We’re on a mission to decarbonize the aviation industry. Backed by USV.
About the role
Lydian is developing the lowest cost sustainable fuels from waste CO2, water, and renewable electricity to decarbonize the aviation industry. Our breakthrough technology replaces oil and gas refining with fully electrified, modular, and flexible reactor systems that produce fuel with 95% lower emissions than traditional jet fuel. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Currently pursuing a B.S. or M.S. in Mechanical Engineering or a related engineering field
- Some hands-on experience with mechatronics design through coursework, projects, internships, or work—for example, robotics or automated manufacturing equipment
- Experience using SolidWorks or comparable 3D CAD software to develop parts and assemblies, ability to turn a design concept into a buildable model
- Able to understand an open-ended technical problem, develop and compare ideas, and make progress through hands-on design, building, and testing
- Interest or experience in specifying and selecting mechanical and electrical components for a system
- Comfortable working hands-on in a lab, shop, or prototyping environment, with attention to safety and detail

Lydian is developing the lowest cost sustainable fuels from waste CO2, water, and renewable electricity to decarbonize the aviation industry. Our breakthrough technology replaces oil and gas refining with fully electrified, modular, and flexible reactor systems that produce fuel with 95% lower emissions than traditional jet fuel.
Since our founding in 2021, Lydian has achieved key milestones in record time, including the production of our first liquid fuel from our pilot system, capable of producing 10,000 gallons of fuel per year for a fraction of the capital and time of alternative approaches. We are building a motivated, diverse, and collaborative team that is passionate about addressing the growing climate crisis and is committed to excellence in their work. In particular, we look for tenacious people who are energized by solving the hardest, highest impact problems that come their way.
Lydian is looking for a 6-month Mechanical Engineering Co-op for Spring 2027 (January - June) to design, build, and test mechatronic equipment that helps automate catalyst loading in our proprietary fuel synthesis reactor. You will take on hands-on engineering challenges—from understanding a...
