Chemical Engineer

SPiZ NFusE, a fusion-energy-based deep-tech startup working on next-generation fusion-energy technologies, is looking for a young, bright, committed, and technically motivated Chemical Engineer to join our R&D Laboratory.

The selected candidate will work as part of the R&D team on the development, testing, and optimization of chemical and process systems for advanced fusion-energy applications.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and develop purification systems for liquid-metal loops.
• Develop techniques for the removal of corrosion products, activation products, dissolved impurities, and other contaminants from liquid metals.
• Conduct laboratory experiments related to liquid-metal purification and chemical processing.
• Study corrosion behavior and corrosion-product generation, transport, and removal in liquid-metal systems.
• Investigate chemical compatibility of structural materials with liquid metals and high-temperature process environments.
• Design and test filtration, trapping, adsorption, extraction, and purification methods for liquid-metal systems.
• Design and develop heat exchangers for high-temperature liquid-metal systems.
• Work on the conceptual development and experimental investigation of isotope separation systems and heat/mass-transfer equipment.
• Study hydrogen-isotope separation, recovery, purification, and handling for fusion applications.
• Perform data acquisition, experimental analysis, uncertainty analysis, and validation of experimental results.
• Use computational tools such as COMSOL, or equivalent software for modeling and analysis.

Desired Background

• B.Tech./B.E./M.Tech./M.E. in Chemical Engineering, Chemical Technology, Process Engineering, or a related field.
• Strong fundamentals in thermodynamics, heat transfer, mass transfer, fluid mechanics, separation processes, reaction engineering, and process design.
• Practical laboratory/research experience will be an advantage.
• Knowledge of liquid metals, molten salts, corrosion, isotope separation, hydrogen isotopes, or nuclear/fusion technologies is desirable.
• Good computational and data-analysis skills.
• Ability to independently perform experiments, analyze results, and troubleshoot experimental systems.
