Air Joule is seeking a Senior Applications Engineer to join the application engineering team, which focuses on optimization of device performance, product design, and integration with customer sites. The role of the Senior Applications Engineer starts in the lab, where technical leadership is necessary to guide product development. After this, the engineer then transitions the technology into the real world. This role will be involved with controlling and optimizing the subsystems and components that make up Air Joule systems.

The engineer must be knowledgeable with respect to mass balance, process properties, and thermal management and is expected to guide experimentation to validate this. This assignment will be located at Air Joule’s headquarters in Newark, DE. The Applications Engineer should be familiar with complex chemical or mechanical systems, process control and automation, and models of chemical and mechanical systems.

• Drive forward applications of Air Joule system, especially working towards real world deployments
• Lead deployments of Air Joule systems at customer sites, including travel to customer sites, planning and coordination of deployment events, commissioning of said systems, and analysis of the resulting data.
• Lead efforts to design and implement supporting infrastructure for Air Joule prototypes, such as power sources, heat exchangers, communications systems, and transportation containers.
• Coordinate efforts between the Applications Engineering and Design Engineering teams in order to optimize Air Joule sorption systems. This will include optimization of geometry, sizing, flowpath, adsorption kinetics as it pertains to Air Joule adsorbent-coated heat exchangers.
• Work with the Applications Engineering Team to design testing campaigns with Design-of-Experiment methods, execute them with sufficient experimental rigor, compile and communicate results.
• Develop models/simulations for Air Joule systems, interactions with environments, and Air Joule adsorption subcomponents. Software such as ASPEN, Matlab, COMSOL, DWSIM, Solidworks, etc… may be utilized.
• Document experimental results in the form of PowerPoint presentations, technical report documents, standard operating procedures (SOPs), and electronic laboratory notebook (ELN) entries.
• Train new employees in the responsibilities listed herein and similar work.
