About this role

CHROMAMOS Saarland, Germany | On-site | Co-Founder / Equity | Deep Tech / Analytical Instruments **About ChromaMOS **ChromaMOS has built a portable, lab-quality gas analysis device that delivers fast, dependable on-site results at a fraction of the cost of existing lab-based solutions — already validated for freshness assessment of hazelnuts, with applications spanning quality management, leakage monitoring and future breath analysis.

**The opportunity **Built by Oliver Brieger ( M.Sc . Systems Engineering, currently finishing his PhD) and Julian Joppich ( M.Sc . Microtechnology and Nanostructures), ChromaMOS now has a validated 2nd-generation prototype at TRL 7 and is in discussions on LOIs with the food industry. The two engineer co-founders need a business partner to turn a validated device into an actual product and company. Tasks What you will own **Company build-up & funding **- Lead incorporation (not yet founded) and drive the EXIST Research Transfer application and other funding routes for market-ready product development.

- Own the fundraising and grant strategy alongside the two technical co-founders. Business development & sales - Convert ongoing food-industry conversations into signed LOIs and paying pilot customers. - Define target markets beyond food (quality management, leakage monitoring, breath analysis) and prioritize go-to-market. Operations, marketing & finance - Set up the commercial, marketing and finance operations the founding engineering team doesn't yet have in place.

Requirements What you bring **Core experience **- Business development, sales, marketing, operations or finance experience — ChromaMOS is open to a generalist business co-founder covering some or all of these. - Comfort working with a deep-tech hardware product moving from validated prototype to market-ready product. Especially valuable - Experience with EXIST or similar German public deep-tech funding programs. - Existing network in food industry quality management, industrial gas analysis, or analytical instruments.

- Interest in also helping recruit the team's planned 3rd (engineering/electronics) hire. Benefits Why join ChromaMOS - A 2nd-generation prototype already validated at TRL 7 for a real use case (hazelnut freshness), not an early concept. - Significantly lower cost than existing lab-based gas analysis solutions — a clear commercial wedge. - Ground-floor equity alongside two technical co-founders who have already built the product.

ChromaMOS welcomes co-founder candidates regardless of gender, age, ethnic origin, religion or belief, disability, sexual identity, or any other characteristic.
