Your mission
Join aevoloop one of Europes fast-scaling deep-tech startups and help build pioneering next-generation plastics by driving hands-on polymer synthesis and process excellence in the lab.
Plan run and optimise lab scale experiments like polycondensation reactions as a crucial part of aevoloops path towards plastic materials for a circular economy.
Execute batch polycondensation processes to synthesise aevoloops proprietary polyester-based polymers on a kg scale.
Set up clean and perform changeovers of polycondensation reactors and auxiliary equipment (strand granulation thermostats and vacuum pumps) as well as preventive maintenance.
Capture all process data draft SOPs and share know-how with engineering and manufacturing partners.
Record structure and analyse polymerisation data translating findings into actionable optimisation proposals.
Enforce strict safety quality and environmental standards (including ATEX and GLP / GMP where applicable).
Your profile
Completed chemical technical apprenticeship (Chemical Technical Assistant Chemical Technician) or B. Sc. or B. Eng. in chemistry chemical engineering polymer engineering polymer chemistry or a related field. Additional training in process or plastics engineering would be advantageous.
A solid foundation in organic polymer chemistry and hands-on experience with polycondensation.
Familiarity with high-temperature / high-pressure reactors vacuum systems and related safety regulations.
Demonstrated troubleshooting skills and a passion for experimental process optimisation.
Youre fluent in English German is a plus.
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.
