process development
- Wiring, electrical validation testing, and automation programming
- Travel as needed (approximately 2 weeks per year) to install, maintain, and troubleshoot Direct Air Capture units and their support systems in the field both locally and across the globe
- On the fly mechanical creativity building test rigs and utility feeds to test units
- High and low pressure fluid systems assembly and troubleshooting
- Partner with Program Managers to create processes to efficiently complete work and documenting those methods – in other words: Building systems that build systems

bachelor's
problem solving
teamwork
- Implement your hands-on skills bringing multiple disciplines to bear on prototype and production models of Direct Air Capture and DAC support systems. Experience in one or more of the following areas is valuable (you don't need them all):
- Ease with both working with teammates and independently
- Machining, welding, and fabrication including CAD modeling and CNC programming
- Bachelor's degree in an engineering related field and 2+ years of experience, or 5+ years of directly related experience in lieu of a degree in HVAC, Plumbing, Fabrication, Mechanical, etc.
- Problem Solving--when you encounter obstacles, you actively find solutions and keep projects moving forward instead of getting stuck
- Experience translating ideas from drawings and other virtual three dimensional models into the real world is a plus
