Process Engineer

Ensuring Chart’s Success…

“Cooler By Design” – Chart’s core business is centered around the design and fabrication of cryogenic equipment; so you can see where we get our tagline from, right? Well, yes and no – see, we think the products we design and build are pretty cool too. Also, we’re problem solvers. Customers don’t come to Chart with an equipment specification, they come to Chart with a challenge. That’s where you come in, because someone has to figure it out – all the way from conceptual design to installation and commissioning of equipment on-site. Chart’s mission is to provide full solutions across the Nexus of Clean™ – clean power, clean water, clean food, and clean industrials. The diverse applications we service echo our commitment to sustainability – from providing full hydrogen solutions across the value chain, offering small and industrial scale carbon capture solutions to customers globally, creating water treatment systems responsible for treating 4.5 billion gallons of water per day in the U.S. and delivering clean water to over a billion people worldwide, providing equipment and solutions for mission critical space launches, decarbonizing the marine industry, and electrifying the mining space. Chart even contributes to the food and beverage industry by making some of your favorite carbonated beverages possible – If nitro coffee or nitro ice cream is your thing – well, that’s Chart technology too (and it’s also cool)!

We are looking to add a  Process Engineer  to our team in  Orem, UT . We would consider candidates who are able to work out of our office across the US, including Allentown, PA, Lacrosse, WI, Orem, UT or The Woodlands, TX.

The Process Engineer begins to take direct engineering responsibility for the conceptual design of Chart process technologies to meet customer requirements. This person must work well within a small team environment while preparing process information deliverables for the basic engineering design package. This position requires someone who is comfortable operating autonomously with open-ended tasks. You will have the opportunity to interact with every part of the technology development from design of new and novel equipment and experiments to detailed large-scale equipment design, sourcing, and operation. It is intellectually engaging work on complex, unique, and novel problems.

What Will You Do?

• Support process development for the innovative Cryogenic Carbon Capture™ technology through Aspen Plus, Aspen HYSYS, and Aspen EDR
• Simulate steady-state and transient/dynamic processes to describe performance and generate heat and material balances
• Work with clients and other engineers to develop feasibility, preFEED, and FEED studies to design Cryogenic Carbon Capture plants
• Prepare process equipment data sheets and equipment lists
• Prepare Process Flow Diagrams
• Assist in the development of Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams
• Assist in the development of wiring and loop drawings and control system architectural drawings for internal research and development work
• Provide process data to mechanical engineering counterparts and key vendors for equipment sourcing
• Check process engineering work performed by other Process and Process I Engineers
• Assist in the preparation of Start-up and Operating Manuals
• Participate in experimental work and prototype operation
• Some travel – 10% or less
• Develop and implement industrial-grade process control, including model predictive controls and human-machine interfaces, for highly integrated prototype and commercial processes (optional, but preferred)

Your Physical Work Environment Will Require…

The ability to frequently sit for extended periods of time, stand, walk, use hands and fingers, handle or feel, and reach with hands and arms. This position is occasionally required to sit, climb, balance, kneel, crouch, or crawl. Lifting of 50 pounds may be required. Specific vision abilities required by this job include close vision, distance vision, color vision, peripheral vision, depth perception and ability to adjust focus. Duties include lengthy visual requirements on computer monitors.

Your Experience Should Be...

• Working knowledge of ASPEN Plus/HYSYS and/or similar process simulation software, including dynamics simulation
• Knowledge of chemical engineering first principles, especially thermodynamics and heat/mass transfer and ability to apply those principles to real-world systems
• Proven teamwork skills
• Sound organizational skills for completing tasks as scheduled
• Strong communication skills both verbal and written for the purpose of explaining challenges and solutions internally, and presenting externally
• Good interpersonal skills to successfully interface other engineering disciplines and customers

We prefer candidates that also have the following:

• 2 to 5 years of process engineering experience (or educational equivalent)
• Computer programming expertise in one or several of C++, C#, Java/JavaScript, or Python
• Knowledge of cryogenic process technologies which can include cryogenic air separation, natural gas liquefaction, hydrogen liquefaction, helium processing and liquefaction, etc.
• Knowledgeable in natural gas processing technologies
• Some experience and interest in control system and human machine interface software
• Understands basic applicable engineering/electrical/safety codes

Our Benefits Package...

• Medical, dental and vision insurance
• Employer contributions to an HSA account
• Health Care and Dependent Care Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA)
• Company-paid short-term and long-term disability coverage
• Basic life insurance with the option to purchase supplemental individual, spouse and dependent child coverage
