Your mission

  • Lead a R&D & production team to develop a scalable purification process for innovative, sustainable building blocks to be used as feedstock for our novel polyester-based plastics.

  • Develop a strategy to work toward a 100+ kt/a world scale process, with appropriate steps to upscale from kg-lab scale to t-pilot scale, in order to reach a commercial kt-scale process.

  • Validate your strategy and ideas through laboratory-scale experiments to evaluate technologies.

  • Lead development projects with external service providers to create end-to-end processes for purifying complex product mixtures into pure fine chemicals.

  • Define and align input and output streams (chemical and physical properties) and establish product specifications.

  • Collaborate closely with the management team and the upstream and downstream R&D teams.

  • Drive innovation by co-developing and implementing next-generation purification technologies.

  • Prepare technical reports and patent applications.

  • Ensure that SHEQ and sustainability standards are upheld in all laboratory, pilot and production activities. This includes having knowledge of REACH/CLP, LCA, recycling and end-of-life strategies.



Your profile

  • Degree in Organic Chemistry, Technical Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, or a related field. Ideally, you have a PhD in this field.

  • Several years of industrial experience in synthesis and/or purification of fine chemicals.

  • Proven track record in project management and successful implementation of processes/syntheses.

  • Ideally experienced with cGMP, ISO 9001, or equivalent quality systems.

  • Proficiency in analytical instrumentation and data interpretation.

  • Excellent communication skills in English (written and spoken); German language skills are advantageous.

  • 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.

About us

We are aevoloop: A fast-scaling deep-tech startup pioneering Next-Gen-Plastics. Contrary to common belief, plastics remain indispensable where no alternative exists, from critical medical devices to protective gear. That's why we re-engineer polymers from the ground up, merging the advantages of classic plastics — high-performance and versatile — with a new era of sustainability: turning plastic waste into new materials that are fully circular and biodegradable.

Our mission is clear: Plastics are vital for a liveable future, so we develop next-generation materials that enable a truly circular economy. As we achieve new milestones and drive innovation, we continuously expand our team and expertise — giving you the chance to grow your career alongside our impact.

Our work is guided by five values: Pioneering, Conscientious, Disruptive, Transparent and Contributive. These drive us to unite the rigour of responsible research with playful innovation and to act as a trusted catalyst for sustainable material solutions.
