Careers at Plastilose

Help build disposables without plastic.

We are a small team at Biotech Campus Delft. Our cup is already being tested in a hospital.

How we work

Small team, big challenge.

  • Science with a purpose

    You work on a material that bacteria make and that is meant to replace plastic in hospitals.

  • Ownership from day one

    In a small team, everyone shapes the company. You see your choices in the product.

  • Fast, but careful

    We build at startup pace and do not cut corners on the science. What we claim has to be right.

  • All under one roof

    Lab, workshop and office sit together at Biotech Campus Delft. The pilot line will be in Delft too.

Who we are looking for

The team grows with the pilot line.

In the coming months we are building the pilot line in Delft and preparing our own first production line. So we are looking for people in these areas:

  • Bioprocess and process technology
  • Quality and regulatory affairs
  • Production and operations
  • Automation and machine building

There are no open vacancies right now. We will be looking for new people soon. In the meantime, send us an open application: we like hearing from people who want to help build Plastilose.

Internships and thesis projects

An internship here is not a side project.

You work on real research questions, together with the team. For example in these areas:

  • Microbiology

    Growing, measuring and understanding what the bacteria do.

  • Biomaterials

    Studying the structure and properties of the material.

  • Engineering

    Helping build equipment, sensors and the pilot line.

  • Product development

    Designing and testing for use on the ward and during the medication round.

Think you would fit in? Let us know.
