Senior Process Engineer, Fuel Cycle
What You’ll Be Doing
You will be at the forefront of designing the world's first continuous fusion fuel cycle – an opportunity to redefine the future of clean energy for the modern world. You will lead process design and implementation for major systems in our fuel cycle, taking systems from concept to commissioning. You'll work with engineers, scientists, and technicians across the company, with a focus on scaling up and integrating these systems into our commercial fusion platform. You will report to the Fuel Cycle Manager and work onsite at our Everett, WA office.
You Will
Own creation-to-integration engineering for major components of the fuel cycle, including system process design, procurement, installation, and commissioning
Perform detailed design for process equipment such as columns, reactors, membranes, heaters, pumps, and piping under varied conditions (ambient, cryogenic, and vacuum)
Use process simulation tools to support design development, integration, and case studies
Produce important deliverables including PFDs, P&IDs, H&MBs, HAZOPs, and sizing calculations
Independently lead projects across engineering disciplines (mechanical, electrical, controls, and operations) to deliver fully integrated process designs
Lead high-level design reviews to validate solutions and incorporate feedback into systems
Mentor fuel cycle engineers and work cross-functionally to build technical capabilities across Helion
Required Skills
Bachelor's degree in Chemical, Mechanical, or Nuclear Engineering or equivalent experience in chemical process design or development
8+ years of experience delivering full-scope chemical engineering projects, including managing technical deliverables and schedules
Experience taking engineering ideas from abstract concepts to physical reality, demonstrated by delivering first-of-a-kind hardware solutions
Experience applying first-principles thinking by leading design and troubleshooting in complex engineering systems
Experience performing detailed process equipment sizing calculations including chemical, fluid, thermal, mechanical, and relief systems
Experience leading and working on multidisciplinary engineering projects
