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.

Sounds like you? We are looking forward to meeting you! Send us your CV and Motivation Letter combined in a single PDF using the webpage of Unbound Potential!
