Process/Chemical Engineer

· Apply engineering fundamentals and a broad set of process engineering tools to solve technical problems and create novel detailed designs for hazardous gas and chemical systems such as refrigerants, cryogenic gases, viscous fluids, corrosive fluids, reactive fluids, and flammable fluids.

· Provide process engineering support to operations to help resolve process bottlenecks and other long-standing issues.

· Provide technical expertise to the engineering/design team and other groups within Tesla as a subject matter expect (SME).

· Lead front-end and detailed process designs including the following deliverables:

· Scope development and Basis of Design document development.

· PFDs, P&IDsand3D pipe design development, including pressure drop analysis, Aspen simulation where required, pressure relief valve calculations, and Pipe-Flo modeling.

· Sequence of Operations / Controls Narrative documents.

· Participate in field construction and commissioning activities by serving as the point of contact for technical questions and real-time issue resolution. This is not an on-call position.

· Review process design work performed by others on the Process Team to ensure every design maintains the highest level of quality, including P&ID's, plan drawings, and single-line iso's.

· Review and/or update master piping and equipment specifications.

Mentor less experienced engineers on the team.

· Bachelor's Degree in Chemical Engineering.

· 6+ years of experience in hazardous chemical Process Design, Process Improvement or Operations within a high-tech industry such as semiconductor, specialty chemical, solar, battery, etc. A combination of experience with an owner operator and an EPC firm is highly desired.

· Subject matter expertise related to OSHA requirements for hazardous systems and maintenance access, ASME pressure vessel and piping codes, NFPA codes such as NFPA 30 and 55, and relevant building codes.

· Ability to lead or participate in reactive chemical process hazard evaluations and HAZOP reviews of PSM-covered and other hazardous chemical systems.

· Working knowledge of AutoCAD, Navisworks, Bluebeam, Aspen Plus, Aspen HYSYS, and Pipe-Flo. Design engineers are not required to use Revit, but Revit experience is a plus.

· Ability to adapt, multi-task and prioritize work in a fast-paced environment with evolving changes in design requirements.

A positive, "do the impossible" attitude and ability to communicate with peers and stakeholders at all levels including piping designers, stress engineers, other engineering disciplines, customers, and executives.
