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 Staff/Senior Scientist, R&D. This person will manage the people and direction of the R&D team in order to consolidate complex data streams from lab- or bench-scale systems into process design decisions. The ideal candidate will have familiarity with turning engineering questions into targeted lab-scale experiments, refining analytical methods, building out and maintaining systems for data management, and managing the timeline and priorities of parallel efforts within the team.

  • Conduct focused-studies as an independent contributor including instrument buildout, analytical...
