About the company:

Brimstone is on a mission to transform heavy industry, starting with cement—an essential sector responsible for 7.5% of global CO2 emissions. Our team developed an efficient, economical, and deeply decarbonized process to produce portland cement, supplementary cementitious materials (SCM) and smelter grade alumina. The Brimstone process leverages the power of co-production and a carbon-free feedstock to deliver the same industry-standard products trusted by builders for generations.

Brimstone is seeking a materials engineer to work on decarbonizing the cement and concrete industry. This individual will work in an R&D environment, performing experiments and conducting analysis related to Brimstone’s carbon-negative Portland cement and supplementary cementitious materials (SCM). If you possess a strong technical background in cementitious materials, are passionate about decarbonizing construction materials, and consider yourself highly organized and ambitious, learn more about the role and apply to join our team below.

This position is onsite at our lab located in Oakland, CA.

The annual salary range for this position is $120,000 - $150,000
