• Support the development of comprehensive techno-economic analyses for DAC and syngas-related technologies.
• Conduct technical assessments of syngas downstream processes and identify integration opportunities with our DAC or syngas systems.
• Perform detailed cost breakdowns of subunits and components using scientific literature, supplier data, and industrial benchmarks.
• Analyze buffering concepts to evaluate how our technology can integrate directly with renewable energy sources via DC-DC coupling.

Your First 12 Months in the Role: Expectations and Deliverables

Months 0–3

• Develop a deep understanding of Greenlyte’s DAC and syngas technologies, including system boundaries and key technical components.

• Gather and organize benchmark data from literature, suppliers, and industry reports for cost modeling.

• Begin assessing syngas downstream processes and identify integration opportunities with DAC or syngas units.

• Support early evaluations of buffering concepts for renewable energy integration via DC-DC coupling.

Months 3–6

• Deliver initial techno-economic breakdowns of key DAC and syngas subsystems, including CAPEX and OPEX elements.

• Complete technical assessments of at least two syngas downstream pathways, with integration feasibility summaries.

• Develop first-generation TEA models for DAC and syngas integration scenarios.

• Quantify performance and cost impacts of buffering strategies under variable renewable energy supply conditions.

Months 6–12

• Finalize a comprehensive TEA report comparing multiple DAC + syngas configurations across deployment scales.

• Implement a modular, updatable TEA framework for ongoing internal and external use.

• Recommend design optimizations based on techno-economic findings, including system simplifications and cost reduction levers.

• Contribute to cross-functional planning by informing hardware and deployment strategies with TEA outputs.

• Begin mentoring newer team members in TEA methodology and integration strategy.

• A degree in chemical engineering, process engineering, energy systems, or a related technical field.
• Experience in techno-economic or process modeling, ideally in a chemical, energy, or clean-tech environment.
• Strong analytical and quantitative skills with the ability to interpret complex technical and economic data.
• Familiarity with cost estimation methodologies and sourcing supplier data.
• A collaborative mindset and the ability to communicate technical findings clearly to a diverse team.
• Proficiency in Excel and/or relevant modeling tools; Python or MATLAB is a plus.

• 30 days of vacation plus public holidays.
• A steep learning curve and the opportunity to grow into more senior roles.
• An open culture with direct access to founders and cross-functional teams.
• Support for relocation if you’re not yet based near Essen.
• The opportunity to work on one of the most pressing challenges of our time.
