Fine Chemicals Specialist (f/m/d)

Your mission

Join aevoloop, one of Europe’s fast-scaling deep-tech startups, and help build pioneering next-generation plastics by developing scalable purification processes that transform sustainable chemistry into products.

• Develop scalable purification processes for innovative, sustainable chemical building blocks used as feedstock for our novel polyester-based plastics.
• Identify and evaluate suitable purification techniques through creative lab-scale experiments, exploiting the chemical and physical differences of the target molecules in the product mixture.
• Develop analytical methods to assess the properties and purity of the input and output streams to derive product specifications.
• Use purified products from lab-scale experiments to identify and evaluate new aevoloop product opportunities.
• Document your work thoroughly and make use of modern digital tools for maximum data efficiency.
  
  

Your profile
