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 Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, or related field
- 3-5+ years industry experience including at least 3 years of laboratory experience. We’re looking for someone who can immediately own a project using significant background knowledge and practical experience
- At least 1 year of experience in crystallization and solid-liquid separation techniques
- Experience designing and carrying out experiments
- Happy to get hands dirty with prototype builds, experiments, and process optimization
- Strong data analysis, documentation, and communication skills

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.
- Design and run lab scale experiments at exploring e.g. crystallization, filtration, solubility
- Perform chemical analysis to track chemical composition of solvent
- Synthesize and...
