Chemical Process Simulation Engineer

Destinare Services is looking for an experienced Chemical Process Simulation Engineer for a remote part-time contract opportunity with a global client.

The ideal candidate will have strong hands-on experience in first-principles chemical process simulation, process flowsheet modeling and process optimization.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and analyze chemical process simulation models.
• Perform first-principles process flowsheet modeling.
• Work on process optimization, thermodynamics, reaction engineering and process analysis.
• Develop and validate models for reactors, separation processes and energy systems.
• Troubleshoot simulation models and validate results using engineering fundamentals.
• Automate simulation and engineering workflows using Python.

Must-Have Requirements

• 5+ years of hands-on experience in chemical/process simulation
• PhD in Chemical Engineering, Process Engineering or related field
• Strong experience with first-principles process modeling
• Hands-on experience with at least one major process simulation platform such as:
• Aspen Plus
• Aspen HYSYS
• gPROMS
• DWSIM
• Strong knowledge of:
• Thermodynamics
• Mass & Energy Balance
• Reaction Engineering
• Process Optimization
• Heat Transfer
• Transport Phenomena

Preferred Skills

• Experience with additional simulation tools such as DWSIM, Cantera or CoolProp
• Distillation and separation processes
• Reactor design and kinetics
• Heat integration / Pinch Analysis
• Dynamic simulation
• Energy systems
• Python scripting
• Model validation and convergence troubleshooting

Important

We are particularly interested in expert simulation practitioners who have experience building and solving complex, non-trivial process models.

Candidates with only academic coursework or basic exposure to Aspen/software are not the target profile.

Contract Details
