高级催化剂工程师

Are you an experienced catalyst engineer looking to make an impact in the hydrogen industry? Do you thrive in a hands-on environment where science meets engineering? At Catator, you'll have the opportunity to lead the development of advanced catalyst technologies that are accelerating the global transition to clean hydrogen.

About the role

We are looking for an experienced Senior Catalyst Engineer to become our technical expert in catalyst development and experimental testing. In this role, you will drive catalyst innovation from laboratory concept to industrial implementation, developing catalyst formulations, designing advanced test systems, and generating the experimental data that guides our product development.

You will work closely with our CTO, R&D team, manufacturing, and project organization while enjoying significant technical independence and the opportunity to influence the future direction of our catalyst portfolio.

Your responsibilities

As our Senior Catalyst Engineer, you will:

• Lead catalyst testing programs, including performance mapping, durability testing, accelerated ageing, poisoning studies, and failure investigations.
• Develop new catalyst formulations, coating technologies, and structured metallic catalyst solutions.
• Design, build, commission, and continuously improve catalyst test rigs, reactors, gas supply systems, and laboratory equipment.
• Develop automation, PLC control systems, data acquisition, and analytical methods for reliable testing.
• Developing kinetic models for our catalyst range from experimental data.
• Support the transfer of catalyst technologies from laboratory development to production.
• Contribute expert technical judgement while collaborating across multidisciplinary teams.

What we are looking for

You have at least five years of industrial or applied research experience in catalyst or reactor development and enjoy solving complex technical challenges through practical experimentation.

We are looking for a hands-on engineer with several years of industrial or applied research experience in catalyst or reactor development. You hold a master's degree in chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, Engineering Physics or a related field, while a PhD is considered an advantage.

You have extensive experience in experimental catalyst testing and a solid understanding of catalyst formulation, coating technologies and structured metallic catalysts. Experience from fuel reforming, catalytic combustion or similar catalytic processes is highly valued, as is the ability to design, build and operate experimental test rigs.

You are familiar with gas analysis, instrumentation and data acquisition, and have experience analysing experimental data and translating results into practical engineering solutions. Knowledge of process automation, PLC programming, CAD or mechanical design is considered an advantage.

As a person, you are analytical, practical and scientifically rigorous. You enjoy solving complex technical challenges, work independently when needed, and collaborate effectively with colleagues across multiple disciplines while maintaining a strong focus on laboratory safety.

Location

The role is based at our headquarters in Lund, Sweden.
