Are you ready to make a change in the energy transition and have a positive impact on the climate? Join the Unbound Potential (UP) team, a Swiss startup founded in 2023 by a group of passionate engineers, chemists, and economists from ETH Zürich.
We envision a resilient electrified society, independent not only from fossil fuels, but also from critical mined materials, such as Lithium-ion or Vanadium. How can we reach that goal? By developing a disruptive innovative solution: a membrane-less redox flow battery that works exclusively with organic chemistry. Despite the name, our system is the simplest large-scale stationary energy storage you can imagine, usable by energy-intensive industries as well as energy utilities seeking cheap and sustainable energy storage solutions.
As a Process/Industrial Engineer in our Development Team, you will play a pivotal role in designing, manufacturing, and testing components for fluid handling in our redox flow battery system.
What you will do:
- Designing a full-scale process flow and key specifications for our pilot battery system (encompassing piping, tanks, pumps, flow control systems, etc.).
- Managing the manufacturing cycle, from identifying suppliers to validating delivered parts, ensuring alignment with system and project specifications.
- Documenting and continuously enhancing system design and outsourcing strategies.
- Collaborating with electrical and chemical engineers on system design.
- Planning, coordinating, and organizing the assembly and testing of the system.
- Representing UP at international conferences and relevant events.
What you will bring:
- Master’s degree (Uni/FH) in process/industrial/chemical/mechanical engineering or related field.
- Experience in designing and/or installing small-scale pilot plants, with direct experience in at least one of the following: designing process flows, designing and outsourcing part production.
- 3+ years of experience in a similar role in industry/start-up/industrial project.
- Experience in flow batteries or similar/related systems (desirable but not mandatory).
- Experienced in authoring processes, safety standards, and high-quality documentation.
You are:
- Motivated to work in a dynamic, high-performance, collaborative, young and fun start-up environment.
- Strongly interested in the climate-tech space.
- Independent and detail-oriented.
- Passionate about driving the renewable energy transition.
- Excellent team player.
- Fluent in English; knowledge of German is a plus.
