Plant development Engineer

Festanstellung, Vollzeit · Berlin

Your mission
Be at the forefront of designing and scaling an innovative modular carbon removal technology that has the potential to revolutionize the industry. This role focuses on transitioning our process from TRL 4 to TRL 8 by designing and implementing our pilot plant and scaling it to a First-of-a-Kind (FOAK) facility, all while ensuring manufacturability, cost efficiency, and operational robustness.

Key Points: 
  • Pilot Design: Lead the design and implementation of a fully functional pilot plant within six months.
  • Scaling to FOAK: Design a 100 t p.a. (First-of-a-Kind) plant, ensuring cost efficiency, manufacturability, and deployment robustness.
  • Oversee process improvements, focusing on robustness and manufacturability.
  • Collaborate closely with interdisciplinary teams, including material scientists and electrochemists, for system integration.
  • Ensure compliance with safety regulations, industry standards, and environmental policies.
  • Manage process documentation, including technical drawings, reports, and simulations.
  • Work with external engineering firms and industry partners to achieve project milestones.

About us
We are an early startup with a big vision - remove 500 million tons of global CO2 emissions from the air by 2035 through Direct Air Capture, roughly the same weight as all humans on earth combined!

To meet our climate targets the reduction of CO2 emissions is not enough, the world actively has to remove billions of tons of CO2 from our atmosphere. To achieve that we at Ucaneo develop an innovative electrochemical Direct Air Capture technology mimicking the human lung to remove CO2 from ambient air.

We are a science and mission-driven team, fast-moving with a break-or-make attitude. Our office and industrial hall is located at Schwarze-Pumpe-Weg 16, 12681 Berlin including a large outdoor area to build one of the largest industrial DAC plants in Germany.

Our commitment to you:
  • Impact: You will work on the biggest problem of our time, climate change, with the potential to impact the lives of billions of people
  • Day to day: Full responsibility to design your own workstream and control your working hours with a very high degree of freedom, flat hierarchy and teamwork
  • Professional growth: Join a disruptive high-growth tech startup from day 1 and grow / lead a high-performing team
