Mechanical Engineer

RenewCO₂ commercializes electrochemical processes to convert CO₂ emissions into carbon-negative materials. What distinguishes us from other CO₂ reduction approaches is our proprietary catalyst which enables an energy-efficient and selective pathway to existing valuable commodity chemicals such as formic acid ammonia monoethylene glycol sustainable aviation fuel and more. Our products can access existing markets and our economics are projected to be competitive or advantageous compared to current fossil-based production. We will be in a position to offer differentiated carbon-negative products at competitive prices thereby having a significant impact on emissions and society. Were seeking highly motivated team leaders and members who want to make a significant positive impact on climate change and are excited to work in a collaborative team setting.

The RenewCO₂ leadership team includes experts in electrochemical catalysis and industrial systems including Dr. Anders Laursen Dr. Karin Calvinho and Dr. Chock Karuppaiah along with industry leaders such as Arne Ballantine (Founder Ohmium; former Bloom Energy CEO) and Srushti Parhar (ex-Bloom Energy software industry veteran). Additional leadership team members bring deep expertise from the chemicals and oil & gas sectors across U.S. and Japanese markets and will actively mentor and support selected candidates.

RenewCO2 is hiring a Mechanical Engineer to design and support the build of mechanical systems for CO₂ electrolyzer equipment (electrochemical stack testers test stations and prototype systems). The mechanical engineer will develop system layouts P&IDs and SolidWorks designs for cell components manifolds piping and equipment skids as well as support integration of process equipment into these products. The responsibilities will include performing engineering calculations defining bills of materials and preparing manufacturing drawings and working hands-on with fabrication vendors and technicians through assembly testing and commissioning.
