MISSION
Solugen is building a 10,000 tpy first commercial plant with the potential to offset up to 37,000 tpy of carbon dioxide equivalents, with several potential future processes. This role will directly support Solugen's mission by developing novel processes at the benchtop scale, running pilot-scale experiments, and scaling successful processes to our 10,000 tpy plant. Reporting to the Pilot Plant Manager, this is a hands-on role where individual's initiative, engineering prowess, and energy level will make a substantial impact on the company's mission. This role is ideal both for an engineer interested in traditional petrochemicals processes, as well as potential alternative bioprocess (fermentative or enzymatic). Additionally, this individual will assist with process technology challenges such as equipment installation, commissioning, and troubleshooting, as needed. As the company grows and the individual progresses, the ideal candidate for this position can move up and laterally to different areas within the company including commercial plant operations, project engineering, and technical business development.
