About the startup

🎯 We are developing a unique electrochemical process which is 10x more energy efficient than first generation DAC and 3x better than the most ambitious second generation technologies. At megaton scale, we estimate the cost per ton to be well below $100/ton.

🚀 The startup was co-founded by Silvia & Marble.

Silvia Pugliese, PhD is a scientist and inventor at heart. During her MSc in chemistry she invented a methane capture & conversion technology and co-founded her first climate deeptech startup. Successively, she worked on developing an artificial leaf that could convert CO2 into useful products. She became part of Marble, all in with the mission to revolutionize direct air capture.

Marble is a climate tech venture studio. They partner with scientists, engineers and operators to build and scale up unique deeptech startups that slash emissions, remove carbon and cool the planet. The startup received pre-seed funding from Marble.

Our team is expanding rapidly, and it's an exciting time to join us! We've got a brilliant electrochemist, top-tier advisors, and amazing collaborators on board. If you're passionate and eager to make a real impact, good news- we have a seat reserved for you. 😉

About The Role

We are looking for a process/chemical engineer to help build the first fully integrated prototype of a unique technology with a 10x improvement potential on current benchmarks.

The role will focus on designing, building and optimizing the process at small-scale.

Location: HQ in Paris, lab in Paris downtown - we can sponsor relocation visa if needed

Language: English fluency required. French is not mandatory.

Your Responsibilities

  • Design and development: Deliver a fully integrated prototype for best-in-class performance. You’ll implement and configure the process; catalytic reactors, surrounding equipment (flowing, heating, analysis), and associated software. You’ll also lead the scale-up process in due time, ensuring the sustainability and scalability of the system.
  • Performance assessment: You’ll implement a close feedback loop on the system - allowing you to observe, orient, decide, and act for future iterations. This may include assessing processes, taking measurements, running and testing different samples, performing process simulations, and issue troubleshooting.
  • Project management & procurement: You’ll be overseeing the sourcing and procurement of strategic machinery and equipment. You’ll maintain records and write early company documentation of the process.

Ideal Background(s)

We are looking for a candidate with a MSc or PhD, ranging from Mid Level to Senior experience in startup/industrial environment.

  • Proven experience in industrial projects, particularly involving large-scale electrochemical processes and/or carbon capture, storage, utilization
  • Demonstrated experience in Proof of Concept (PoC) development and scale-up
  • P&ID design and optimization
  • TEA and LCA
  • Proficient in utilizing methods and tools for process engineering
  • Ability to manage a project, from cost to people and time constraints
  • Experience with electrochemical systems is a plus;
  • Experience with biotechnologies is a plus

What We Offer

We are an early-stage company building a world-class team, and a game-changing technology based on an ambitious vision, and we are 100% committed to it.

On top of the opportunity to make a REAL impact in the climate fight, we offer:

  • Full-time (CDI) contract
  • Competitive compensation and equity package based on profile & experience.
  • Benefits: health insurance, meal vouchers, 50% commute refund
  • The unique opportunity to join the startup from its inception and play a critical role in its growth.
  • A collaborative, dynamic, and stimulating work environment;
  • Work ethic and intellectual honesty.
