Overview

We are looking for a mission-driven mechanical engineering intern. You will be directly contributing to the development of our next-generation hardware prototypes. This internship offers a hands-on opportunity to work at the intersection of mechanical design, prototyping, and electrochemistry.

Details

ABOUT US

We are developing a unique electrochemical process which is 6x more energy efficient than first generation DAC and 2x better than the most ambitious second generation technologies. At scale, we estimate the cost per ton to be well below $100/ton.

We are expanding rapidly, and it's an exciting time to join us! We've got a brilliant team, 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

This is a hands-on role that spans from concept and CAD design to fabrication and testing in the lab and workshop. You’ll participate in rapid design–build–test cycles, helping refine components and assemblies to improve performance, reliability, and manufacturability.

The ideal candidate is curious, practical, and comfortable turning ideas into tangible systems. You’ll thrive in a fast-paced, experimental environment, collaborating closely with engineers and scientists to bring early-stage climate hardware to life — and leave a visible mark on a breakthrough technology.

YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Contribute to maturing our hardware through iterative design, build, and test cycles with manufacturability in mind
  • Support requirements definition and translate them into practical design solutions
  • Develop and automate test setups, instrumentation, and data acquisition systems
  • Perform hands-on testing of prototypes and real hardware to validate performance
  • Work in an agile, fast-paced environment, solving problems iteratively with the team
