Senior Simulation Engineer

Your mission

Connecting our hardware to the cloud to monitor process performance and enable an exponential data-driven learning curve.

We’re seeking a skilled Senior Simulation Engineer to join our Berlin-based startup, focusing on process simulation, kinetics, and mass transfer in our electrochemical process. Collaborating closely with the engineering and development team, this involves reading P&IDs, calculating thermodynamic processes for our TEA, and exploring methods to improve process models, focusing on gas-liquid interface reactions and electrochemical separation processes.

Key Responsibilities

• Calculating thermodynamic processes, energy requirements, and mass & flow balances which feed directly into our TEA with Aspen/HYSYS.
• Comparing different methods for individual process steps, conducting equipment sizing and/or numerical simulations to obtain maximum flow velocities.
• Considering thermodynamics and kinetics to improve process models and digital twin of our industrial unit with COMSOL or Python.
• Focusing on gas-liquid interface reactions and electrochemical separation processes.
• Creating P&IDs with AutoCAD and aligning equipment choices with hardware engineering, IoT, and Chemical Process team.

Your Profile

Skills and Experience:

• University degree in Process Engineering, CFD Engineering, or related field.
• Proven experience (>5 years) in simulation of chemical processes and equipment improvement.
• Experience in design, construction, and/or operation of lab prototypes and pilot plants for R&D or industrial plants in related sectors to gas processing and liquefaction plants, air separation units, Direct Air Capture, etc.
• Experience with tools for process simulation, such as COMSOL, AutoCAD, Aspen HYSYS, or Ansys.
• Ideally worked in water treatment, battery design/production, or industries with gas-liquid interfaces combined with startup experience.

Workstyle and Culture

• Fast learning and quick to grasp complex topics.
• A team player with a hands-on mentality.
• Authentic and reflective self.
• Self-organizer and structured workstyle to keep focus and get things done.
• Good listener and effective communicator in cross-sectional teams.
• Curious and open-minded.

Other Requirements

• Valid work permit for Germany, or able to obtain a permit.
• Location: Exciting industrial co-working space in Mazahn where we have our own industrial halls to build.

Benefits

Perks:

• Employee stock options.
• Flexible working hours.
• Hybrid working.
• Regular team events.
• Subsidized BVG ticket.
• Laptop and your individual work setup.
