Reaction Engineer ("ReaktionstechnikerIn")

at  DuDeChem GmbH

WHO WE ARE:

DUDE CHEM is a Green Chemistry startup with its origins in the German Cluster of Excellence in Catalysis at the University of Technology Berlin. We are a small but mighty team which is dedicated to fulfil our mission: Based on the 12 Principles of Green Chemistry we aim to build a green chemical-pharmaceutical industry. The industry currently consumes >13% of all fossil resources, most of them during the manufacturing. Our aim is to change this.
In order to achieve this goal, we have built a strong IP portfolio and validated the tech onto the market in order to reduce or reuse expensive resources in the production of chemicals and pharmaceuticals.
We believe that digitalization can be an integral tool for the implementation of greener, more sustainable production processes.
This is why we combine both scientific disciplines – digitalization and sustainability – in all of our projects. Over the last years, our team has proven that our approaches work and created hard competitive advantages in the core of the value chain of their customers.

SKILLS AND ATTITUDES THAT MIGHT BE HELPFUL:

• Degree (M.Sc., Dipl.-Ing or PhD) in chemical engineering, or a related engineering discipline.
• Knowledge in reaction engineering, especially reaction kinetics, reactor design, multi-phase reaction systems and thermodynamics.
• Experience in working in interdisciplinary teams, leading discussions with chemists and pushing for the joint solution on complex problems.
• Experience in planning, execution and evaluation of reaction kinetic experiments in the lab or kilo lab.
• Experience in scaling up reactions from the lab to the plant scale using state of the art modeling approaches.
• Experience in computational solving of complex Differential-Algebraic-Equation (DAE) Systems using sophisticated model parameter estimation approaches.
• Experience in Python or a similar programming language like MATLAB.
• Experience using modeling and simulation tools such as AspenPlus, gProms, DynoChem, IDEAS.
• Experience with optimization tools such as Pyomo, GAMS or AMPL.
• Good organizational and project as well as time management skills.
• Highly self-driven, professional personality with an aspiration to excel in the role.
