San Francisco, California, United States Ammobia Full time
Principal Process Engineer

About Ammobia
Ammobia is dedicated to transforming the ammonia sector. As a pioneering startup, we are advancing the Haber Bosch 2.0 process, which facilitates efficient and environmentally friendly ammonia production. Traditionally, ammonia manufacturing has been associated with significant pollution and a rigid operational framework. Our focus is on creating innovative physical regimes and plant designs that accommodate dynamic processes, particularly for ammonia generation from variable renewable energy sources. Clean ammonia is poised to play a crucial role in a decarbonized future, addressing challenges in sectors such as chemicals, fertilizers, and heavy-duty transportation. We are backed by prominent climate technology organizations, including Starlight Ventures, Collaborative Fund, and Third Derivative.

Position Overview
We are in search of a driven and inventive Process Engineer to spearhead the design, development, and enhancement of groundbreaking 'Haber Bosch 2.0' ammonia facilities. You will initiate projects from scratch and guide them through to startup, commissioning, and operational phases, incorporating insights from material and process advancements.

Your role will involve collaboration with a multidisciplinary engineering team to define and model our pilot and commercial-scale operations. You will be responsible for generating comprehensive mass and energy balances, creating equipment specifications, determining whether to construct or outsource, and overseeing the execution of your designs until they are operational.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Design, develop, and refine chemical processes through all phases of design (from conceptualization to commissioning).
  • Create process flow diagrams, heat and mass balances, P&IDs, control strategies, and process simulation models utilizing industry-standard software tools (such as Aspen Plus, HYSYS, or gPROMS).
  • Assemble an engineering team to support the detailed design of the pilot plant through to deployment, including internal hires, vendors, and external engineering partners.
  • Specify and procure plant components (including heat exchangers, condensers, valves, mass flow controllers) while ensuring commercial availability in the design.
  • Develop high-fidelity technoeconomic models and prepare project cost estimates.


Candidate Profile:
The ideal candidate is a detail-oriented chemical engineer with a systems mindset and a passion for developing new technologies. You thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative environment, favoring action and clear communication, and you operate with a high degree of autonomy and accountability.

Successful candidates should possess most of the following qualifications:
  • Over 10 years of experience in chemical process design and optimization, ideally within ammonia, specialty chemicals, petrochemicals, or similar fields.
  • In-depth knowledge of process simulation tools (such as Aspen, gPROMS, or similar) and programming languages (such as Python or MATLAB).
  • Proven experience in developing Basic Engineering Packages (BEPs) and/or FEED packages for projects in chemical, specialty chemical, or fuels processing.
  • Demonstrated expertise across all stages of chemical process design, from concept through design studies to commissioning and operation.
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills.
  • Strong understanding of process safety, including the ability to conduct hazard analyses, implement safety measures, and ensure compliance with relevant regulations.

Preferred Qualifications:
  • Experience in developing pilot or first-of-a-kind plants for innovative technologies, particularly in advancing FOAK technologies through FID and pilot operations.
  • Expertise in dynamic modeling of chemical processes.
  • Subject matter expertise in thermochemical reactors, heat exchangers, compressors, gas-gas separations, or related fields.

Company Culture:
We are a small, passionate team of scientists and engineers who value collaboration, accountability, rigorous debate, and rapid iteration. We prioritize career development, mutual feedback, and a vibrant working atmosphere.

The position is full-time. Compensation and job title will be aligned with experience.

Benefits:
  • Healthcare, dental, vision, and life insurance
  • 401k
  • Gym benefits
  • Team bonding activities
  • High-quality espresso drinks and latte art training
  • Generous time off policies
