The Company

We've partnered with a well-funded Bay-Area climate-tech startup building an economically disruptive direct-air-capture (DAC) system to market.

‍

This multidisciplinary team  is moving fast and looking for a skilled DAC Systems Engineer with previous experience scaling from lab to pilot and beyond. If you thrive in an collaborative, agile and mission-driven environment, we’d love to meet you.

‍

Your Impact (Responsibilities)

• Design, develop, and optimize air-contactor and liquid-handling systems for high-efficiency CO₂ capture.
• Lead prototype, pilot-scale and full-scale system design and deployment—everything from concept through commissioning.
• Select materials and components with a keen eye on chemical compatibility, durability, and cost.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with chemistry, stack-design, and mechanical-engineering teams to ensure seamless integration and performance.

About You

• Degree: B.S., M.S., or Ph.D. in Mechanical, Chemical, Systems, or Process Engineering.
• Experience: 3+ years designing DAC, carbon-capture, or other large-scale fluid-handling systems.
• Technical Expertise: Hands-on design of air–liquid contactor systems, ideally with alkaline solvents (KOH, NaOH, amines).
• Scale-up Success: Proven track record taking hardware from prototype to pilot to commercial scale.
• Nice-to-Have: Background with pioneering DAC organizations or equivalent large-scale projects
