Process Design Engineer

Position: Process Design Engineer (Flow Chemistry & Batch Process)

Location: Remote

Type: Contract with possible extension

Company: Bridge Health

About Us

Bridge BSS is delivering a cutting-edge, FDA-cGMP artemisinin manufacturing line combining continuous photochemistry, crystallization, and solvent recovery at industrial

scale. We are a global team supporting pharma innovation through process intensification, tech

transfer, and sustainable manufacturing solutions.

About the Role

We’re seeking a Process Design Engineer (Flow Chemistry & Batch Process) to support process design, simulation,

documentation, and commissioning efforts under the guidance of senior engineers.

This is a high-impact opportunity for a motivated early-career engineer to grow within a

globally distributed pharma project team.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and optimize flow chemistry and batch processes for scale-up and commercial manufacturing.
• Perform process design calculations (heat & mass balance, reaction kinetics, equipment sizing, pressure drop, mixing, and scale-up parameters).
• Prepare and review engineering deliverables such as: Block Flow Diagrams (BFDs), Process Flow Diagrams (PFDs), Piping & Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs).
• Support process safety assessments (HAZOP, risk analysis, safety studies).
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (process chemists, mechanical, instrumentation, and analytical teams) to ensure robust process design.
• Evaluate new technologies and propose innovative solutions for continuous manufacturing & flow chemistry applications.
• Provide process engineering support during pilot plant and commercial scale-up.
• Work with procurement & vendors for equipment selection and specification preparation.
• Ensure compliance with GMP, regulatory guidelines, and EHS standards in process design.

Qualifications & Skills

• Bachelor’s/Master’s degree in Chemical Engineering (or equivalent).
• 5–7 years of proven experience in process design engineering within the pharmaceutical/chemical industry.
• Hands-on expertise in flow chemistry and batch process design.
• Strong knowledge of process design tools and calculations (heat/mass transfer, reaction engineering, hydraulics).
• Experience in preparing and interpreting BFDs, PFDs, P&IDs.
• Proficiency in simulation software (e.g., Aspen Plus, ChemCAD, or equivalent) preferred.
• Strong problem-solving, analytical, and project management skills.
• Knowledge of process safety (HAZOP, LOPA, FMEA) is desirable.
