Team Lead Design Engineering (f/m/d)

REPLOID is a pioneer in the circular bioeconomy: Through scalable upcycling solutions, organic residual materials are transformed - directly at the point of origin - into valuable new resources and market-ready products, for example for the animal feed and fertilizer industries. We create measurable added value and make a significant contribution to meeting growing sustainability requirements (Scope 3, CO₂ emissions, etc.).

#wearereploid - We think long-term and set new standards. To further drive our mission forward, we are looking for you. With us, your work has a visible impact.
