Climeworks is seeking a Senior Development Engineer based in Opfikon, Zurich, to join their Concepts & Innovation team in the fight against climate change. In this hybrid role, you will lead the invention and design of next-generation CO? collector system architectures, bridging the gap between sorbent material science and practical, manufacturable industrial equipment. You will take a hands-on approach to prototyping from initial proof-of-concept to final acceptance testing while optimizing designs for thermal management, vacuum, and steam processes. The ideal candidate holds an advanced degree in Mechanical or Process Engineering and brings at least 5 years of experience in equipment development, with a proven track record of scaling hardware from lab to industrial scale.
CLIMEWORKS - Capturing CO2 from air
The TOP 100 Swiss Startup Ranking features the 100 most promising startups that are not older than five years and are selected by a jury of early-stage investors.
Venture Kick supports potential entrepreneurs with start capital up to CHF 150'000 as well as hands-on execution support and access to a nationwide network of investors and experts in the startup field. Multiple times per year, 8 selected projects get the opportunity to present their business ideas in front of a panel. The 5 most promising projects enter the support process. After 9 months at the latest, the startups incorporate and enter the market. Since 2007, Venture Kick has invested over CHF 58 million in over 1111 projects.
The venture leaders - the members of the Swiss national startup team- have a clear-cut goal. They envision themselves as global players and want to take the first step to their global expansion. The ten-day business development program is specifically structured to help them achieve this goal.
The awards gives public recognition to those researchers, engineers, professors, students and government officials in Europe who have done the most to foster a culture of enterprise on campus. This can be through taking the risk of launching a spinout company, developing a discovery into a marketable innovation (at the risk of the tenure-track publication record), or promoting policies that create a receptive environment for entrepreneurship on campus.
