Water System Engineer

The Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) is developing a novel technology for water treatment that does not require physical filtration or sedimentation.​ The two-step process include: (1) induced precipitation of dissolved contaminants and/​or coagulation/​flocculation of suspended solids; and (2) hydrodynamic separation using purely fluidic principles.​ Advantages include: small foot print, low power, and no moving parts.​ This platform technology has been successfully tested against many diverse raw water samples.​ Current focus is on migrating this technology from research lab prototypes to scalable pilot systems for field testing.​ PARC has an opening for an experienced hydraulic engineer in water technology who is well-versed in materials compatibility, hydraulic design, component selection, mechanical fabrication, and assembly of pilot-scale water systems.​ Applicants must have 5-10 years experience in the water industry with: (1) in-depth familiarity of mechanical system components used in the water industry; (2) knowledge of materials compatibility; (3) capability to perform hydraulic design and to select, procure, and assemble system components; (4) hands-on skills in model shop fabrication; and (5) ability to work with CAD designs to interface with vendors.​ Experience in water chemistry is a plus.​ The successful candidate must also be enterprising, self-motivated, and energetic to fit with the project team.​
