Chemical Technical Assistent (f/m/d) Synthesis & Analytics

Your missionJoin aevoloop, a deep-tech startup in Leipzig, where we are pioneering the next generation of circular plastics. We are looking for a hands-on CTA or Lab Technician who takes pride in lab excellence, excels at synthesis, and wants to take responsibility for both the "making" (synthesis) and the "measuring" (analytics) of next-generation materials.Synthesis & Scale-up: Perform synthesis (specifically polycondensation) onlab-scale to kg-scale. We will train you on our specific polymer systems, but you bring a solid synthetic chemistry foundation.Lab Routine & Excellence: You are the technical "heart" of the lab. You will be responsible for the setup, operation, and maintenance of glass apparatus, reactors, vacuum systems, and thermostats.Analytics & Testing: You take ownership of material characterization. This includes routine titration, material drying/processing, and thermal/mechanical testing (e.g., MFI, DSC and tensile testing).Precision & Documentation: You ensure our data is bulletproof. This involves regular calibration of analytical devices, maintaining detailed lab journals, and drafting clear SOPs.Safety & Organization: You maintain a safe, high-standard working environment (GLP), ensuring that equipment is always ready for the next run.Your profileEducation: Successfully 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. Practical lab experience is our priority, while academic degrees are considered, this is a hands-on technical role.Synthesis Experience: Solid experience in organic synthesis. Familiarity with polymers or high-temperature/high-pressure reactors is a significant advantage, if you don't have it yet, we are happy to train you.Technical Routine: You are "at home" in the lab. You are confident in titration, pH measurement, equipment calibration, and the troubleshooting of vacuum and heating systems.Analytical Interest: Ideally, you have experience (or a strong desire to learn) material testing methods like MFR (Melt Flow Rate), DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimetry), or mechanical testing.Mindset: You have a "maker" mentality. You are detail-oriented, reliable, and enjoy the dynamic, collaborative energy of a scaling startup.Languages: Working knowledge of English (sufficient for technical documentation and team communication). German is a plus but not a requirement.Why us?Real Impact: Help redesign plastics for a truly circular economy.Startup Mindset: Flat hierarchies, fast decisions and early responsibility as we scale.Team Culture: Join a team of curious minds that challenge each other, collaborate openly and celebrate progress together.Growth & Learning: Steep learning curves, regular feedback and room to grow with the company.Well-being Perks – Hansefit membership and fresh fruit boost your overall health and well-being.ContactReady to become an Aevoloopy?Apply directly or reach out if you have any questions about the role or working at aevoloop: join@aevoloop.com.About UsWe are aevoloop - a fast-scaling deep-tech startup pioneering next-generation plastics for a circular economy.
