About the company:

We're Twelve, the carbon transformation company—a new kind of chemical company that makes things from air, not oil. Our breakthrough technology eliminates emissions by transforming CO2 into critical materials, products and fuels. 
When it comes to addressing climate change, carbon isn’t our nemesis. To the contrary, we see carbon as the element of change. Carbon isn’t just the building block of life, it’s the building block of the chemicals, materials and fuels that make up our modern world and power innovation. From the spring in our running shoes to our favorite electronics, to building materials, electric car parts and fuels, carbon makes it possible. The problem is we get this carbon today from fossil fuels in the form of petrochemicals, which creates CO2 emissions and accelerates climate change.
Carbon transformation fundamentally changes this paradigm by sourcing carbon from CO2 instead of fossil fuels. By replacing the fossil carbon in critical chemicals with renewable, recycled carbon from CO2, we can eliminate emissions from thousands of essential products and set a new standard for how things get made in the climate era.

Twelve is a new kind of chemical company built for the climate era. Our breakthrough technology eliminates emissions by turning CO2 into essential products. We are a team of scientists, engineers and problem solvers on a mission to fundamentally shift the way the world addresses climate change and lead the transition to a fossil free future with our carbon transformation technology.

The fabrication team is a dynamic part of Twelve’s technical team and is responsible for manufacturing the core component of our CO2 electrolyzer. The team works collaboratively to translate research ideas into functioning systems.

As a MEA Fabrication Technician, you will help with manufacturing membrane electrode assemblies (MEAs) for Twelve’s electrochemical CO2 reduction process. 

In this role, you will work on a team to iterate rapidly through ink formulations and fabrication conditions to provide quality MEAs for testing at different scales. Quality control and attention to detail are key to our success and forward progress.

What you will do: 

  • Adhere to applicable safety and security procedures for lab and pilot work.
  • Make electrodes for our R&D projects following production specifications.
  • Measure process and characterization parameters for quality control.
  • Communicate technical information to the team as needed, both verbally and written.
  • Communicate status of samples and the fabrication system with different team members
  • Prepare coating solutions for daily fabrication, including precisely measuring and mixing wet and dry ingredients. 
  • Measure quality of solutions by sampling and running quality tests on lab equipment.
  • Operate technical tools and equipment to prepare and coat solutions onto substrates. 
  • Participate in the efficient and effective operation of fabrication lab and processes. 
  • Actively participate in cross training as needed as well as learning new skills required due to technology advances.

Who you are:

  • You’re excited about growth in a  fast-paced technical environment. 
  • You are looking for a position that will give you opportunities to expand your skills in leadership, organization, communication, and teamwork.
  • You have some experience working in a laboratory or manufacturing environment.
  • You have acute attention to detail, excellent hand-eye coordination, strong time management, and fantastic organizational skills.
  • You are an effective communicator, love working with teams, and have a demonstrated track record of following directions or standard operating procedures (SOPs).
