Principal Process Technology Engineer - Carbon Capture - Bloom Energy
Software Engineer
Lead the design and scale‑up of carbon capture processes for solid oxide electrolyzer systems, driving technology development, performance optimization, and integration with clean energy solutions.
About the role
Key Responsibilities
- Lead the end‑to‑end development of carbon capture processes for solid oxide electrolyzer (SOEC) technology, from concept through pilot‑scale demonstration.
- Design, model, and optimize thermochemical cycles, heat integration, and mass‑balance flows using process simulation tools such as Aspen HYSYS.
- Collaborate with cross‑functional teams—materials, electrochemistry, controls, and product engineering—to ensure seamless integration of capture systems with fuel cell and electrolyzer platforms.
- Develop and execute experimental test plans, analyze data, and translate findings into robust process specifications and design criteria.
- Provide technical leadership, mentor junior engineers, and contribute to intellectual property generation and technical publications.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s or higher in Chemical, Mechanical, or Materials Engineering with 10+ years of experience in process design, preferably in carbon capture or high‑temperature electrochemical systems.
- Proficiency in process simulation (Aspen HYSYS, CHEMCAD, or similar) and strong analytical skills; programming experience in Python or MATLAB is a plus.
- Demonstrated expertise in thermodynamic analysis, heat integration, and scale‑up of high‑temperature processes.
- Hands‑on experience with solid oxide fuel cells/electrolyzers or related high‑temperature electrochemical devices.
- Excellent problem‑solving, communication, and leadership abilities to drive cross‑disciplinary projects.
