Building systems to remove carbon dioxide from air at industrial scale. Backed by Y Combinator.
About the role
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. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- B.S. in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, or related field
- 2-4 years experience in designing, building, and troubleshooting hardware

- Ability to evaluate whether to purchase a component or build it in-house
- Excited to get hands dirty with prototype fabrication, plumbing, troubleshooting, and process optimization
- Organized and disciplined about equipment safety, design reviews, and clean build practices
More about this role
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 now looking to expand our team with a Mechanical Design Engineer who will design, build, and iterate prototypes ranging from lab scale up to roughly the size of a shipping container. The ideal candidate will be comfortable owning mechanical designs from concept and requirements to commissioning and testing. They will have practical experience with process equipment, safety reviews, and hands-on fabrication.
- Design unit operation prototypes and lab-scale test chambers to achieve specifications and sensing requirements from R&D team
- Select and integrate process hardware including pumps, valves, tanks, pressure...
