Snr Chemical Engineer

Your mission

You'll own the simulation and process development of our full DAC system — defining what needs to be tested, translating empirical findings into models, and turning those insights into robust scale-up decisions. Your work will lay the foundation for scaling and continuously improving our DAC technology.

Key points

• Own and develop the simulation suite across the full DAC process
• Create, validate, and continuously improve process models
• Supervise externally commissioned research and studies
• Bridge empirical lab-scale results into scalable engineering designs
