Radical Dot is hiring a Scale-up/Process Engineer (m/w/o) to support the development and scale-up of our cutting-edge technology for converting mixed plastic waste into high-value chemical building blocks. Moving beyond traditional methods like pyrolysis and gasification, we are pioneering a sustainable and cost-efficient solution for the chemical industry.
As an early-stage start-up, we are looking for a hands-on and adaptable team member who thrives in a dynamic environment. You will play a critical role across modeling, process design, and detail engineering for our demonstration plant (100-200 kg/day input plastic), contributing directly to the success of our mission to address the global plastics crisis.
Tasks
- Supporting the scale-up of our lab technology to a demonstration unit capable of processing ~100-200 kg of plastic waste per day, which includes the following activities
-
Performing detail engineering and process integration
-
Completing procurement and designing equipment specifications
-
Building and assembling of the demonstration unit
-
Optimization of the demonstration unit
-
Ensuring safe and efficient operations
-
Leading or supporting advanced process modeling using Aspen and reactor fluid dynamic tools to optimize process efficiency and performance.

Requirements
- 3–5 years of experience in chemical or process engineering, including practical experience in the chemical or petrochemical industries.
- Proven track record in process scale-up, including detail engineering and reactor design.
- Strong understanding of key scaling parameters, including mass transport, rheology, kinetics, and distillation processes.
- Problem-solving skills with the ability to anticipate challenges and propose innovative solutions.
- Familiarity in process modeling and simulation (e.g., Aspen Plus or equivalent tools) and reactor fluid dynamics is required. Strong expertise is a plus.
- Familiarity with chemical recycling, high-pressure reactions, or corrosive environments is an advantage.
- Proficiency in English is required; German language skills are an advantage.
Benefits
- Adhésion à un club de sport
- Indemnisation des frais de voyage
