Junior Test Bench Engineer / Ingénieur bancs d'essais

At Dioxycle we develop electrolyser solutions for carbon dioxide emissions. Using state-of-the-art technology, we research and provide technology that captures and converts carbon dioxide and ultimately generates valuable chemical products. 

Dioxycle is pioneering breakthrough carbon utilization technologies that convert industrial emissions into sustainable chemicals with unprecedented energy and cost efficiency. By displacing fossil fuels for the production of key chemicals, Dioxycle has the potential to ultimately reduce over 800 million tons of CO2 per year, representing over 2% of the world's emissions. 

 

At the core of our process is a novel "carbon electrolyzer", a machine capable of using just electricity and water to convert carbon emissions back into valuable everyday essential chemicals. Our team is innovating across chemical, mechanical and system engineering to turn carbon transformation into an economically feasible, industrial reality through this completely novel technological approach. Having completed our medium-scale Proof-of-Concept electrolyzer, we are now working towards a first-of-its-kind large-scale industrial prototype and are assembling key partnerships for future commercial roll-out.

We are supported by world-class funders including Lowercarbon Capital, Breakthrough Energy Ventures and Gigascale Capital and have raised $37M to date. We operate from two centers in Paris and California (so whether you are passionate about outdoors or good food/art scenes, we have a location for you to join!)

Dioxycle is hiring a Junior Test Bench Engineer to take care of our electrolysis test benches and prototypes. As a junior Test Bench Engineer, you will have a key hands-on role designing, assembling, and troubleshooting automated test benches. You will apply mechanical, electrical, and software skills in your every day work, contributing to continued improvement and operation of our extensive electrolyzer test systems. You will implement different regulation loops for pressure, temperature, flow, etc, and, more generally, contribute to the definition of the automation strategy.

- Design, construction and improvement of end-to-end test benches, including the mechanical, electrical, software and process parts

- Troubleshooting and maintenance of the test benches, including instrumentation and controls

- Design of the electrolysis sub-systems using thermal and fluid calculations

- Testing and validation of the sub-systems through the implementation of test protocols

- Implementation and tuning of PID controllers

- Writing of documentation

- Benchmark suppliers and contact them

- Maintain inventory and improve the inventory system

We are looking for a pragmatic, hands-on, and versatile Test Bench Engineer who is dedicated to advancing our mission and possesses the skills outlined below.

We are looking for people of diverse backgrounds that bring a plethora of skills, perspectives and mindsets to the table that can spur originality, imagination, creativity, and fun!
