Process Engineer for Separation Systems
Join us in developing and operating our First-of-a-Kind (tFOAK) facility. You’ll design, test, and optimize key process units that define how efficiently our system captures CO₂.
You’ll work at the intersection of experimental development, process modeling, and system design, collaborating closely with internal simulation team and external partners. Expect a hands‑on environment with fast feedback loops, where your work directly shapes the next generation of DAC plants.
Responsibilities
- Design and optimize separation processes, focusing on gas–liquid behavior, flow dynamics, and water management using tools like AspenPlus and KGTower.
- Collaborate with internal and external simulation partners to define model requirements, validate CFD and process models with empirical data, and translate findings into practical engineering improvements.
- Design and operate experimental test systems to generate data, validate assumptions, and accelerate understanding of key separation and flow phenomena.
- Drive process engineering and documentation, including PFDs, P&IDs, valve and pipe sizing, safety reviews, and compliance with regulatory standards.
- Capture and share learnings through structured documentation and continuous benchmarking of emerging research and industrial best practices.
Qualifications
- Master’s degree or PhD in Chemical Engineering, Process Engineering, or related field.
- 5+ years of experience in process engineering, with a strong focus on separation technology or gas–liquid systems.
- Demonstrated experience in experimental design, process testing, and data analysis.
- Solid understanding of fluid dynamics, mass transfer, liquid distribution, and water management.
- Experience with AspenPlus, KGTower, or similar simulation tools.
- Familiarity with PFDs, P&IDs, H&MBs, and process safety documentation.
Workstyle and Culture
- Fast learning and quick to grasp complex topics.
- Team player with a hands‑on mentality.
- Authentic and reflective self.
- Self‑organizer who structures workstyle to keep focus and get things done.
- Good listener and effective communicator in cross‑sectional team.
- Curious and open‑minded.
Other
- Valid Work Permit for Germany, or able to obtain a permit.
- Location: Exiting industrial Co‑Working Space in Marzahn where we have our own industrial halls to build.
Benefits
- Unique experience contributing to a first‑of‑a‑kind climate‑tech project (tFOAK).
- A steep learning curve, exposure to cross‑functional challenges, and the ability to shape a project from the ground up.
- Fast‑paced, collaborative environment where your decisions have a real impact.
- Competitive compensation and personal growth opportunities.
- Employee stock options.
- Learning and development budget.
- Regular team events.
- Subsidised BVG ticket.
- Laptop and your individual work set up.
