Chemical Laboratory Assistant / Lab Technician (f/m/d) Analytics & Synthesis

<br><strong>Your mission</strong><p>Join aevoloop, a deep-tech startup in Leipzig, where we are pioneering the next generation of circular plastics. We are looking for a hands-on Chemical Technical Assistant (CTA) or Lab Technician who takes pride in their lab work. In this role, your primary focus will be on the precise "measuring" (analytics) of our materials, while reliably supporting the team with "making" (synthesis).<br><br><ul><li><strong>Analytics &amp; Characterization:</strong> You are the analytical core of our lab. You routinely perform instrumental and wet-chemical analyses to precisely characterisze our next-generation materials (e.g., NMR, IR spectroscopy, DSC, titrations).</li></ul><br><ul><li><strong>Synthesis Execution:</strong> You support syntheses (specifically polycondensations) on a bench and pilot scale, reliably and accurately executing reactions according to established standard operating procedures (SOPs).</li></ul><br><ul><li><strong>Daily Lab Routine &amp; Excellence:</strong> You ensure smooth lab operations. This includes preparing and maintaining glassware, sample preparation, material drying, and general lab organization.</li></ul><br><ul><li><strong>Precision &amp; Documentation:</strong> You ensure our measurement data is rock-solid. This includes regular calibration of analytical instruments, maintaining detailed lab journals, and assisting in drafting clear SOPs.</li></ul><br><ul><li><strong>Safety &amp; Organization:</strong> You maintain a safe, high-standard working environment (GLP) and ensure analytical equipment is always ready for the next run.</li></ul></p><br><strong>Your profile</strong><p><ul><li><strong>Education:</strong> Successfully completed vocational training as a CTA (Chemical Technical Assistant), Chemielaborant, or a similar technical background. Academic degrees or Techniker qualifications are considered, but this is a hands-on technical role where practical bench experience is our top priority.</li></ul><br><ul><li><strong>Analytical Expertise:</strong> Strong practical experience in general instrumental and wet-chemical analytics (especially NMR, IR, DSC, titration). Experience in specialized polymer testing (e.g., MFR/MFI, tensile testing) or prior experience in a plastics laboratory is a major plus!</li></ul><br><ul><li><strong>Synthesis Experience:</strong> Experience in carrying out organic syntheses safely according to protocol (SOPs). Specialized knowledge of polymers or reactors is advantageous, but not mandatory—we are happy to train you.</li></ul><br><ul><li><strong>Technical Routine:</strong> You feel "at home" in the lab. You are confident operating analytical instruments, preparing samples, and performing routine instrument calibrations.</li></ul><br><ul><li><strong>Mindset:</strong> You bring a "maker" mentality. You are detail-oriented, reliable, and enjoy the dynamic, collaborative energy of a scaling startup.</li></ul><br><ul><li><strong>Languages:</strong> Working knowledge of English (sufficient for technical documentation and day-to-day team communication) is required. German is a plus, but not necessary.</li></ul></p><br><strong>Why us?</strong><p><ul style="border:0px solid;font-family:Inter, '-apple-system', BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', 'Open Sans', 'system-ui', '-apple-system', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji';margin:8px 0px;padding:0px 0px 0px 24px;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-weight:400;text-transform:none;color:rgb(32,32,32);background-color:rgb(255,255,255);"><li style="border:0px solid;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;list-style-type:disc;margin:0px;font-size:14px;color:rgb(0,0,0);"><strong style="border:0px solid;font-family:inherit;font-weight:600;margin:0px;">Real Impact:</strong> Help redesign plastics for a truly circular economy.<br style="border:0px solid rgb(229,231,235);font-family:inherit;"><br style="border:0px solid rgb(229,231,235);font-family:inherit;"></li><li style="border:0px solid;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;list-style-type:disc;margin:0px;font-size:14px;color:rgb(0,0,0);"><strong style="border:0px solid;font-family:inherit;font-weight:600;margin:0px;">Startup Mindset:</strong> Flat hierarchies, fast decisions and early responsibility as we scale.<br style="border:0px solid rgb(229,231,235);font-family:inherit;"><br style="border:0px solid rgb(229,231,235);font-family:inherit;"></li><li style="border:0px solid;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;list-style-type:disc;margin:0px;font-size:14px;color:rgb(0,0,0);"><strong style="border:0px solid;font-family:inherit;font-weight:600;margin:0px;">Team Culture:</strong> Join a team of curious minds that challenge each other, collaborate openly and celebrate progress together.<br style="border:0px solid rgb(229,231,235);font-family:inherit;"><br style="border:0px solid rgb(229,231,235);font-family:inherit;"></li><li style="border:0px solid;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;list-style-type:disc;margin:0px;font-size:14px;color:rgb(0,0,0);"><strong style="border:0px solid;font-family:inherit;font-weight:600;margin:0px;">Growth &amp; Learning:</strong> Steep learning curves, regular feedback and room to grow with the company.<br style="border:0px solid rgb(229,231,235);font-family:inherit;"><br style="border:0px solid rgb(229,231,235);font-family:inherit;"></li><li style="border:0px solid;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;list-style-type:disc;margin:0px;font-size:14px;color:rgb(0,0,0);"><strong style="border:0px solid;font-family:inherit;font-weight:600;margin:0px;">Well-being Perks</strong> – Hansefit membership and fresh snacks and beverages your overall health and well-being.</li></ul></p><br><strong>Contact</strong><p><strong style="border:0px solid;font-family:Inter, '-apple-system', BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', 'Open Sans', 'system-ui', '-apple-system', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji';font-weight:600;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;text-transform:none;margin:0px;color:rgb(32,32,32);background-color:rgb(255,255,255);"><span style="border:0px solid;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;margin:0px;font-size:14px;color:rgb(0,0,0);">Ready to become an aevoloopy?</span></strong><span style="border:0px solid;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-weight:400;text-transform:none;margin:0px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);color:rgb(0,0,0);"><br style="border:0px solid;font-family:inherit;margin:0px;">Apply directly or reach out if you have any questions about the role or working at aevoloop:</span><span style="border:0px solid;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-weight:400;text-transform:none;margin:0px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);color:rgb(0,0,0);"> <a style="border:0px solid;font-family:inherit;text-decoration:underline;color:inherit;font-weight:500;margin:0px;" ----------<p>Find more <a href="https://www.arbeitnow.com/english-speaking-jobs">English Speaking Jobs in Germany</a> on Arbeitnow</a>
