About the company:

Naturally occurring minerals - alongside forests, soils, and the ocean - are one of our planet's most vital carbon sinks. Over geological timescales, carbon dioxide in the air and water chemically bind to these minerals and permanently turn to stone.

Our technology enhances this natural process, called carbon mineralization, to help minerals absorb CO2 from the ambient air in days, rather than years. By combining the best of engineering and nature, we can offer the most cost-effective and scalable Direct Air Capture solution in the world.

About Us 

All across the world, from the azure pools of Turkey and Oman to the travertine terraces of Yellowstone, our planet quietly pulls carbon dioxide from the air and turns it to stone. For eons, Earth has relied on this process to balance its carbon cycle. What if it could be harnessed? What if we could do it faster, in larger quantities, and at a low enough cost to make it an effective tool in the fight against climate change? 

At Heirloom, we are turning that into reality. We use the natural carbon capture properties of abundant minerals to pull CO2 from the air, and store it permanently underground. We come to work every day to slow climate change, and are united behind a single, common goal - to remove 1 billion tons of CO2 from the sky by 2035, and to not stop before we get there.  

We bring together the precise recipe of science, technology, know-how, and strategy necessary to make low cost, high quality carbon removal a reality. If we’re successful, we will directly mitigate climate change, build a world we can proudly hand over to our children and grandchildren, and catalyze an industry that will rival the largest the world has ever seen. If you want to change the planet, come join us. 

Our Commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion 

As temperatures continue to rise, individuals from marginalized communities will face the harshest impacts of climate change.  We believe wholeheartedly that building a diverse company is critical to Heirloom’s success.  To accomplish this, we’ve put recruiting, hiring and retaining individuals from underrepresented groups at the top of our priority list. 

We encourage you to apply if you identify as Black, Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander, American Indian or Alaskan Native, Hispanic or Latino, LGBTQ+ – or with any other underrepresented group – even if you don’t tick all the boxes in the description below. 

About the Role
This role is all about diving deep into the challenges faced by production teams, discovering exciting opportunities to streamline solutions and unify the tools used across the board. You'll be at the forefront, testing and deploying cutting-edge production management to enable reliable and efficient operation of Heirloom's carbon removal facilities. Collaborating closely with developers and production staff, you’ll lead the charge on standardizing solutions and consolidating tools used by production managers, shift supervisors, and operations/maintenance technicians to support production scheduling, monitoring, and alerting. By harnessing real-time data and feedback from the production floor, you'll drive continuous improvements that push performance to the next level. And, as a key player, you'll make strategic calls on technical complexity and timelines, while delivering a compelling product roadmap to stakeholders.

What you will bring
Along with your 6+ years of experience working in production or manufacturing environments, you've taken products from concept to launch and have a knack for building innovative software solutions that transform plant or facility operations. You’ll bring your expertise in production planning, performance monitoring, and cross-functional communication to deliver products that will facilitate the operation of carbon removing facilities. Hands-on experience with UX design, SCADA architectures, and software development will allow you to directly influence every aspect of the product. With a deep understanding of platform development lifecycles and production management tools, you’ll be driving complex projects to success. If you're a strong communicator, a curious, action-driven team player with a passion for problem-solving and innovation, you’ll thrive in this dynamic and fast-paced environment!
