Description:

Are you ready to save the planet?
We will help prevent a climate crisis by freeing the world from fossil fuels. Our breakthrough direct air capture technology captures CO2 from the atmosphere and produces hydrogen in parallel.
The clock is ticking. What are you waiting for?
Tasks
How you’ll contribute
You’ll play a crucial role in our Hardware Engineering team, bringing your deep experience in mechanical design to implement groundbreaking products and good design practice to how we streamline how we assemble and test these products.

Responsibilities

  • Own the design and development of the absorption and desorption units for our next generation DAC plants.
  • Choose process components such as sensors, valves, pumps and vessels according to requirements and translate P&ID’s into 3D CAD designs.
  • Design and develop parts and plant units according to industry norms.
  • Manage mechanical design projects, including initial factory ideation, machine commissioning and eventual hand-off to manufacturing or test engineering.
  • Design piping infrastructure according to industry norms (e.g. Pressure Equipment Directive, Operational Safety Ordinance and Federal Immission Control Act)
  • Rapidly iterate on process optimization and development testing in a fast-paced environment.
  • Collaborate with interdisciplinary teams to ensure hardware integrates with the DAC plant and supports necessary process operations.
  • Lead design reviews internally and externally with suppliers and customers.
  • Be responsible for project delivery timeline from early design through production, commissioning and maintenance.
  • Exemplify technical excellence and be accountable for your work.

Preferred Skills and Experience

  • You are an experienced engineer with extensive experience in the field of plant engineering (Anlagenbau) or special machinery construction (Sondermaschinenbau) projects, especially those involving liquid mediums.
  • You have successfully applied Pressure Equipment Directive, Operational Safety Ordinance and Federal Immission Control Act
  • Proficient in CAD, particularly Autodesk Inventor, ready to bring innovative designs to life.
  • A problem solver with a hands-on mentality, eager to lead projects from ideation to pilot production.
  • Fluent in English, with German skills being a significant advantage.
  • Willing to occasionally travel and work on-site as needed, with relocation support available

Responsibilities:

HERE’S WHAT THE FIRST 12 MONTHS IN THE ROLE COULD LOOK LIKE:

Months 0-3: Your initial focus will be on translating P&ID’s and top-level-BOM’s into floor plans and design concepts. You’ll select and integrate components (e.g. pumps, valves, sensors) to ensure synchronization and choose materials suited to our unique process conditions, collaborating with experts from component suppliers.
Months 3-6: You own the design of plant sub-assemblies and test stands and create 3D CAD models, reflecting assembly, maintenance, and operating principles in line with plant engineering standards. The documentation of your work ensures a flawless hand-over to fabrication.
Months 6-12: During this phase you’ll take over technical responsibility of commercial projects with a clear roadmap towards industrialization. You’ll tackle “scale-up” plant studies, engage with customers and investors, lead “design-to-manufacturing” projects for mission-critical components, and mentor a team of junior designers through rigorous and rapid design cycles.
Requirements
Basic Qualifications
Completed studies in mechanical engineering electromechanical engineering or comparable qualification (e.g. technician / CAD designer, B.Sc., M.Sc., PhD)

Preferred Skills and Experience

  • You are an experienced engineer with extensive experience in the field of plant engineering (Anlagenbau) or special machinery construction (Sondermaschinenbau) projects, especially those involving liquid mediums.

  • Fluent in English, with German skills being a significant advantage.
  • Willing to occasionally travel and work on-site as needed, with relocation support available.

Benefits

  • 30 days of vacation plus public holidays.
  • Access to the latest work tools and technologies.
  • A culture of mentorship and open communication, where your ideas and contributions directly influence our direction and success.

Are you tired of bureaucracy and slow decision making processes characterized by company politics and a manager’s private agenda? Would you like to lose limitations in design freedom and instead have access to all production methods and innovations the market provides? Then become part of a highly motivated design team with a strong problem-solving attitude and high development speed.
This role cannot be done fully remotely. We require someone who lives within commuting distance to Essen or is open to relocate which we are happy to support.
