Process Development Engineer - Computational Fluid Modeling
Our client, a growing innovator in food additive manufacturing and process technology, is seeking a Process Development Engineer to lead new product and equipment development using computational fluid modeling and experimental design. This role offers a unique opportunity to work across R&D, pilot plant design, and hands-on implementation, supporting both food and emerging chemical industry clients. Approximately 60% of the role focuses on in-house innovation and process design, 20% involves working directly with technicians on the floor, and 20% is dedicated to setting up and analyzing experiments.
Key Responsibilities:
- Develop new processes and equipment using CFD tools (FLUENT or COMSOL) and apply modeling to support design decisions.
- Create detailed CAD diagrams and technical documentation for internal teams and outside fabricators.
- Collaborate with chemists, engineers, and technicians on design execution and implementation.
- Translate in-house ideas and client requests into technical solutions and pilot plant recommendations.
- Support lab and pilot-scale testing, including experimental design and troubleshooting.
- Spend time on the production floor supporting installation, scale-up, and validation of new systems.
- Contribute to production support activities and technology transfer from R&D to full-scale operations.
Required Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s, Master’s, or Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related field (Physics, etc.).
- U.S. Citizen or Permanent Resident (required).
- Minimum 4 years of experience with CFD modeling and experimental design in a manufacturing or lab setting.
- Hands-on experience with FLUENT or COMSOL for computational fluid modeling.
- Proficiency in CAD.
- Strong knowledge of heat and mass transfer, fluid dynamics, and equipment specification.
- Experience installing and commissioning equipment in lab or production environments.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience with drying technologies or powder processing.
- Background in rheology, molecular dynamics, or molecular force interactions.
- Familiarity with Siemens Culgi or similar molecular modeling tools.
- Knowledge of molecular interaction techniques to improve product stability and flow.
Benefits:
- Competitive compensation with performance-based bonus eligibility.
- Tailored relocation assistance package.
- Collaborative and innovative R&D environment.
- Opportunity to work with cutting-edge technologies across food and chemical applications.
