Redeem Solar Technologies is a startup from Graz, Austria.
At Redeem, we bring the most sustainable chemical discoveries to people to boost the quality of life for generations to come. We design and commercialize solar to chemicals solutions for the energy and chemical sector. Our innovative flow photo reactor can make green hydrogen and chemicals with the energy of sunlight using photocatalysis on scale!
This is an opportunity to come in at the ground level and help develop the product for an early-stage team innovating quickly at the intersection of the chemical and energy sectors. We are working to push the boundaries of what is possible in a rapidly evolving field. You’ll work with chemists, engineers, and business experts to build the products that will transform this space. You will have the opportunity to be rewarded with equity in addition to the monthly salary.
The ideal candidate will synthesize novel photocatalyst formylations and carry out the testing using flow photoreactors on several solar to chemicals applications. This individual will experimentally optimize the process conditions using analytics tools and make adjustments where necessary. Additionally, they will provide feedback on the reactor design to the engineering team and keep up to date with academic and industry literature.
