Company

Sixone is at the forefront of revolutionizing the advanced recycling industry. Our mission is to integrate circular recycling for blended plastics to eliminate landfill waste. Sixone's cutting-edge technologies leverage reaction engineering and advanced analytics to enable high-efficiency recycling processes. Our goal is ambitious yet simple: to radically enhance the economics of recycled materials through innovative processing and materials technologies.

Role Overview:

We seek a chemical or mechanical engineer with strong technical skills, problem-solving ability, and technical execution. In this role, you will lead the hands-on development and testing of pilot-scale equipment to bridge the gap between laboratory and production data and ensure design validation. This role requires a technical and experimental mindset to build, test, and optimize processing equipment used in chemical processes. You will be expected to develop prototypes, conduct experiments, and analyze performance data to support process design improvements. If you enjoy building hardware in the lab, troubleshooting experimental setups, and scaling up technologies, this role is for you.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, build, and test pilot-scale processing equipment for chemical recycling
• Conduct experimental trials to gather performance data for process validation
• Analyze results and refine equipment design for process optimization
• Work closely with the technical team to integrate findings into process designs
• Communicate and maintain technical documentation of experiments and modifications
• Develop reports to ensure the success of the technology transfer
• Troubleshoot equipment issues and refine experimental setups as needed
• Foster a culture of accountability, innovation, and continuous improvement in technical execution.

What we are looking for

• 3+ years of process, mechanical, or chemical engineering, R&D, or hands-on prototyping
• Strong knowledge of chemical processing equipment, heat transfer, and materials handling
• Ability to decompose complex problems into actionable steps, applying risk management and intuition to develop novel solutions
• Independently establishes project goals and quantifiable outcomes, proactively analyzing and iterating to ensure ongoing success after formal project closure
• Experience in designing and setting up experimental rigs for process testing
• Hands-on ability to build, modify, and troubleshoot equipment
• Strong data analysis, communication, and documentation skills
• Experience in chemical recycling or materials processing is preferred
• Eligibility to work legally in Canada.
