Mechanical Engineer

CO2 is a global problem. By fermenting it into carbon negative chemicals, we make it the solution.

We have figured out how to take the carbon outputs from industrial emitters, and use them as the inputs for chemical manufacturing. We’re not simply storing carbon away - we are turning it into valuable, emission-free green-chemicals.

If that doesn’t bubble your bioreactor, how about this: For every tonne of products we make, over 2 tonnes of carbon are removed from the atmosphere.

We have raised over $50m to date from top venture capital investors as well as in grant funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 programme.

What you’ll do
We are looking for a Mechanical Engineer to join our multidisciplinary team of biologists and engineers. You will be responsible for helping us upscale our bioprocess and play a pivotal role in our mission to think again about how we use CO2.

Responsibilities

• You will lead the design and engineering of mechanical equipment to support the process engineering team, as well as identify areas for process improvement and implement solutions to enhance efficiency, reliability, and safety.
• Managing the quality assessment and dimensioning of pipes and infrastructure for our existing and upcoming production facilities
  
• Developing and maintaining relevant internal engineering documents, such as drawings, mass & energy balances, and OPEX.
• Working closely with the process team to asses and quality-check technical drawings from engineering firms and suppliers

Job requirements
About you:

• You have experience designing on large and complex projects (e.g., fermentation, chemical plants, ethanol, biogas, syngas or similar) having overseen the completion of at least one full scale facilities.
  
• You have an educational background in Mechanical Engineering, or a similar field.
  
• You have experience and are comfortable using 3D modelling tools (AutoCAD, Bluebeam, etc.)
  
• Experience with gas handling is not required, but preferred
• You are an unconventional and out-of-the-box thinker (which is essential, as we are doing things that haven’t been done before)

What we promise you?

• You get to work with a group of passionate scientists, working on challenging and meaningful projects
• This will be the journey of a lifetime – we are serious about our mission to reduce over 1 gigaton of CO₂ and you can play a pivotal role in making that happen
• An inclusive, empowering and engaging work environment
• We understand that relocating can be a hassle, so if you don't live in Denmark, we will help out to give you a smooth transition
