Research Engineer – High Temperature Systems

Role Overview:

We are seeking a Research Engineer to lead the experimental design, execution, and scale-up of a high temperature conversion reactor. This role is critical in advancing our technology from proof-of-concept to commercial scalability. You will work cross-functionally alongside our CTO to design experiments, analyze data, and improve performance. In the near term you will be working on maximizing the data acquisition and functionality of a bench scale reactor, which will in turn be used to design a pilot scale reactor.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead design and execution of experiments to optimize performance, efficiency, and scalability
• Lead hands-on testing, troubleshooting, and improvements in design, materials, and operating conditions to determine solutions for tough problems at bench scale and eventually pilot scale
• Collect, analyze, and interpret experimental data to establish conclusions and recommendations
• Perform engineering design calculations for heat balance, material handling, and process optimization
• Design, prototype, and procure/fabricate experimental rigs

What’s in it for you?

You’ll be working with a team of smart, creative people who are looking to disrupt legacy producers and change how the US thinks about material production. You will have the opportunity to make an immediate impact on day one. This is a pivotal role within our team, where you will play a crucial part in advancing our first-of-its-kind technology to the next stage (and your equity package would reflect that). If you are driven by innovation and eager to contribute to the development of cutting-edge solutions, we encourage you to connect with us.

Required Skills:

• BS, MS, or PhD in chemical, process engineering, or chemistry
• Experience in experimental design and development of chemical processes
• Experience working with hazardous or corrosive gases
• Demonstrated track record of working on a team to achieve ambitious goals together

If you're driven to create groundbreaking technology and want to be part of something truly transformative, this is your chance. Join us early and grow with enormous upside potential!
