What are the responsibilities and job description for the Process Simulation Engineer position at GC-Squared Resources, LLC?
Contract Process Simulation Engineer (Aspen Plus)
Contract: 4–6 Months
About The Project
Our client is seeking an experienced Process Simulation Engineer to support an innovative R&D initiative focused on chemical composition modeling and process simulation. This is a hands-on engineering role where you'll develop and refine simulation models to evaluate complex chemical systems and support research efforts.
This opportunity is ideal for someone who has practical experience building and troubleshooting process simulations- not someone whose experience is limited to academic research.
Responsibilities
We're looking for an engineer who has actually built and used Aspen Plus models to solve real engineering problems. The ideal candidate enjoys troubleshooting complex process behavior, validating simulation results, and working closely with R&D teams to advance new technologies.
