Senior Chemical Process Engineer

Modern Industrial Engineering at SSOE

In this Austin-based role, you will lead the charge in chemical process engineering by bridging the gap between heavy industrial design and cutting-edge AI. You will be responsible for overseeing projects from their earliest conceptual phases through to field construction, developing critical deliverables like P&IDs, PFDs, and complex process calculations. This is not just a desk job; you will coordinate with multi-discipline teams and perform onsite field work to ensure designs translate perfectly to the real world.

The Vibe Coding Edge

SSOE sets itself apart by treating AI as a core engineering tool rather than a novelty. You will have access to:

• AI & LLM Integration: Use advanced Large Language Models to streamline engineering studies and report writing.
• Vibe-Coding Platforms: Leverage natural language-driven tools to automate process calculations and coordinate technical specifications.
• Simulation Tech: Master traditional software like ChemCAD, Aspen, and Pipe Flo while using AI to accelerate data analysis and modeling workflows.

Growth and Qualifications

We are looking for a Senior Engineer with a Bachelor’s in Chemical Engineering and at least 10 years of experience in industrial settings such as chemical plants or food and beverage facilities. You should either hold a Professional Engineering (PE) license or be actively working toward one. With a salary range of $120,000 to $140,000 and a comprehensive benefits package, this role offers the opportunity to pioneer 'vibe coding' practices within the chemical engineering industry.
