Senior Development Engineer / Senior Development Engineeress

Your Mission

Collector Concepts Development: As part of the Concepts & Innovation team, you will invent, design, and develop new CO₂ collector system architectures that seamlessly integrate sorbent and process requirements into practical, manufacturable equipment.

Prototyping: You will take a hands-on approach to prototype and test your concepts and subsystems, guiding them from early proof of concept through to final acceptance testing. Your role will involve designing and executing experiments to validate concepts, troubleshoot issues, and optimize designs.

Cross-Functional Collaboration: You will work closely with our in-house sorbent and process experts, as well as system engineers, to align material and process properties with mechanical implementations. By developing a comprehensive understanding of sorbent and process performance, you will innovate new ways to incorporate them into collectors. You will also contribute to scaling from lab to pilot to industrial levels, ensuring a balance of performance, reliability, and CAPEX. Collaborating with the Industrialization team on detailed engineering, manufacturing, compliance, and scaling will create a robust feedback loop that transforms innovative concepts into market-ready equipment.

Stakeholder & Project Management: You will maintain stakeholder alignment by documenting designs, insights, and lessons learned, ensuring transparency and continuity throughout the project lifecycle.

Intellectual Property: You will keep a close watch on the industry's state of the art and actively contribute to generating new intellectual property.

Your Story

Requirements

• Education & Engineering Expertise: You hold a degree in Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Process Engineering, or a related field; an advanced degree is preferred. You have at least 5 years of experience in equipment development, ideally with systems involving steam, vacuum, and thermal management. You possess strong expertise in industrial equipment design, prototyping, and testing.
• Approach to Innovation: You have hands-on experience in building and validating lab-scale or pilot-scale hardware. A proven track record of innovation and rapid prototyping is essential, along with the ability to creatively solve engineering challenges under uncertainty.
• Technical Knowledge: You possess in-depth knowledge of detail design, design-for-manufacture, industrialization, and scaling hardware concepts from lab to industrial applications. Proficiency in CAD software (preferably SolidWorks) for designing parts and systems is required. Familiarity with the process industry, sorbents, adsorption/desorption processes, or thermal separation technologies is considered a plus.
• Mindset & Working Style: You are comfortable working in multidisciplinary teams, merging material science, process engineering, mechanical design, and industrialization. Strong communication skills and an entrepreneurial mindset, along with a fail-fast, learn-fast approach, are essential.
• Language: You are proficient in English, both spoken and written.
