Your Role at Cabot

Provide technical leadership to and work with a team of engineers in the execution of mechanical equipment design for small and large capital projects. Can lead engineers working on Engineering regional-scale projects or engineers working at local-level Manufacturing capital or retrofit projects.

How You Will Make an Impact
• Provide expertise in mechanical process equipment design and selection, CFD modeling, solids/powder/dispersion conveying, dosing, and handling.
• Interact with R&D, manufacturing organization and production plants to scale-up and/or develop processing equipment
• Provide mechanical engineering support to variety of small to large capital projects and plant sustaining activities
• Review mechanical and structural design, ASME pressure vessel calculations and equipment fabrication methods
• Facilitate and/or support improvement projects, maintenance projects, and aid in process troubleshooting
• Provide technical guidance and troubleshooting equipment, and instrumentation and controls problems
• Lead and work with process/instrumentation engineers to investigate and develop new equipment and technologies to improve production and control processes
• Support cost estimates of Capex and Opex
• Participate in the evaluation and selection of mechanical process equipment, external engineering firms and vendors
• Work on cost reduction projects and collaborate with procurement to ensure good supply assurance (reliable flow of raw material supply through the production cycle)
• Support plant manufacturing operations as needed by providing technical expertise
• Lead/support Process Hazard Analysis for new and existing equipment
• Develop and implement quality, safety, and process improvements

What You Will Bring to Cabot
• Strong knowledge in batch and continuous solid/gas reactors design (fluid bed, moving bed reactor, rotating kiln, agitator, etc.) is required
• Experience in two phase (solid/particulate) Computational Fluid Dynamic Modeling is highly desired
• Strong knowledge with carbon nano technologies and battery materials manufacturing is a plus
• Experience with wet milling technologies, including media milling, bead milling, high shear dispersion and homogenizing
• Solid knowledge solids transport methods (pneumatic and mechanical conveying, storage silo design) is preferred
• Experience with scaling up and commercializing emerging chemical process technologies is a plus
• Strong engineering execution knowledge and experience to lead technical developments in cross-functional teams. Self-starter; excellent management and organizational skills
• Self-sufficient. Works independently on a regular basis based on the tasks and responsibilities required for the technical development execution of early phase capital projects.
• Demonstrates solid ability to recognize and recommend new or improved techniques and processes
• Ability to formulate and present ideas in a convincing and persuasive manner; give technical advice.
• May require regional or international travel
• MS or Ph.D in Mechanical, Civil or Structural Engineering, or related discipline with 10+ years of related experience
• Strong experience in capital 6-phase development process
• Experience of working with FEED/EPC/EPCm firms is desired
