Process Development Engineer – Electrochemical Carbon Capture Start-Up

Reports To: Head of R&D

About Us:

RepAir is a pioneering startup specializing in electrochemical CO₂ capture technology and is currently advancing into the scale-up phase. Our technology is designed for gigaton-scale impact, positioning RepAir at the forefront of the shift toward a carbon-negative future. Delivering a highly efficient, sustainable carbon removal solution, our fully electric process requires minimal energy, operates without solvents, and produces no hazardous waste. As a fast-growing company, we are seeking an experienced and visionary Physicist or Mechanical/Chemical/Process Engineer to develop and commercialize our electrochemical carbon capture technologies.

Position Overview:

In this role, you will be a key part of the team responsible for developing and scaling our electrochemical stacks, focusing primarily on experimentation and multi-physics/other simulations. You will work closely with a multidisciplinary team to test and refine system performance, optimize processes, and develop innovative methodologies for electrochemical CO₂ capture. Your work will be essential in translating lab-scale concepts into scalable, commercial technology.

Key Responsibilities:

·        Design, execute, and analyze experiments to advance electrochemical stack performance.

·        Develop and refine testing methodologies for evaluating materials, components, and system behavior.

·        Conduct simulations (e.g., electrical, mechanical, thermal, and flow) to optimize stack operation and inform experimental design.

·        Collaborate with engineers and scientists to bridge the gap between simulation and real-world performance.

·        Identify and implement improvements in system design, process efficiency, and scalability.

Qualifications:

Education:

·        BSc in Physics, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Process Engineering, or a related field – Must.

·        MSc/PhD – An advantage.

Experience & Skills:

·        Strong background in experimental design, data analysis, and problem-solving in a technical setting.

·        Proficiency in numerical modeling and multi-physics simulations (e.g., CFD, FEA, electrochemical modeling) – An advantage.

·        Experience in process optimization and scale-up of complex engineering systems – An advantage.

·        Hands-on approach with the ability to design and execute experiments in a laboratory or pilot setting.

·        Strong analytical thinking and ability to adapt to interdisciplinary challenges.

·        Experience with electrochemical systems (e.g., fuel cells, electrolyzers, batteries) – Strong Advantage.

·        Excellent teamwork and communication skills.

·        Can do attitude.
