Senior Process Engineer

CO2 is a global problem. By fermenting it into carbon negative chemicals, we make it the solution.

We have figured out how to take the carbon outputs from industrial emitters, and use them as the inputs for chemical manufacturing. We’re not simply storing carbon away - we are turning it into valuable, emission-free green-chemicals.

If that doesn’t bubble your bioreactor, how about this: For every tonne of products we make, over 2 tonnes of carbon are removed from the atmosphere. We have raised over $50m to date from top venture capital investors as well as in grant funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 programme.

What you’ll do
We are looking for a Process Engineer to push the limits of gas fermentation and drive the implementation of our CCU technology. Together with our team of process engineers, you will be responsible for implementation and upscaling of our process, taking it from the lab to demonstration scale. Your work will be pivotal in making our process the go-to technology for green chemical manufacturing.

Responsibilities

• Develop robust, scalable processes for the conversion of CO2 into green chemicals, focusing on both upstream and downstream processes.
• Perform detailed techno-economic analysis to evaluate the viability and impact of process innovations.
• Lead the scale-up of fermentation technologies from lab to commercial scales as we speed towards the construction of our first-of-a-kind facility this year!

Job requirements
About you

• A degree in process engineering, chemical engineering, biotechnology or other relevant fields (MSc), including practical experience in developing and optimizing biological processes
• You have practical experience in process engineering; especially in drafting ideas, formalizing design, and managing the construction process of biotechnological equipment at commercial scales
• Strong competences within bioprocessing and a deep understanding of gas/liquid mass transfers,
  • Experience with gas fermentation (upstream) or liquid-liquid extractions (downstream) is a huge plus
• You are an unconventional and out-of-the-box thinker (which is essential, as we are doing things that haven’t been done before)
• You tackle chaos with critical urgency, wrangling it into clear and efficient workflows.
• You're unreasonably ambitious, moving with relentless grit to enable the impossible.
• 5+ years of process engineering experience in related jobs

What we promise you?

• You get to work with a group of passionate scientists, working on challenging and meaningful projects
• This will be the journey of a lifetime – we are serious about our mission to reduce over 1 gigaton of CO₂ and you can play a pivotal role in making that happen
• We live by our company values: Relentless Grit, Unreasonably Ambitious, Unconventional Thinking, Critical Urgency
• An inclusive, empowering and engaging work environment
• We understand that relocating can be a hassle, so if you don't live in Denmark, we will help out to give you a smooth transition
