Work at EMI Twente

Careers

At EMI Twente, we don’t just work on membranes — we push their limits.

We’re a team of curious engineers, scientists, and builders who believe that innovation happens when theory meets the smell of polymer dope and the hum of a spinning line. Every day, we turn ideas into real-world membrane technology — from lab-scale breakthroughs to full-scale pilot systems.

If you love solving complex problems, tinkering with processes, and arguing (politely) about mass transfer coefficients, you’ll fit right in. We collaborate closely with universities, start-ups, and industry leaders across the world, all driven by one thing: making membrane technology smarter, more sustainable, and just plain better.

Work at EMI Twente

At EMI Twente, you’ll find:
– Projects that challenge you (and sometimes your sanity)
– Colleagues who care as much about accuracy as they do about bad coffee
– A lab where “What if we tried…” is an acceptable way to start a meeting
– Freedom to explore, fail fast, and learn even faster

We’re not a corporate giant — and that’s exactly why we get things done.
Whether you’re a student, researcher, or seasoned engineer, if you’re looking for a place where your nerdy side is not just accepted but celebrated, then you might just be one of us.

Your expertise, our challenges. Together, we set the sustainable future of membrane technology.
