Senior Engineer Process Development & Applications (mfd)

PFASuiki is setting the global standard for safe sustainable PFAS destruction. Through advanced electrochemical oxidation (ECO) we transform contaminated streams into non-hazardous outputs closing operational and liability gaps across multiple market verticals.

We are seeking a Senior Process Engineer to lead the integration of our ECO technology into scalable end-to-end wastewater solutions from concept to commercial deployment.

Tasks

Key Responsibilities

1. Process & Solution Development: Lead the design of end-to-end treatment trains (pre-treatment à core treatment à polishing). Design scalable water-treatment process configurations for leachate industrial wastewater and utilities. Define process envelopes mass/energy balances and performance models; optimise sequencing salinity solids and organics management to maximise ECO performance.
2. Feasibility Pilot & Scale-Up: Oversee experimental design parametric testing and benchmarking. Define pilot configurations and operating strategies that represent real-world conditions. Manage scale-up risks including hydraulics fouling mass transfer and electrode performance.
3. Technical Leadership & Governance: Mentor the technical team across process engineering and pilot execution. Establish engineering standards stage-gated development workflows and data reporting frameworks.
4. Safety & Industrialization: Ensure treatment solutions meet operational safety regulatory compliance and industrial deployment requirements. Support development of repeatable modular and scalable system designs suitable for commercial implementation and long-term operational reliability.

Requirements

Experience & Qualifications

• MSc (minimum) in Chemical Environmental or Water Engineering.
• 7-10 years in process engineering (Water/Wastewater or Industrial systems).
• Proven experience in process design and system integration scaling technologies from pilot to commercial deployment.
• Strong experience in complex treatment (landfill leachate high-strength industrial effluents).
• Demonstrated client-facing experience in technical delivery or solution development.

Core Technical Competencies

• Advanced process engineering and simulation reactor design and hydraulics.
• Working knowledge of biological physico-chemical and separation processes (Foam fractionation GAC IEX membranes etc.).
• Deep understanding of industrial wastewater challenges (salts COD ammonia metals etc.).

Benefits

What We Offer

• Impact: Solve a global environmental crisis with measurable results.
• Culture: Dynamic collaborative startup environment in Munich where your ideas shape the strategy.
• Package: Competitive fixed salary performance-based variable including public transport and lunch subsidies.
