About us At Carbonyx, we believe there is an prospect to scale carbon removal by embedding it into the production of essential materials. We are pioneering electrochemical technology that makes these materials by combining atmospheric CO 2 with industrial waste. Our process inherently separates product streams, enabling us to provide high grade, industry-ready materials with negative carbon emissions built-in. Following a recent financing round, Carbonyx is now in an exciting growth phase. We are building and scaling our technology toward the commercialization of our carbon-negative materials.
Our team is composed of highly motivated scientists and engineers who are experts in the fields of electrochemistry, carbon capture, conversion, and storage. We value creativity, innovation, and integrity and are looking to build a team of diverse, sharp individuals committed to advancing climate solutions.
Position overview We are seeking an experienced Lead Process Engineer to lead the development, optimization, and scale-up of our reactor technology. This is a hands-on role that sits at the intersection of R&D;, scale-up and deployment. In this role, you will develop and scale chemical dissolution and precipitation processes to enable continuous carbon removal and materials production. You will play a critical role in building, operating, and improving our process from lab to pilot scale, working closely with the founding team to bring Carbonyx technology to market. As a small and agile team, you will be working directly with the technical founding team in shaping the future and direction of the technology and products.
