Jobbeschreibung

You'll own the simulation and process development of our full DAC system — defining what needs to be tested, translating empirical findings into models, and turning those insights into robust scale-up decisions. Your work will lay the foundation for scaling and continuously improving our DAC technology. A rare opportunity to work at the frontier of climate-tech — with real ownership, real complexity, and real impact.

Key Points

• Own and develop the simulation suite across the full DAC process
• Create, validate, and continuously improve process models
• Supervise externally commissioned research and studies
• Bridge empirical lab‑scale results into scalable engineering designs

Your Profile

Skills & Experience

• 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

• Thinks in systems and owns outcomes — not just tasks
• Fast learner who quickly grasps complex topics and stays curious about the problem, not just the solution
• Combines scientific rigour with pragmatic, hands‑on, build-and‑learn instincts
• Authentic, reflective, and self‑organised — brings structure without losing speed
• Comfortable with ambiguity and effective at working across cross‑functional teams
• Clear and direct communicator with both technical and non‑technical stakeholders, with strong active listening skills

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

Additional Details

• 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.
