We are a small team of scientists and engineers revolutionizing clean ammonia production using a novel synthesis process we call Haber-Bosch 2.0. Our technology uses state-of-the-art material science and engineering techniques to reduce the energy and cost of ammonia production, decarbonizing one of the most important chemicals in the world.

Responsibilities

Reactor planning and assembly: Work with outside vendors to spec, order, and build chemical reactor systems
Scientific data collection: Work with our control systems to monitor and manipulate our reactors
Add new reactor features with custom controls interface programming and development (Python)
Set up and use various scientific instruments such as mass spectrometers, mass flow controllers, thermogravic analyzers, and more
Give team-wide, data-driven presentations, using analysis tools like Jupyter and other Python libraries
Have meaningful impact on our tools, processes, and products
Develop new and novel materials for use in our wet lab, for use reactor systems

Who should apply:

We’re looking for excited and value-aligned science and engineering students with a research focus. We are particularly interested in those with experience working in a research lab, collecting and presenting data, and building tools to advance research. Applicants will be asked to demonstrate boundary-pushing experiences in their academic or professional careers.

Required expertise:

A solid understanding of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and basic engineering principles. A desire to build and experiment. Experience with lab research and data analysis is a huge plus, as is chemical engineering fundamentals.

Preferred skills/Majors:
