Job Description:

Collector Concepts Development: You contribute to the design and development of new CO₂ collector system architectures, translating sorbent and process requirements into practical, manufacturable equipment. You support the creation of innovative concepts and help bring them to life through engineering design. Prototyping & Testing: You take a hands-on role in prototyping and testing collector concepts and subsystems. You design and execute experiments to validate performance, troubleshoot issues, and optimize designs for reliability and scalability. Cross-Functional Collaboration: You work closely with sorbent scientists, process engineers, and mechanical designers to ensure seamless integration of materials and processes into collector systems. You support the scale-up of technologies from lab to pilot and industrial scale. Engineering & Industrialisation Support: You assist in the transition from concept to manufacturable product, contributing to detail design, design-for-manufacture, and compliance. You collaborate with the Industrialisation team to ensure robust implementation of new technologies. Documentation & Continuous Improvement: You document designs, test results, and learnings to support knowledge sharing and accelerate development cycles. You actively contribute to improving engineering processes and practices.
