Description

  • Develop and scale up aevoloop’s innovative process for upcycling plastic waste streams into the building blocks for our novel polyester-based plastics, targeting a 50 kg process.
  • Optimize and operate end-to-end gas-liquid / gas-solid processes, identifying the right reaction conditions for selectively obtaining aevoloop’s building blocks.
  • Collect process data, extract learnings, visualize findings, and report to the team.
  • Benchmark aevoloop’s process against state-of-the-art literature data and build a knowledge database on innovative plastic upcycling.
  • Drive innovation by contributing your chemical expertise into a team of seasoned chemists, chemical engineers, and technicians.
  • Prepare technical reports and contribute for patent applications.
  • Develop your own data extraction tools and use these to extract parameter trends and other valuable information from previously conducted experimental data.

  • Degree in Organic Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Process Engineering or a related field (PhD) with experience in gas-liquid processes. Industrial experience in this field is advantageous.
  • A solid understanding of organic chemistry, polymer chemistry, particularly polyolefins, including their applications, formulation, and behaviour.
  • Expertise in gasification and partial oxidation processes is advantageous.
  • Well-versed in organic redox chemistry, process development. Experience in process simulation, techno-economic analysis, HAZOP analysis, and mass and energy balancing is advantageous.
  • Excellent communication skills in English (written and spoken); German language skills are advantageous.
  • You bring a hands-on mindset, structure your work efficiently, and collaborate seamlessly across disciplines – even under the dynamics of a fast-paced start-up environment.

  • Pioneers in Next-Gen-Plastics – help redesign plastics for a truly circular economy.
  • Mission & Values – curiosity, transparency and responsibility guide us daily.
  • Startup Mentality – flat hierarchies, agile work and regular workshops.
  • Fast Growth – steep learning curves, regular growth talks and plenty of room to scale your role with the company.
  • Well-being Perks – Hansefit membership and fresh fruit boost your overall health and well-being.
  • Team Spirit – interdisciplinary crew that challenges norms, enjoys regular team events and drives real innovation.
  • Leipzig Hub – thrive in an emerging tech hotspot.
  • Code of Conduct– integrity, fairness and inclusivity are non-negotiable.
