Chemical Raw Materials Manufacturing

Radical Dot

1-10

Germany

Radical Dot is hiring a **Technology Expert (Process / Chemical Engineering) (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

*   Providing expert knowledge in the development of our technology, with a focus on our demonstration unit designed to process approximately 100–200 kg of plastic waste per day on a 24/7 basis. This includes:  


*   Leading advanced process modeling using **Aspen** and/or **reactor fluid dynamic tools** to enhance efficiency and performance.
*   Taking ownership of key technical challenges and driving problem-solving efforts.
*   Leading the configuration and design of the reactor system.
*   Supporting the optimization of the entire demonstration unit from end to end.
*   Contributing to safe, stable, and efficient operations at all times.

*   Refining chemical engineering designs to deepen process understanding and support strategic decision-making.
*   Initiating, establishing, and maintaining strategic industry collaborations and partnerships, including scouting and evaluating new opportunities.
*   Contributing to the mentorship and growth of a high-performing chemical engineering team. We aim to scale to a team of 5–10 engineers over the next 3 years.
*   Participating in hands-on pilot plant construction.
*   Collaborating closely with the broader Engineering and Science team in a unified, cross-functional “one-team” culture.

## Requirements

*   10 years of experience in chemical engineering including industry experience (chemical or petrochemical industry). Experience in a start-up environment is a plus.
*   Team leadership including experience with supervising and growing a team of chemical engineers, mentoring and developping them.
*   Proven track record in process scale-up from lab to industrial scale, including detail engineering and **reactor design, both from a technical and project management stand point (e.g., budgeting and timelines).** Experience in system scale up may include scaling of reactors/reactions, separation, or distillation units in the chemical industry.
*   Problem anticipation and creative problem-solving skills.
*   Ability to navigate scaling parameter and quantitative determination such as mass transport, rheology/viscosity, kinetics, filtration, distillation, recrystallisation.
*   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, oxidation chemistry, or corrosive environments is an advantage.
*   Proficiency in English is required, German is a plus.

## Benefits

*   Adhésion à un club de sport
*   Indemnisation des frais de voyage
