About Nordic Bio-Graphite:

Nordic Bio-Graphite helps industries transition toward a net-zero future by supplying CO2-neutral graphite. Graphite is the largest component in EV batteries and a critical material for green steel production. However, traditional production methods emit up to 20 kg of CO2 per kg of graphite. Based on a patent-pending solution from research at KTH Sweden, we have developed the first process to produce fossil-free graphite from bio-based materials at scale. Within four years, NBG aims to prevent over 200,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions annually.


Job Summary:

We are seeking a skilled R&D Process Engineer to join our team in advancing the sustainable production of bio-graphite. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in materials science, chemical engineering, or mechanical engineering, preferably with specialized experience in biomass thermal conversion processes, such as pyrolysis or gasification, and a deep understanding of material characterization and gas analysis. This role is central to scaling our proprietary bio-graphite production process and refining its environmental and operational efficiencies.


Key Responsibilities:

  • Design, plan, and conduct experiments on biochar thermal conversion to optimize pyrolysis and gasification processes within our production of bio-graphite.
  • Conduct comprehensive material characterization and gas analysis to assess conversion efficiency, material properties, and quality of bio-graphite.
  • Collaborate closely with our research team to refine the catalytic process for transforming biochar into high-purity, carbon-negative graphite suitable for battery and industrial applications.
  • Utilize ASPEN or similar process modeling software for process optimization and scale-up studies, developing models to predict performance and validate process designs.
  • Lead the integration of process improvements from experimental findings to pre-pilot and pilot plant setups.
  • Maintain accurate records and documentation of experimental protocols, results, and analysis for reporting and patent application support.


Qualifications:

  • Master’s or Ph.D. in Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field.
  • Demonstrated experience with biomass thermal conversion processes such as pyrolysis, gasification, or similar methodologies, ideally in an industrial R&D setting.
  • Expertise in materials characterization techniques (e.g., BET, XRD, SEM) and gas analysis.
  • Knowledge of process modeling using ASPEN or similar software is a strong advantage.
  • Strong analytical skills with a data-driven approach to process improvement.
  • Excellent collaboration and communication skills for cross-functional work with internal teams and external partners.


Why Join Us?

At Nordic Bio-Graphite, you will be a crucial player in an early startup shaping the future of sustainable materials in high-impact industries. You will contribute to critical advancements in our green graphite production technology, working alongside industry-leading researchers and engineers. This role offers a unique opportunity to apply your expertise to a mission-driven company that addresses the global demand for sustainable, fossil-free graphite solutions.
