Stack Design Engineer

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 1% of the world's emissions. 
 
At Dioxycle, we believe that profitability is essential to trigger adoption of decarbonization technologies at the scale and speed required to reach our net-zero goals. With this in mind, our team is innovating across chemical, mechanical and system engineering to turn carbon transformation into an economically feasible, industrial reality. Having completed our medium-scale Proof-of-Concept carbon monoxide 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, Gigascale Capital and operate from two R&D centers in Europe and California.

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 industrial-scale electrolyzer prototype, we are now working with our chemical and downstream offtakers towards First-of-a-kind plant deployment and subsequent commercial roll-out.

 

We are supported by world-class funders including Bill-Gates-founded Breakthrough Energy Ventures, Lowercarbon Capital and Gigascale Capital and have raised $40M 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 seeking a Stack Design Engineer to join our design team. You'll be working on end-to-end development of our electrolyzer stacks, at the intersection of mechanical design, breakthrough electrochemistry, and manufacturing - taking concepts from CAD to physical reality, and iterating fast.

 

This is a role for someone who thinks rigorously, builds pragmatically, and isn't afraid to get into the details of a component tolerance or a supplier negotiation. You'll have real ownership over a core piece of our technology. The problems are hard, the impact is direct, and the work is never boring. 

 

Your key responsibilities will center around:

- Design new electrolyzer stacks using CAD software, from early concept to detailed drawings

- Dimension and validate components (manifolds, bipolar plates, sealing systems, compression systems) using theoretical calculations and computational simulations

- Own innovative product design initiatives in close collaboration with the stack team, chemistry team and scale-up team

- Lead manufacturing planning, procurement, and supplier relationships for your stack product
