What role you will play in our team

 

Process chemistry development involves multiple aspects associated with identifying or improving new process chemistries and developing them into a commercial applications commensurate with the business strategy. New process chemistries can include active materials, chemical transformations, new feeds or products, or new unit operations/process configuration. The role of the process chemist is to identify, evaluate and develop process chemistry options and their effects on the process and then determine the critical steps for establishing commercial process readiness for the leading option. The process chemist will work closely with development engineers and may also aid in the execution of the scale-up of the technology by generating data as inputs for advanced modeling, conducting lab and pilot plant experimentation and scaling data to reduce technical risks needed to ensure successful commercialization.

Come be part of the team, with opportunities at our  Baytown, Texas , and Spring, Texas locations.

What you will do

 

Primary job functions include one or more of the following:

 

• Identify and screen new process chemistries to meet future business needs. Develop options to ensure advantage of technology based on understanding of ExxonMobil and industry wide strategic opportunities

• Create understanding of key process chemistry variables such as feedstocks, fouling, corrosion, contaminants additives, catalysts, product qualities, etc. that enable improvement of existing or novel processes

• Conduct process and catalyst development experiments at laboratory and pilot plant scale. Troubleshoot units and equipment.

• Assess how process chemistry variables will impact the process configuration

• Develop wet chemistry or pilot plant experimental plans for process chemistry focused research programs.

• Generate novel intellectual property concerning process chemistry variables

• Work with multidisciplinary team such as engineers, analytical chemists, modelers, product development scientists to maximize feasibility of novel processes and mitigate any critical risks via process chemistry solutions

• Influence and guide product specification 

• Originate novel patentable concepts, leading to the development of intellectual property assets

• Actively seek out and engage third parties where they provide competitive advantage as part of the development
