Senior Technical Project Engineer

About the role

Auris Noble is a vertically integrated recovery and refining company that manages high-value critical and strategic materials generated by aerospace, defense, telecommunications, advanced manufacturing, and other industries. We develop science-driven solutions for recovering and upscaling complex and previously underserved material streams containing precious, refractory, rare earth, and strategic metals. Our capabilities span laboratory development, analytical chemistry, pilot operations, commercial-scale chemical processing, thermal treatment, metal recovery, and production of refined materials. Auris Noble operates multiple facilities and produces materials under an ISO 9001:2015 quality management system.

Provide senior technical integration and hands-on engineering leadership across multiple process, equipment, facility, and production workstreams. This role translates program objectives involving multiple unit operations into practical engineering requirements and helps technical teams move safely and efficiently from concept and pilot work through commissioning, qualification, and production release to full scale manufacturing. This position will lead one or more company growth programs involving facility expansion, process design and scale-up, equipment installation and commissioning, recovery and separation of complex critical material mixtures, and transition of new or improved processes into sustained production. Responsibilities are overarching and will evolve by project phase to include P&ID design, requirements development, vendor coordination, ES&H priorities, pilot trials, qualification, documentation, training, production support, and continuous improvement.

Responsibilities

• Lead or coordinate multidisciplinary engineering work involving multiple chemical processing, metal recovery, thermal operations, solids handling, filtration, utilities, and supporting plant systems.
• Translate process needs into functional, performance, equipment, utility, layout, materials-of-construction, instrumentation, and safety requirements.
• Develop and review process flow diagrams, piping and instrumentation information, layouts, equipment specifications, vendor proposals, calculations, and commissioning plans.
• Lead technical vendor evaluation
