Jobbeschreibung

Are you ready to save the planet

We will help prevent a climate crisis by freeing the world from fossil fuels. Our breakthrough direct air capture (DAC) technology captures CO2 from the atmosphere and produces hydrogen in parallel. The clock is ticking. What are you waiting for

At Greenlyte Carbon Technologies we are scaling our DAC process and continuously evaluating how to make it more efficient cost-effective and compatible with renewable energy systems. As a Techno-Economic Analyst you will play a vital role in shaping the future of our technology by supporting detailed techno-economic assessments and exploring synergies between downstream syngas processes and our DAC systems.

How you'll contribute

Specifically you will...

• Support the development of comprehensive techno-economic analyses for DAC and syngas-related technologies.
• Conduct technical assessments of syngas downstream processes and identify integration opportunities with our DAC or syngas systems.
• Perform detailed cost breakdowns of subunits and components using scientific literature supplier data and industrial benchmarks.
• Analyze buffering concepts to evaluate how our technology can integrate directly with renewable energy sources via DC-DC coupling.

Your First 12 Months in the Role: Expectations and Deliverables

Months 03

• Develop a deep understanding of Greenlytes DAC and syngas technologies including system boundaries and key technical components.
• Gather and organize benchmark data from literature suppliers and industry reports for cost modeling.
• Begin assessing syngas downstream processes and identify integration opportunities with DAC or syngas units.
• Support early evaluations of buffering concepts for renewable energy integration via DC-DC coupling.

Months 36

• Deliver initial techno-economic breakdowns of key DAC and syngas subsystems including CAPEX and OPEX elements.
• Complete technical assessments of at least two syngas downstream pathways with integration feasibility summaries.
• Develop first-generation TEA models for DAC and syngas integration scenarios.
• Quantify performance and cost impacts of buffering strategies under variable renewable energy supply conditions.

Months 612

• Finalize a comprehensive TEA report comparing multiple DAC syngas configurations across deployment scales.
• Implement a modular updatable TEA framework for ongoing internal and external use.
• Recommend design optimizations based on techno-economic findings including system simplifications and cost reduction levers.
• Contribute to cross-functional planning by informing hardware and deployment strategies with TEA outputs.
• Begin mentoring newer team members in TEA methodology and integration strategy.

About you

You bring...

• A degree in chemical engineering process engineering energy systems or a related technical field.
• Experience in techno-economic or process modeling ideally in a chemical energy or clean-tech environment.
• Strong analytical and quantitative skills with the ability to interpret complex technical and economic data.
• Familiarity with cost estimation methodologies and sourcing supplier data.
• A collaborative mindset and the ability to communicate technical findings clearly to a diverse team.
• Proficiency in Excel and / or relevant modeling tools; Python or MATLAB is a plus.

What we offer

• 30 days of vacation plus public holidays.
• A steep learning curve and the opportunity to grow into more senior roles.
• An open culture with direct access to founders and cross-functional teams.
• Support for relocation if youre not yet based near Essen.
• The opportunity to work on one of the most pressing challenges of our time.
