Overnight Masters Chemical Engineering Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Idaho National Laboratory needs Process Scale-up Engineers to design and optimize chemical processes that drive innovation in nuclear energy solutions, national security applications, and advanced energy systems. You'll document designs to ensure conformance with requirements and standards, develop processes for separating liquid and gas components or generating electrical currents using controlled chemical reactions, and implement process controls using programming languages. Your responsibilities include preparing process flow diagrams and material balances, establishing design and operating parameters through simulations and hazards analysis, monitoring plant system conditions and operational performance, and participating in system design, fabrication, and testing for research and development programs. You'll develop physics-based mathematical models to support design verification, perform laboratory research to prove new principles, and identify research opportunities while contributing to technical teams and securing funding.

Essential Job Functions:

• Document design to ensure conformance with requirements and standards.
• Establish testing, inspection, and quality requirements.
• Ensure fabrication, construction, assembly, and procurement are done per design specifications.
• Develop processes for separating components of liquids and gases or generating electrical currents using controlled chemical processes.
• Develop and implement process controls and tracking mechanisms using programming.
• Prepare process flow diagrams and heat/material balances.
• Establish process design and operating parameters through simulations, hazards analysis, and testing.
• Monitor and evaluate plant system conditions and operational performance, recommend maintenance standards, and identify vendor data and replacement parts.
• Participate in system design, fabrication, and testing for research and development programs.
• Develop physics-based mathematical models to support and verify design.
• Perform laboratory research studies to prove new principles and concepts.
• Maintain familiarity with applicable codes and standards.
• Identify new research opportunities, contribute to technical teams, respond to research opportunities, and assist in securing funding for research activities.
