Senior Mechanical Process Engineer

Modern Industrial Engineering

In this Austin-based leadership role, you will direct the lifecycle of industrial process projects, from the conceptual design of PFDs and P&IDs to on-site construction oversight. You will serve as a technical anchor for multi-disciplinary teams, ensuring that process deliverables for chemical and utility systems meet rigorous standards while pushing the boundaries of traditional mechanical engineering through technological innovation.

The Vibe Coding Edge

Unlike typical engineering firms, SSOE provides a tech stack designed for the future. You will have access to industry-leading LLMs and vibe-coding platforms, allowing you to use natural language to streamline complex workflows in programs like ChemCAD, Aspen, or Pipe Flo. The company actively encourages using AI as a primary tool for troubleshooting and automating engineering studies, providing the training necessary to master these modern methodologies.
