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: P

lastics 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.
