About the Role
At C1 Green Chemicals, your models directly support process concepts that move from equations to pilot-scale reality, influencing real decisions and having a measurable impact on sustainable chemical process design.
Responsibilities
- Build and run steady-state and/or dynamic process simulations
- Integrate and adapt kinetic sub-models within existing simulation environments
- Support early-stage technical assessments of process concepts
- Assist with CAPEX/OPEX estimations using existing templates and assumptions
- Document assumptions, calculation paths and results clearly and reproducibly
- Develop small programming tools or scripts for data handling, analysis or reporting
- Collaborate closely with engineering and lab teams
Requirements
- Enrolled in a Master’s program (chemical engineering, process engineering or similar)
- Mandatory internship as required by study regulations
- Strong fundamentals in thermodynamics, reaction engineering/kinetics and separations
- Hands-on experience with process simulation software (e.g. Aspen Plus/HYSYS, gPROMS)
- Python skills (NumPy, Pandas, plotting, basic automation)
- Analytical mindset, structured documentation and strong ownership of tasks
- Experience with dynamic simulation or model simplification
- Exposure to pilot-scale or scale-up topics
- Advanced AI skills, e.g. machine learning for parameter estimation, surrogate models, AI-based optimization or automated analysis of large simulation datasets
- Curiosity to question models and assumptions

About the Company
- C1 Green Chemicals AG develops and scales new chemical processes from lab to pilot scale.
- Teams span catalysis, synthesis, engineering and technical operations.
- Simulation plays a key role in deciding which technologies are built, tested and scaled.
- We develop disruptive chemical production processes by rethinking them from the atomic level up to production scale.
- We explore new chemistries by employing quantum-chemical simulations and transfer them into proprietary production technology.
- We develop & scale our new technologies based on renewable feedstocks & energy.
- From the very first steps in development, we design processes to enable closed carbon loops.
- With our climate-friendly chemical technologies we support industries in their net zero journey.
- Our first disruption is the proprietary C1 methanol technology, unlocking green methanol production.
