Ideal Candidate The ideal candidate is a systems thinker who is equally comfortable in the details. You can understand the overall objectives of a complex facility while also getting into the weeds of an equipment specification, vendor packages, or P&ID. You are comfortable working with partner companies from the Owner's perspective- able to critically review engineering work, challenge assumptions, and ensure the final design meets the project's technical, operational, and commercial objectives. Experience with DLE or lithium processing is valuable, but direct DLE experience is not required. We are particularly interested in engineers who have demonstrated the ability to understand and execute projects involving complex process technologies. ** ## Description We are seeking a Systems Engineer to support the development and execution of capital projects featuring Lithios' Advanced Lithium Extraction (ALE). The ideal candidate has at least 5 years of engineering experience with a strong track record on complex projects. A Mechanical Engineering background is preferred, though other relevant engineering disciplines will be considered. As a member of the Engineering Team, you will work closely with EPC contractors, technology providers, vendors, and multidisciplinary engineering teams to ensure that projects are technically sound, well integrated, and executed to the required standards., + Lead systems engineering activities from concept and design through construction, commissioning, and startup. + Develop and review system and subsystem requirements, equipment specifications, datasheets, design criteria, and other technical documentation. + Maintain an understanding of the entire process flowsheet, including pre and post treatment of feedstock, extraction, water management, and reagents/utilities. + Serve as a key technical interface to EPCs, reviewing deliverables, challenging assumptions, and ensuring alignment with project requirements. + Coordinate across process, mechanical, electrical, controls, civil, and other engineering disciplines to ensure proper system integration. + Participate in design reviews, risk assessments, FATs, commissioning, and startup activities. + Provide technical leadership and mentorship to other project team members. ## Related Videos - [Remote Driving on Plant Grounds with State-of-the-Art Cloud Technologies](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/251-remote-driving-on-plant-grounds-with-state-of-the-art-cloud-technologies) - [AI Agents & Agentic AI](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2017-ai-agents-agentic-ai) - [Model Based Systems Engineering in an Agile Product Development Process](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/68-model-based-systems-engineering-in-an-agile-product-development-process) - [Breaking the Hardware Mindset: Overcoming Barriers to System-Level Innovation](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1635-breaking-the-hardware-mindset-overcoming-barriers-to-system-level-innovation) - [Physical AI: The Era of Intelligent Machines](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100141-physical-ai-the-era-of-intelligent-machines) - [Automated Driving - Why is it so hard to introduce](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/628-automated-driving-why-is-it-so-hard-to-introduce) ## Related Articles - [What is Software Engineering?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/289-what-is-software-engineering) - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [Is Software Engineering Hard?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/448-is-software-engineering-hard) - [Top Characteristics of a Software Engineer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/166-top-characteristics-of-a-software-engineer) - [From developer to manager – what does it take to become an engineering manager?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/42-from-developer-to-manager-what-does-it-take-to-become-an-engineering-manager)
