Head of compliance Jobs in Moosinning

Radical Dot is hiring a Head of Scale-up (m / w / o) to lead the development and scale-up of our cutting-edge technology for converting mixed plastic waste into high-value chemical building blocks. Moving beyond traditional methods like pyrolysis and gasification, we are pioneering a sustainable and cost-efficient solution for the chemical industry.

As an early-stage start-up, we are looking for a hands-on and adaptable leader who thrives in a dynamic environment. You will play a critical role in leading the charge for our upcoming demonstration plant (100-200 kg / day input plastic), contributing directly to the success of our mission to address the global plastics crisis.

Tasks

• Leading the scale-up of our lab technology to a demonstration unit capable of processing ~100-200 kg of plastic waste per day 24 / 7, which includes the following activities

Performing detail engineering and process integration

Completing procurement and designing equipment specifications

Building and assembling of the demonstration unit

Optimization of the demonstration unit

Ensuring safe and efficient operations

Refining chemical engineering designs to enhance process understanding and inform strategic decisions.

Engagement, setup and maintenance of key industry collaborations and partners including exploring options for new partnerships.

Building and mentoring a team of outstanding chemical engineers. We have ambitious growth plans over the next 3 years, and we would hope to grow an engineering team of at least 5-10 people by then.

Leading or supporting advanced process modeling using Aspen and / or reactor fluid dynamic tools to optimize process efficiency and performance.

Engaging in some practical pilot construction work in the first 2 years, facilitating a transition to a more managing and strategic role over time.

Working closely with the rest of the Engineering and Science team in a collaborative “one-team” mindset.

Even if you don't meet every single qualification mentioned above, share with us why you believe you'd be an excellent match for this role in your application! Your unique skills and perspectives could be the perfect fit for our team.

Radical Dot is a climate-tech startup based in Munich, Germany, which was established in 2024, by Alex & Andi . Our technology transforms non-recyclable plastic waste into essential chemical building blocks (e.g., acetic acid).

We are hosted in the TU Munich Venture Labs ChemSPACE, where we validated our proof of concept, further improve the technology and take steps to scale up. We have submitted

our first patent application and run several reactor systems, putting us at approximately TRL 4.

We closed a 2.7m€ Pre-Seed round in Q1 2025 to scale the team and technology.
