We will help prevent a climate crisis by freeing the world from fossil fuels. Our breakthrough direct air capture technology captures CO2 from the atmosphere and produces hydrogen in parallel.

The clock is ticking. What are you waiting for

Youll play a crucial role in our Hardware Engineering team implementing groundbreaking products and good design practice to how we streamline how we assemble and test these products.

• Design and develop parts and assemblies of the absorption and desorption units for our next generation DAC plants according to industry norms.
• Choose process components such as sensors valves pumps and vessels according to requirements.
• Translate P&ID subsystems into 3D CAD designs.
• Create floor plans of our next generation DAC plants.
• Design piping infrastructure according to industry norms (e.g. Pressure Equipment Directive Operational Safety Ordinance and Federal Emission Control Act)
• Rapidly iterate on process optimization and development testing in a fastpaced environment.
• Collaborate with interdisciplinary teams to ensure hardware integrates with the DAC plant and supports necessary process operations.

Heres what the first 12 months in the role could look like:

Months 03: Your initial focus will be on creating parts and assemblies of subunits of our plants. You will translate assembly BOMs into floor plans and design concepts. Youll connect and integrate components (e.g. pumps valves sensors) to ensure synchronization.

Months 36: You own the design of subassemblies and test stands and create 3D CAD models reflecting assembly maintenance and operating principles in line with plant engineering standards. The documentation of your work ensures a flawless handover to fabrication.

Months 612: During this phase youll take over technical responsibility of our DAC units absorption and desorption. Youll have the technical lead in your part of commercial projects.

Basic Qualifications
Completed studies in mechanical engineering or comparable qualification (e.g. technician / CAD designer B.Sc. M.Sc. PhD)

• You are a mechanical engineer with first experience in the field of plant engineering (Anlagenbau) or special machinery construction (Sondermaschinenbau) projects.
• Proficient in CAD particularly Autodesk Inventor ready to bring innovative designs to life.
• A problem solver with a handson mentality eager to lead projects from ideation to pilot production.
• Fluent in English with German skills being a significant advantage.
• Willing to occasionally travel and work onsite as needed with relocation support available.

• 30 days of vacation plus public holidays.
• Access to the latest work tools and technologies.
• A culture of mentorship and open communication where your ideas and contributions directly influence our direction and success.Are you tired of bureaucracy and slow decision making processes characterized by company politics and a managers private agenda Would you like to lose limitations in design freedom and instead have access to all production methods and innovations the market provides Then become part of a highly motivated design team with a strong problemsolving attitude and high development speed.
  

This role cannot be done fully remotely. We require someone who lives within commuting distance to Essen or is open to relocate which we are happy to support.
