Principal Process Engineer - Water

The Role: High-Velocity Water Architecture

VVater is disrupting the traditional water sector by replacing chemical-heavy legacy systems with high-speed electrical purification technology. As a Principal Process Engineer, you will be the primary technical architect for systems that eliminate contaminants like PFAS and microplastics. This is not a slow-moving utility role; you will be expected to design, model, and commission complex systems across municipal, industrial, and residential sectors at a pace that matches the speed of software development.

Engineering with an AI Edge

While you will utilize industry standards like GPS-X, BioWin, and AutoCAD, this position is uniquely designed for the modern developer-engineer. You will leverage AI tools such as Cursor and Claude to 'vibe-code' internal engineering scripts, automate design narratives, and maintain synchronization between digital twins and physical builds. By using natural language prompts to handle the technical boilerplate, you can focus on first-principles engineering and solving the most difficult challenges in electrochemical water treatment.

What You Bring to the Vibe

• Technical Mastery: A Professional Engineer (PE) license and a background in complex hydraulic profiles, mass balances, and P&ID development.
• Next-Gen Mentality: Proficiency in using LLMs to build custom tools that streamline engineering workflows and process simulations.
• Field Experience: A desire to move beyond the office to lead commissioning and site testing, ensuring your digital designs perform in the real world.
• Innovation Focus: Experience with modular systems, advanced oxidation, or membrane filtration, and a drive to compress the 36-month industry design cycle into a matter of months.
