Your mission
Help turn aevoloop’s vision into reality by driving hands-on polymer synthesis and process excellence in the lab.
* Plan, run and optimise lab scale experiments like polycondensation reactions as a crucial part of aevoloop’s path towards plastic materials for a circular economy.
* Execute batch polycondensation processes to synthesise aevoloop’s proprietary polyester-based polymers on a kg scale.
* Set up, clean and perform changeovers of polycondensation reactors and auxiliary equipment (strand granulation, thermostats and vacuum pumps) as well as preventive maintenance.
* Capture all process data, draft SOPs, and share know-how with engineering and manufacturing partners.
* Record, structure and analyse polymerisation data, translating findings into actionable optimisation proposals.
* Enforce strict safety, quality, and environmental standards (including ATEX and GLP/GMP where applicable).
Your profile
* Completed chemical technical apprenticeship (Chemical Technical Assistant, Chemical Technician) or B. Sc. or B. Eng. in chemistry, chemical engineering, polymer engineering, polymer chemistry or a related field. Additional training in process or plastics engineering would be advantageous.
* A solid foundation in organic polymer chemistry and hands-on experience with polycondensation.
* Familiarity with high-temperature /high-pressure reactors, vacuum systems, and related safety regulations.
* Demonstrated troubleshooting skills and a passion for experimental process optimisation.
* You’re fluent in English – German is a plus.
* You bring a hands-on mindset, structure your work efficiently, and collaborate seamlessly across disciplines – even under the dynamics of a fast-paced start-up environment.

About us
We are aevoloop: A fast-scaling deep-tech startup pioneering Next-Gen-Plastics. Contrary to common belief, plastics remain indispensable where no alternative exists, from critical medical devices to protective gear. That’s why we re-engineer polymers from the ground up, merging the advantages of classic plastics — high-performance and versatile — with a new era of sustainability: turning plastic waste into new materials that are fully circular and biodegradable.
Our mission is clear: Plastics are vital for a liveable future, so we develop next-generation materials that enable a truly circular economy. As we achieve new milestones and drive innovation, we continuously expand our team and expertise — giving you the chance to grow your career alongside our impact.
Our work is guided by five values: Pioneering, Conscientious, Disruptive, Transparent and Contributive. These drive us to unite the rigour of responsible research with playful innovation and to act as a trusted catalyst for sustainable material solutions.
