Your mission Drive the design and scaling of our modular, renewable-energy-based direct air capture (DAC) technology to ensure robust and deployable systems. Manage and refine industrial operations, collaborate with cross-functional teams, address technical challenges, and ensure compliance with industry standards. Oversee process improvements, maintain documentation, and coordinate with external stakeholders to ensure successful deployment of our technology. Key Points: Lead the design and scaling of DAC technology for modular, renewable energy systems. Oversee the optimization and enhancement of industrial processes for reliability and performance. Collaborate with interdisciplinary teams in material science, electrochemistry, and modeling. Ensure adherence to industry standards, safety regulations, and compliance requirements. Manage process documentation, including P&IDs and technical reports. Coordinate with external engineering partners and stakeholders for successful project implementation. Your profile Skills and Experience Master’s degree or PhD in Chemical Engineering, Process Engineering, or a related field. >5 years in process engineering, with a focus on industrial-scale systems and electrochemical processes. Proficiency in designing and optimizing industrial processes, including P&IDs and process simulation tools. Strong understanding of electrochemical systems, industrial units, and regulatory standards. Demonstrated ability to lead complex projects effectively. Ideally when scaling from bench top to industrial size 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 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 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 set-up About us We are an early startup with a big vision - capture 0.5GT of global CO2 emissions from the air by 2035 through biotechnology, roughly the same weight as all humans on earth combined To meet our climate targets the reduction of CO2 emissions is not enough, the world actively has to capture billions of tons of CO2 from our atmosphere. To achieve that we at Ucaneo develop the world’s first biomimetic Direct Air Capture technology to remove CO2 from ambient air. We are a science and mission-driven team, fast-moving with a break-or-make attitude. Our office is located in the heart of Berlin, at Torstraße 110, lab in Buch, but we will move to Mazahn this summer to our industrial hall. Our commitment to you: Impact: You will work on the biggest problem of our time, climate change, with the potential to impact the lives of billions of people Day to day: Full responsibility to design your own workstream and control your working hours with a very high degree of freedom, flat hierarchy and teamwork Professional growth: Join a disruptive high-growth tech startup from day 1 and grow / lead a high-performing team
