Chief Process Development Engineer

工作目的
The Chief Process Development Engineer is an expert with extensive previous experience in the melt phase polycarbonate process technology. This person will provide technical process leadership to the Polycarbonate CoE regarding the PC process and how to master the PC melt phase process technology in both the bench-scale unit and the pilot-plant unit to ensure safe, reliable and efficient operation, generating operating window and developing transfer functions to deploy the technology on the commercial unit, delivering the required fit-for-purpose resin quality.
This position is responsible for demonstrating process improvements leveraging CSPC’s bench-scale unit and pilot plant unit and up-scale commercial opportunities. This position will help CSPC management assess and understand the PC process landscape, state-of-the-art melt-catalyst technologies, competitor SWOT, assess internal R&D funnel opportunities, patent literature, analysis and freedom to operate studies.
工作维度
Lead process technology efforts to improve the quality of polycarbonate resin, leveraging the internal infrastructure and resources; working seamlessly with all the interfaces and external parties.
工作职责
• Help ensure CSPC maximizes and internalizes learnings from the bench scale unit and pilot plant unit.
• Help plan and monitor day to day unit operation, support and lead process troubleshooting efforts and coordinate the resolution of technical process related issues within the pilot plant unit (includes mass and energy balances determinations, equipment performance assessments)
• Contribute via the CoE technical community by daily engagement with polymer and process chemists, the commercial site process technologists, process specialists, and CoE technology manager
• Lead scale-up issue identification and resolution from CSPC’s bench scale unit to CSPC’s pilot plant unit and then to first commercial unit.
• Lead process improvement opportunities in developing and optimizing the melt-phase process technology, including the ability to produce specialty grades.
• Spearhead in efforts towards OPEX savings, product quality improvements, waste reduction, throughput, energy savings and site wide initiatives.
• Lead in building relationships with Universities, Research Institutes and other Scientific Communities to promote sustainability and innovation
