About RBV AquaTech RBV AquaTech is an early-stage deep-tech startup based in Milan that turns low-grade waste heat into water. Our hygroscopic sorbent captures moisture from the air and regenerates at 45–50 °C. Our first market is AI data centers. The role We're looking for a senior expert in sorption and heat-recovery systems to guide the engineering of our first module, a few days per month. You'll work closely with our CTO, reviewing design choices and de-risking the path from bench prototype to a first pilot at a customer site.

What you'll do
• Review and challenge the module design: air handling, sorbent beds, heat-recovery water circuit, water collection
• Guide system modelling and sizing: coupled heat and mass transfer, psychrometrics, pressure drops
• Help plan prototype testing and the first pilot deployment
• Flag technical risks early What you bring
• PhD in Mechanical, Energy or Chemical Engineering, or a related field
• 5+ years in sorption, desiccant, dehumidification or HVAC systems, in industry or applied research
• Track record of taking systems from prototype to field deployment
• Data center cooling experience is a strong plus Details On-site in Milan. Italian and English.
