Your mission

Help turn aevoloop’s vision into reality 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 aevoloop’s path towards plastic materials for a circular economy.
• Execute batch polycondensation processes to synthesise aevoloop’s 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.
• You’re 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.
