Senior Engineer - Process Development & Applications (m/f/d)
Apply to this role<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<h2>Tasks</h2>
<p><strong>Key Responsibilities</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>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.</li>
<li>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.</li>
<li>Technical Leadership & Governance: Mentor the technical team across process engineering and pilot execution. Establish engineering standards, stage-gated development workflows, and data reporting frameworks.</li>
<li>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.</li>
</ol>
<h2>Requirements</h2>
<p><strong>Experience & Qualifications</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>MSc (minimum) in Chemical, Environmental, or Water Engineering.</li>
<li>7-10+ years in process engineering (Water/Wastewater or Industrial systems).</li>
<li>Proven experience in process design and system integration, scaling technologies from pilot to commercial deployment.</li>
<li>Strong experience in complex treatment (landfill leachate, high-strength industrial effluents).</li>
<li>Demonstrated client-facing experience in technical delivery or solution development.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Core Technical Competencies</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Advanced process engineering and simulation, reactor design, and hydraulics.</li>
<li>Working knowledge of biological, physico-chemical, and separation processes (Foam fractionation, GAC, IEX, membranes, etc.).</li>
<li>Deep understanding of industrial wastewater challenges (salts, COD, ammonia, metals, etc.).</li>
</ul>
<h2>Benefits</h2>
<p><strong>What We Offer</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Impact: Solve a global environmental crisis with measurable results.</li>
<li>Culture: Dynamic, collaborative startup environment in Munich where your ideas shape the strategy.</li>
<li>Package: Competitive fixed salary + performance-based variable, including public transport and lunch subsidies.</li>
</ul>
<p>Join our mission! If you are a passionate Process Engineer with the drive to make "forever chemicals" a problem of the past, we want to hear from you.</p>
