Job Description

Summary Activities aimed at proving a concept to be valid or technically feasible by the application of scientific and engineering methodologies. Work in this family typically has the objective of demonstrating through test or analyses the performance and implementation potential of a concept

Impacts departmental operations and responsible for planning/execution. The role has some autonomy but is focused on execution of activities within an operating discipline covered by standard functional practices and procedures. Some judgment may be required but this is typically with guidance.



As a Research Engineer \xe2\x80\x93 Carbon Capture Systems, you will do hands-on work on technology programs in development and research of advanced carbon capture systems. You will work on concepts to integrate, improve performance and operability of various carbon capture systems. You will interact with technologists and engineers to deliver novel solutions for complex, multi-disciplinary problems in the broad area of decarbonization. This is a high impact and high visible role with tight deadlines requiring extremely quick turn-around times, often needing to work with limited inputs/data and huge opportunities for creativity and innovation.
