ESEBA is a deep tech startup from DTU developing a new kind of MDF board made entirely from 100% low quality textile waste, without any binders like formaldehyde, or stabilizers.

Recognized as one of Denmark’s top 10 climate startups, ESEBA partners with a state-of-the-art textile sorting facility and is piloting its solution with two of the country’s largest laminated tabletop manufacturers.

We’ve made strong progress, and now we’re looking for a Materials Scientist to help us take the material and process to the next level by addressing key development goals, including:

• Scaling up lab tests to produce boards at commercial dimensions

• Characterizing mechanical properties and performance

  You’ll play a key role in:

• Designing and running experiments on our pilot production line

• Developing the material to meet industrial lamination standards

• Collaborating closely with our CTO and CRO on process and material innovation

Who you are:

• You have a background in materials science or a related field

• You have experience with fibers, composites, or engineered board materials

• You work systematically, are curious, and thrive in a fast-paced, mission-driven environment

📍 Location: Lyngby

🔁 We offer:

• A role in a startup with real-world impact and global potential

• We're offering a salaried late co-founder role with performance-based equity via warrants, structured to assess mutual fit and contribution.

• Hands-on involvement in product and process development

• Influence on R&D direction
