Process Engineer (New Product Introduction)

Job Description

The Process Engineer within the New Products and Innovation program will play a key role in the development, validation, and scale-up of emerging industrial wastewater treatment solution.

The candidate will contribute to the scale-up of new technologies from bench to pilot to full-scale commercial deployment, bridging fundamental process understanding with practical engineering execution for end-to-end technology development and implementation. The role includes project coordination across internal teams, vendors, and customers to ensure successful delivery of pilot and demonstration projects.

Job Responsibilities

• Develop process design basis, technical specifications, operating windows, and performance assumptions/claims

• Maintain and standardize process design templates, calculation methods, and engineering tools

• Develop and improve internal tools for process design and equipment sizing

• Design and execute experiments, including building and operating bench-scale and pilot-scale systems for proof-of-concept (POC), design verification, and validation

• Lead pilot system design, setup, commissioning, and troubleshooting activities

• Conduct technical risk assessments (e.g., HAZOP), including identification of failure modes, mitigations, and control strategies

• Develop control philosophy and functional narratives in collaboration with PLC programmers to ensure robust system automation

• Coordinate engineering inputs required for GA drawings, 2D layouts, and 3D models

• Ensure technical deliverables are accurate, consistent, and aligned with validated performance data

• Work closely with Engineering and Manufacturing teams to translate R&D outputs into standardized, repeatable, and manufacturable design packages

• Establish commissioning and acceptance protocols, troubleshooting playbooks, and field readiness standards

• Support on-site commissioning and pilot studies as required

• Capture field learnings and translate them into design improvements, tool enhancements, and updated engineering standards

• Collaborate with commercial teams to incorporate feedback from operating projects into design improvements

• Execute NPI plans, including scope definition, milestones, and resource planning

• Support proposal and regional manufacturing teams in conducting costing exercise, drafting budgetary and technical proposal for solution packages offering

Requirements:

• Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD degree in Chemical, Environmental, Mechanical Engineering (or equivalent)
• 3–5 years of experience in the water industry (EPC, OEM, or water technology/solution companies preferred)
• Demonstrated experience in industrial wastewater treatment solutions
• Hands-on experience with pilot systems, commissioning, and troubleshooting
• Strong foundation in process design, including mass balance and cost estimation
• Experience in preparing design documents (i.e., PFDs, P&IDs, Equipment list, Instrument list, 2D layout and GA drawings)
• Strong project management and organizational skills; able to manage multiple tasks simultaneously
