About the role

Newlight in San Francisco, CA is seeking a Lead Process Engineer to own the end-to-end ammonia/Methanol cracking process, from NH3 feed to engine-grade hydrogen. You will define performance targets, build process models, specify equipment, and translate system requirements into vendor-ready designs. The role suits a senior engineer who thrives on thermodynamics, gas systems, and turning flowsheets into deployable hardware, with on-site collaboration across disciplines.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
