Electrical Engineer - R&D Team

Deep Sky is a Canadian company focused on carbon removal, with a mission to accelerate the development and deployment of carbon dioxide removal (CDR) technologies. The company acts as a project developer and financier, identifying and scaling the most promising carbon capture approaches to help address the climate crisis. Deep Sky works to bridge the gap between early-stage carbon removal technologies and large-scale commercial deployment. The company partners with leading carbon removal technology providers to build and operate carbon capture facilities, with a focus on rigorous measurement, reporting, and verification of carbon removal outcomes. Deep Sky aims to make high-quality, permanent carbon removal accessible to corporate buyers seeking credible offsets and climate solutions. Their approach emphasizes scientific integrity and long-term durability of carbon storage. Deep Sky is distinguished by its focus on next-generation carbon removal methods, including enhanced weathering, direct air capture, and other novel CDR pathways. By concentrating development efforts in Canada, where favorable geology and energy resources support large-scale carbon storage, the company positions itself as a key infrastructure builder in the emerging carbon removal industry.

Key Responsibilities

Rapidly develop electronics for Direct Air Carbon Capture reactors and supporting infrastructure including high power electronics, control systems and actuators, programmable logic controllers, reactor instrumentation, and harnessing.
