicals/fuels and novel process scale-up, to assist with the design, commissioning and deployment of our first-of-a-kind (FOAK) methane-to-methanol conversion technology.

This position offers a unique opportunity to play a pivotal role in the development and commissioning of a transformative, cost-effective chemicals production technology. In this role you will work in a multidisciplinary engineering team and support key engineering efforts across FEED, detailed design, fabrication, and start-up, partnering closely with EPC contractors, technology partners, and internal R&D teams.

This role is ideal for a mid-career level process engineer who is eager to apply EPC discipline to emerging clean technologies, and help scale innovative gas-to-chemicals solutions to commercial reality.

●     Lead engineering efforts for FOAK systems from engineering design through commissioning, ensuring delivery

of safe, robust, and scalable process design

●     Provide technical leadership on core process engineering deliverables such as

○     Process Flow Diagrams (PFDs)

○     Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs)

○     Heat and Material Balances

○     Equipment datasheets and specifications

●     Execute and validate process simulations using Aspen HYSYS to support equipment sizing and system

optimization

●     Drive and support FEED and detailed engineering in collaboration with EPC firms, ensuring alignment with

project schedules, cost targets, and regulatory requirement

●     Support HAZOPs, PHAs, and other process safety reviews, integrating best practices into engineering design and

operation plans

●     Oversee the design, procurement, and integration of modular/skid-mounted process systems, ensuring fit-for-

purpose design and manufacturability

●     Provide hands-on technical support during FAT, commissioning, and start-up of pilot and demonstration

systems, including on-site troubleshooting and optimization

●     Assist development of standard operating procedures (SOPs), control philosophies, and start-up guides to

ensure safe and consistent plant operation

●     Work cross-functionally with R&D, operations, and business development teams to meet technical milestones

and customer-driven performance metrics

●     Champion a strong safety culture, ensuring compliance with EH&S standards and applicable codes (e.g., API,

ASME, NFPA)

●     Master’s or Bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering or related field.

●     5+ years of process engineering experience in EPC project environments, including FEED, detailed design, and

start-up

●     Proven experience in process scale-up, especially in novel or first-of-a-kind technologies, and working with

modular or skid-mounted systems

●     Deep understanding of gas processing, hydrocarbon separation, and reactor-based systems (preferably

methanol synthesis or syngas conversion)

●     Demonstrated ability to translate process requirements into industrial-grade engineering packages and work

effectively with multidisciplinary EPC teams

●     Strong hands-on experience with process simulation tools (e.g., Aspen HYSYS)

●     Field experience with plant commissioning, troubleshooting, and start-up

●     Knowledge of process automation, instrumentation, and control systems is a plus

●   Strong understanding of process safety, with experience conducting and implementing HAZOP

recommendations

●     Experience in early-stage clean tech, startups, or FOAK commercialization environments

●     Knowledge of renewable natural gas (RNG), syngas processing, or alternative fuels

●     Excellent communication skills and the ability to coordinate effectively with diverse stakeholders including EPC

contractors, vendors, and internal teams

●     High tolerance for ambiguity, with a hands-on, problem-solving mindset and ability to thrive in fast-paced

development environments

●     Willingness to travel to field sites and fabrication yards during critical phases of project execution

Location, Travel & Work Authorization

●     This is a full-time, on-site role based at our Woburn, MA facility. We are seeking candidates who can work in

person as part of a highly collaborative, hands-on engineering team. While the role is primarily office and lab-

based, periodic travel is expected to support commissioning and troubleshooting activities at partner and pilot

plant sites.
