The world's largest and leading commercial fusion energy company. Backed by Khosla.
About the role
CFS is looking for a Staff Process Engineer with deep chemical engineering fundamentals and extensive experience scaling up, commissioning, and operating systems in large industrial facilities (e.g., power generation, LNG, petrochemicals, or cryogenics). You excel at navigating loosely-defined outcomes, translating fundamental requirements into practical industrial systems, and guiding complex designs from early concepts through Front-End Loading (FEL), detailed engineering, construction, and operation. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering (or closely related discipline)
- 10+ years of relevant industrial process engineering experience (potentially fewer if a PhD), or equivalent demonstrated depth of experience
- Demonstrated deep domain expertise (or broad expertise across domains) with a proven ability to independently own complex, semi-ambiguous work, seeking support only when needed
- Strong command of chemical engineering fundamentals and a proven track record taking systems through a structured FEL or phase-gated development process
- Experience scaling up loosely-defined process requirements into commercial-scale equipment and facilities
- Deep expertise developing core process engineering deliverables (design bases, PFDs, P&IDs, heat/material balances) and sizing/selecting industrial process equipment
