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).

• 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.

• Pioneers in Next-Gen-Plastics – help redesign plastics for a truly circular economy.

• Mission & Values – curiosity, transparency and responsibility guide us daily.

• Startup Mentality – flat hierarchies, agile work and regular workshops.

• Fast Growth – steep learning curves, regular growth talks and plenty of room to scale your role with the company.

• Well-being Perks – Hansefit membership and fresh fruit boost your overall health and well-being.

• Team Spirit – interdisciplinary crew that challenges norms, enjoys regular team events and drives real innovation.

• Leipzig Hub – thrive in an emerging tech hotspot.

• Code of Conduct – integrity, fairness and inclusivity are non-negotiable.

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: Plastics 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.
