Fusion Fuel Cycles is building the foundation for the global fusion fuel supply chain—starting in Canada. Spun out from Canadian Nuclear Laboratories and Kyoto Fusioneering, FFC combines 70+ years of national lab expertise, private-sector execution, and Japanese engineering excellence to develop the systems and infrastructure needed to power fusion pilot plants and transform the energy landscape. If you’re energized by building from the ground up and want to play a meaningful role in bringing fusion energy to life – joinus.

The Process Engineering

Lead is a senior individual contributor responsible for the development, integration, and engineering oversight of process engineering activities. This role will provide engineering leadership for process engineering activities supporting FFC's fusion fuel cycle systems. You will own the development and integration of process designs and engineering deliverables while coordinating engineering activities across disciplines, suppliers, and project teams.

The role serves as the engineering authority for assigned systems and workstreams and is responsible for coordinating engineering activities, reviewing engineering deliverables, and ensuring process designs support successful fabrication, testing, commissioning, and operation. Lead development of process engineering deliverables including PFDs, P&IDs;, heat and material balances, process data sheets, equipment specifications, and design calculations, coordinating with technology experts in FFC. Own process engineering activities from basic design through commissioning.

Perform and review process equipment and line sizing calculations, including pressure drop calculation, conductance calculation, heat and material balance and chemical reaction kinetics calculation. Coordinate process engineering activities with mechanical, electrical,



controls, safety, and operations disciplines. Provide engineering guidance, mentoring, and day-to-day support to engineers and designers.

Review external vendor’s and subcontractor’s process related calculation. Support HAZOPs, design verification, and engineering risk assessments. Support commissioning and startup activities. Maintain process engineering documentation and support continuous improvement initiatives.

Support customer interactions and engineering discussions. Deliver process engineering work packages and engineering documentation. Ensure engineering quality, consistency, and traceability of engineering deliverables.

Maintain process engineering standards and support QMS requirements. Coordinate activities to meet project schedules and objectives. Support multidisciplinary integration and engineering decision-making.

Maintain compliance with applicable codes, standards, and regulatory requirements. Master’s degree in Chemical, Mechanical, Nuclear, or Process Engineering ~ Licensed Skilled Engineer (P.8+ years of process engineering experience in nuclear, energy, chemical, oil and gas, pharmaceutical, or other regulated industries. ~ Experience developing PFDs, P&IDs;, HAZOPs, HMBs, process data sheets, and equipment specifications. ~ Strong understanding of applicable engineering codes and standards. ~ Experience working within ISO 9001 quality management systems. ~ Demonstrated experience taking first-of-a-kind systems from concept through commissioning. Understanding of fabrication, testing, validation, and commissioning of system and equipment.

Familiarity with CSA N285, N299, ASME, B51, NBCC, and NFCC is considered an asset. Medical, dental and vision benefits. Competitive paid vacation and sick time. Accommodation is available for applicants with disabilities throughout the recruitment process.
