TAL's take
High-specialization role in a deep-tech sector (space), though company is mid-tier/early stage.
Very clear expectations, technical requirements, and responsibilities centered on H2O2 catalysis development.
Must haves
- PhD in heterogeneous catalysis
- 2+ years experience in industrial catalyst development
- Strong background in reaction kinetics and surface chemistry
- Experience in precious metal-based catalyst development
- Proficiency in FMEA and RCA
Tools and skills
Nice to have: matlab, minitab, cosmol, dft, monte carlo.
About the company
Emerging space-tech startup; not a top-tier global or major Indian legacy engineering brand.
