Job Description
Are you ready to save the planet
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
Our goals are ambitious. We need people who are inspired and motivated to turn these aspirations into reality; to grow and develop with us.

How youll contribute
You will take responsibility in conceptualizing modeling and validating complex engineering processes that underpin our DAC systems. Your deep simulation knowledge and structured approach will be critical in designing robust scalable and efficient plants.
Specifically you will
Months 0-3
Specifically you will
- Design and validate system-level process simulations relevant to chemical and plant engineering.
- Develop models and refine them with real-world data.
- Evaluate and verify simulation outputs for plausibility and derive technical requirements together with the team of Process Engineers.
- Communicate findings effectively to stakeholders including management and non-technical audiences.
- Employ industrial-grade simulation tools (preferred Python) with a preference for AI-enhanced modeling.
- Apply your knowledge of AI to support automation pattern recognition or predictive modeling in process development.
Months 0-3
- Develop a deep understanding of Greenlytes DAC technology system architecture and engineering team workflows.
- Define Simulation environment with Process team.
- Begin reproducing baseline simulations from existing plant modules to understand critical parameters and identify gaps.
- Collaborate with Process Engineers to align on initial modeling objectives and key technical requirements.
- Integrate simulation outputs into broader engineering workflows to inform design decisions.
- Begin development of AI-supported extensions: parameter optimization anomaly detection or predictive behavior modeling.
- Coordinate with Process Engineers to derive actionable technical specifications based on simulation findings.
- Engage with management to highlight model implications for system performance scalability and risk.
- Expand automation within the simulation pipeline to reduce manual overhead and accelerate iteration.
- Deploy AI-enhanced tools for simulation-assisted decision making or real-time adjustments.
- Lead internal workshops to align cross-functional teams on how simulation insights drive design evolution.
- Contribute to roadmap discussions for simulation toolchain evolution and digital twin development.
About you
- Degree in chemical mechanical or process engineering or a related technical discipline.
- Demonstrated experience in process or simulation engineering ideally in an industrially relevant setting.
- Strong first-principles thinking with a hands-on approach to modelling and simulate engineering challenges.
- Proven ability to independently assess project feasibility plan simulation studies and validate outcomes.
- Connection to AI: experience in applying or integrating AI techniques in simulation or process optimization.
- Skilled in using advanced simulation tools relevant to industrial engineering.
- Strong communicator able to tailor technical content for decision-makers and cross-functional stakeholders.
- Fluent in English (German language skills not required).
What we offer
- 30 days vacation plus public holidays to ensure you also have the down time needed to rest and recharge.
- The possibility to grow and shape your role.
- Working with founders who understand - and invest time in - the importance of building a healthy and sustainable organization.
- Open and transparent communication on company development.
Noteworthy points
- 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.
About us
GCT was founded in September 2022 with the ambition to develop a low-cost robust Direct Air Capture technology that captures CO2 at world-leading energy rates whilst supplying hydrogen as a by-product. The companys technology is based on 15 years of research and has been proven at various scales. Since its founding the company raised 45-million Euros in funding from leading venture capitalists and renowned business angels.
