You work closely with our technical team and take the process forward step by step towards industrial scale.

What we are looking for

• A Master's degree or higher in chemistry, chemical engineering or a related field
• - A solid understanding of process chemistry, including solvent extraction and electrolysis, and of safe handling of the chemicals involved
• - Experience in planning, writing up and managing technical projects
• - A structured and efficient way of working, with the ability to adapt when conditions change
• - The ability to find, negotiate and purchase the equipment and materials needed to carry out the job
• - Fluent English; Swedish is a merit

What we offer

A key role in a technically strong team with close ties to Chalmers, a high degree of ownership, and the opportunity to take a process from the lab to industrial scale.
