What are the responsibilities and job description for the Process Optimization Specialist position at Charm Industrial?
At Charm Industrial, our mission is to combat climate change by converting excess inedible biomass into carbon-rich bio-oil and injecting it into underground storage for permanent carbon removal. We're expanding our team of skilled engineers to design, optimize, and implement pyrolysis process systems that ensure efficiency, safety, and sustainability.
About the Role
We're seeking a highly experienced Senior Process Engineer to join our pyrolysis engineering team. The ideal candidate will be responsible for conducting feasibility studies, pilot testing, material and energy balances, and scale-up strategies for pyrolysis technology. This role requires expertise in thermal decomposition, fluidization engineering, and process scale-up. The successful candidate will work closely with a cross-functional team to iteratively improve the pyrolyzer.
Your Responsibilities
- Conduct feasibility studies, pilot testing, material and energy balances, and scale-up strategies for pyrolysis technology.
- Test and iterate on the next generation of Charm pyrolyzers to develop process systems for biomass conversion and production of bio-oil and biochar.
- Collaborate with engineering, operations, and project management teams to implement new process improvements.
- Evaluate and troubleshoot process-related challenges in pyrolysis systems.
- Provide technical leadership, mentorship, and training to junior engineers and cross-functional teams.
