Job Summary
About Dioxycle
Dioxycle is pioneering breakthrough carbon utilization technologies that convert industrial emissions into sustainable chemicals with unprecedented energy and cost efficiency. By displacing fossil fuels for the production of key chemicals Dioxycle has the potential to ultimately reduce over 800 million tons of CO2 per year representing over 2% of the worlds emissions.
At the core of our process is a novel electrolyzer using electricity and widely available feedstocks (CO CO2 emissions salt streams) rather than fossil fuels de-linking the production of critical chemicals from fossil-linked supply chains exposed to chokepoints export bans and price volatility. We focus on chemicals where our direct electrified pathway simplifies complex multi-step fossil-fuel-based processes into fewer simpler steps; delivering a process that is both cleaner and cheaper.
Our team is innovating across chemical mechanical and system engineering to turn carbon transformation into an economically feasible industrial reality through this completely novel technological approach. Having completed our industrial-scale electrolyzer prototype we are now working with our chemical and downstream offtakers towards First-of-a-kind plant deployment and subsequent commercial roll-out.
We are supported by world-class funders including Bill-Gates-founded Breakthrough Energy Ventures Lowercarbon Capital and Gigascale Capital and have raised $40M to date. We operate from two centers in Paris and California (so whether you are passionate about outdoors or good food/art scenes we have a location for you to join!)
Your Mission
Dioxycle is seeking a hands-on Systems Technician to join our Menlo Park-based team to support experimental tests on our electrolyzers.
