Job Description

Interested in working with a groundbreaking company that’s focused on decarbonizing the atmosphere? CarbonCapture Inc. develops and deploys direct air capture (DAC) machines that can be connected in large arrays to remove massive amounts of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. With a patented modular open systems architecture, our DAC platform allows for plug-and-play upgrades, mass production, unlimited scalability, and rapid technology iterations.


We are seeking a highly skilled and innovative Research Scientist to join our material team, focusing on polymer synthesis and the development of sorbent materials for Direct Air Capture (DAC) technologies. This role involves designing, synthesizing, and characterizing novel polymeric materials to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of DAC systems aimed at capturing CO2 from the atmosphere.


Responsibilities


Polymer Synthesis:

o Design and synthesize new polymeric materials with tailored properties for DAC applications.

o Develop and optimize synthetic routes and processes for high-performance sorbents.

o Scale up polymer synthesis from laboratory to pilot-scale production.


Sorbent Development:

o Develop sorbent materials with high capacity and selectivity for CO2 capture.

o Characterize the physicochemical properties of sorbents, including surface area, porosity, and chemical stability.

o Conduct performance testing and evaluation of sorbents in simulated DAC environments.


Research and Innovation:

o Stay current with advancements in polymer chemistry and DAC technologies.

o Identify and implement new research methodologies and technologies to improve sorbent materials.

o Stay updated on the latest literature and review recent articles on sorbent materials for Direct Air Capture.


Collaboration and Communication:

o Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including engineers, chemists, and technologists, to integrate sorbents into DAC systems.

o Provide technical expertise and support for ongoing projects

o Prepare technical reports, documentation, and presentations for internal and external audiences.
