Company Sixone's mission is to enable a world where blended plastics products can be circularly recycled back into existing supply chains instead of being sent to landfill. Sixone is developing technologies to enable advanced recycling of blended plastics and plastic-based products. The company's technology applies process digitalization and advanced analytics to build a depolymerization reactor tailored to enable efficient plastics recycling. The company aims to fundamentally change the economics behind current recycled materials through advanced processing and materials technologies. We seek a skilled and experienced engineer to lead our process engineering team to develop and scale up our chemical recycling technology. The ideal candidate will have a strong chemical and process engineering background and a proven track record of successful prototyping, scale up, project management, and team leadership. Lead and manage the reactor/process design and scale-up team, providing guidance, mentorship, and support to ensure project success Collaborate with leadership team to define project goals, deliverables, and timelines Conduct research and analyze data to validate process design and identify deficiencies Create and evaluate design concepts and make recommendations based on technical feasibility and cost-effectiveness Develop detailed specifications, including materials, instrumentation, and process control systems Manage external partnerships, including communication and collaboration with external engineering firms and vendors Oversee the testing and commissioning of the reactor, including safety protocols and compliance with regulatory requirements Continuously monitor and optimize the performance of the reactor, identifying areas for improvement and driving implementation of solutions Ensure project goals are achieved within budget and on time Bachelor's or Master's degree in Chemical Engineering, Process Engineering, or related field ~Strong understanding of chemical and physical sciences and their application to reactor design ~ Experience managing and leading engineering teams ~ Familiarity with safety protocols and regulatory requirements for reactor design and operation ~ Demonstrated ability to manage complex projects and meet deadlines ~
