Your mission
- Establish and scale internal and external synthesis capabilities for innovative products from sustainable feedstocks on a kilogram scale (batch & continuous operation).
- Lead development projects with external service providers to create end-to-end processes for purifying complex product mixtures into pure chemicals.
- Define and align input and output streams (chemical & physical properties) and establish product specifications.
- Collaborate closely with upstream and downstream R&D teams as well as with the management team.
- Drive innovation by co-developing and implementing next-generation purification technologies to enable truly planet-proof plastics.
Your profile
- Degree in Organic Chemistry, Technical Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, or a related field.
- Several years of industrial experience in synthesis and/or purification of fine chemicals.
- Proven track record in project management and successful implementation of processes/syntheses.
- Ideally experienced with cGMP, ISO 9001, or equivalent quality systems.
- Hands-on mindset and a passion for developing and implementing new processes.
- Proficiency in analytical instrumentation and data interpretation.
- Excellent organizational skills.
- Self-driven and proactive work style, with a “get-it-done” attitude.
- True team player.
- Business-fluent English (negotiation level; C1/C2), German language skills (C1/C2) are an advantage.

About Us
We are aevoloop – pioneers in “Planet Proof Plastics”. Contrary to common belief, plastics remain indispensable where no alternative exists: from critical medical devices to protective equipment. At the same time, we redesign polymers at the molecular level—making them lightweight, robust, and cost-effective, yet sustainable, 100% circular, and biodegradable.
Our mission is clear: we believe that plastics are vital for a livable future. That’s why we develop next-generation materials for a genuine circular economy—Planet Proof Plastics.
Our work is guided by five values: Pioneering, Conscientious, Disruptive, Transparent, and Contributive. We combine the rigor of responsible research with playful innovation and act as a trusted catalyst for sustainable material solutions.
