Research Engineer
AirMyne, Berkeley, California
About the job
AirMyne is a Series A Direct Air Capture (DAC) startup aiming to develop the most readily scalable and cost-competitive DAC process. By employing widely available industrial technologies and equipment, and by creating an energy-flexible process, we hope to overcome barriers to scale such as material supply chains, cost and availability of clean energy, and plant capacity factors. Our engineering team has spent the last four years refining our process into a full integrated system, and we are on our way to an outdoor pilot funded by the California Energy Commission.
We are looking to bring on a Research Engineer/Scientist who will run lab-scale experiments to develop fundamental data on crystallization, solubility, and solid-liquid separation as well as translate these data to pilot scale decisions. The ideal candidate will be familiar with typical wet-lab equipment and techniques, able to independently design and carry out experiments, and effectively communicate results in weekly research meetings.
What you’ll do
- Design and run lab scale experiments at exploring e.g. crystallization, filtration, solubility
- Perform chemical analysis to track chemical composition of solvent
