Job Description

Chemical Process Engineer, Enzymatic Recycling Huminly, Inc. Company mission and culture The world of fashion is facing a major reckoning. Over 100 million tons of textiles go to waste each year, of which less than 1% goes back into new clothing. Existing recycling methods are unable to handle the heterogeneity of textile waste - until now. Huminly uses enzymes to enable infinite recycling of textiles. We’re hellbent on improving textile-to-textile recycling from less than 1% to over 90% in the next 4-5 years before taking on global plastic pollution more broadly over the next decade. Using just water, salt, and enzyme, we distill the different materials in textile waste and harness them to make brand-new clothes, over and over again. At Huminly, we can’t fathom how society’s single-use economy makes sense for future generations and can’t bear to witness Mother Earth get covered in textile and plastic waste. We’re recruiting passionate warriors who are ready to stand up for this planet. Your role at our company As an Chemical Process Engineer , you will help build Huminly’s first commercial-scale process for polyester-cotton textile recycling. This process will serve as the real-world testbed for our optimized enzymes. From closing mass balances in process simulations to getting your hands dirty connecting piping and reactor equipment, you will work closely with our process engineering team to scale our bench-scale process to commercial readiness. This hands-on role is perfect for the creative tinkerer: your day-to-day will involve sourcing and combining off-the-shelf equipment, measuring and calibrating critical process parameters, characterizing product specifications and purity, and designing and implementing upgrades to our recycling process at multi-ton scale. As a member of an early-stage company team, you will work alongside highly motivated teammates in a fast-paced, mission-driven work environment. The recycling process you help build will serve as the blueprint for the future of textile recycling and propel us on our journey to scale and impact. This role will be a great fit for you if you: Have a B.S. or higher degree in Chemical Engineering, Bioengineering or related field, or equivalent experience Are excited to close mass balances in process simulations Have thorough knowledge of heat and mass transport principles Know your way around typical unit processes used in chemical industry Have experience developing and scaling chemical processes to ton scale Can describe a number of projects where you’ve designed and built something yourself from ideation to completion Routinely leverage constrained resources to meet ambitious experimental timelines and producing quality results Prioritize speed and efficiency to build as fast as possible We offer competitive salary and equity compensation according to experience, along with medical, dental, and vision insurance coverage. Please note this role will require the ability to lift, carry, push, and assemble heavy objects as well as bend, squat, kneel, stand, reach above shoulder level, and move on hard surfaces for extended periods.
