Job description

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. Our products can directly access existing markets (mono ethylene glycol, for example, a 40Mton/year market), and our economics are projected to be competitive or advantaged versus current fossil-based production. We will be in the position to offer differentiated carbon-negative products at competitive prices, and thus our potential impact on emissions and society is enormous. We're seeking highly motivated team leaders and members who want to significantly impact climate change and are excited to work in a collaborative team setting.

As a Senior Electrochemical Engineer, you will partner closely with our scientists and engineers to advance the catalyst development of our CO2 electrolyzer. You will be responsible for establishing new research and development directions and leading a team in building a process from the ground up.
