Your mission

Join us in pushing the boundaries of electrochemical CO₂ capture. You'll own the BPMED stack architecture end-to-end — from first-principles modelling through to novel system designs that redefine what our technology can do.

You'll combine deep theoretical understanding with hands-on engineering execution: building rigorous predictive models, identifying fundamental performance limits, and inventing your way past them. This is a role for someone who isn't satisfied with incremental improvement — you question the architecture itself and drive the innovations that make next-generation scale-up possible.

Key points
  • Own and advance first-principles BPMED stack models.
  • Conceive and execute original design innovations to push performance boundaries.
  • Turn experimental data into predictive tools that accelerate scale-up.
  • Lead key supplier and research institute partnerships.
  • Mentor and build a lean electrochemical engineering team.

Your profile

Skills & Experience

  • Master's or PhD in Chemical Engineering, Electrochemical Engineering, Applied Physics, or related field.
  • 5+ years in an industrial electrochemical environment (ED/BPMED, chlor-alkali, desalination, large-scale electrolysis).
  • Hands-on engineering experience taking designs from concept through to industrial-scale implementation.
  • Demonstrated track record of innovation — novel stack designs, process improvements, or performance breakthroughs in a real-world setting.
  • Experience working with hardware suppliers, research institutes, or industrial consortia.

Workstyle and culture

  • Thinks in systems and owns outcomes — not just tasks
  • Fast learner who quickly grasps complex topics and stays curious about the problem, not just the solution
  • Combines scientific rigour with pragmatic, hands-on, build-and-learn instincts
  • Authentic, reflective, and self-organised — brings structure without losing speed
  • Comfortable with ambiguity and effective at working across cross-functional teams
  • Clear and direct communicator with both technical and non-technical stakeholders, with strong active listening skills

Other

  • Valid Work Permit for Germany, or able to obtain one
  • Location: Industrial co-working space in Marzahn, Berlin, with our own industrial halls and pilot plant on-site

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
  • Subsidized BVG ticket
  • Laptop and your individual work set up
