Vor 3 Tagen

Garching bei München, Deutschland Radical Dot Vollzeit

Radical Dot is hiring a Head of Scale-up (m/w/o) to lead the development and scale-up of our cutting-edge technology for converting mixed plastic waste into high-value chemical building blocks. Moving beyond traditional methods like pyrolysis and gasification, we are pioneering a sustainable and cost-efficient solution for the chemical industry.
As an early-stage start-up, we are looking for a hands-on and adaptable leader who thrives in a dynamic environment. You will play a critical role in leading the charge for our upcoming demonstration plant (100-200 kg/day input plastic), contributing directly to the success of our mission to address the global plastics crisis.
Tasks
- Leading the scale-up of our lab technology to a demonstration unit capable of processing ~100-200 kg of plastic waste per day 24/7, which includes the following activities
- Performing detail engineering and process integration
- Completing procurement and designing equipment specifications
- Building and assembling of the demonstration unit
- Optimization of the demonstration unit
- Ensuring safe and efficient operations
- Refining chemical engineering designs to enhance process understanding and inform strategic decisions.
- Engagement, setup and maintenance of key industry collaborations and partners including exploring options for new partnerships.
- Building and mentoring a team of outstanding chemical engineers. We have ambitious growth plans over the next 3 years, and we would hope to grow an engineering team of at least 5-10 people by then.
- Leading or supporting advanced process modeling using Aspen and/or reactor fluid dynamic tools to optimize process efficiency and performance.
- Engaging in some practical pilot construction work in the first 2 years, facilitating a transition to a more managing and strategic role over time.
- Working closely with the rest of the Engineering and Science team in a collaborative “one-team” mindset.

**Requirements**:

- 5 years of experience in chemical engineering including industry experience (chemical or petrochemical industry). Experience in a start-up environment is a plus.
- Team leadership including experience with supervising and growing a team of chemical engineers, mentoring and developping them.
- Proven track record in process scale-up from lab to industrial scale, including detail engineering and reactor design, both from a technical and project management stand point (e.g., budgeting and timelines). Experience in system scale up may include scaling of reactors/reactions, separation, or distillation units in the chemical industry.
- Problem anticipation and creative problem-solving skills.
- Ability to navigate scaling parameter and quantitative determination such as mass transport, rheology/viscosity, kinetics, filtration, distillation, recrystallisation.
- Familiarity in process modeling and simulation (e.g., Aspen Plus or equivalent tools) and reactor fluid dynamics is required. Strong expertise is a plus.
- Familiarity with chemical recycling, high-pressure reactions, or corrosive environments is an advantage.
- Experience with bubble column reactors would be a strong advantage.
- Proficiency in English is required, German is a plus.

**Benefits**:

- Sport membership
- Travel expenses compensation
