Process Engineer

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.
