The Founding Scientist will lead the chemistry programme to develop a recoverable process that selectively removes silica from hot geothermal brines, forming the scientific foundation for the company's first product and IP. Working closely with the founder CEO and a process engineer, the role involves translating lab results into continuous‑flow prototypes and pilot skids for deployment at geothermal power plants across Europe. This is a founding, on‑site position in a deep‑tech startup focused on unlocking stranded geothermal energy and critical minerals.
