What is a Carbon Capture job?

A Carbon Capture job involves developing, implementing, and managing technologies that capture and store carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from industrial processes, power plants, or the atmosphere. Professionals in this field work on designing and optimizing carbon capture systems, conducting research, and ensuring regulatory compliance. Roles can include engineers, scientists, and project managers focused on reducing greenhouse gas emissions to mitigate climate change.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the Carbon Capture position, and why are they important?

To thrive in a Carbon Capture role, you need a strong background in chemical engineering, environmental science, or a related field, often supported by a relevant degree and experience with carbon capture technologies. Familiarity with process simulation tools (like Aspen HYSYS), monitoring systems, and adherence to industry safety standards are essential. Outstanding problem-solving skills, collaboration, and effective communication are vital soft skills in this field. These competencies are crucial for optimizing carbon capture processes, ensuring regulatory compliance, and successfully working in multidisciplinary teams.

What are the typical responsibilities of someone working in carbon capture?

Professionals in carbon capture are usually tasked with designing, optimizing, and monitoring systems that capture and store carbon dioxide emissions from industrial processes. Day-to-day duties might involve data analysis, troubleshooting equipment, ensuring regulatory compliance, and coordinating with engineers, scientists, and environmental specialists. You may also participate in research initiatives to improve capture efficiency or reduce costs. This role often requires working both in laboratory settings and on-site at industrial facilities. Collaboration and problem-solving are key, as the work is often highly integrated within larger teams committed to sustainability goals.

Job description

About Deep Sky
Deep Sky is on a mission to accelerate the world's transition to carbon removal by developing and operating direct air capture (DAC) facilities. Our state-of-the-art plant in Innisfail will play a crucial role in capturing CO directly from the atmosphere, helping combat climate change on a global scale. Join us in this groundbreaking journey to achieve net-zero.

Job Overview
We are seeking an Electrical Engineer to join Deep Sky's R&D Engineering Team onsite in Los Angeles, CA to design, analyze, prototype, and integrate electrical and electromechanical systems for Direct Air Carbon Capture reactors and the supporting test infrastructure including hardware-in-the-loop digital twin systems. If you have a passion for building robust systems, solving complex engineering challenges, working hands-on with the hardware, and not afraid to fail, we'd love to hear from you.
Key Responsibilities
  • Rapidly develop electronics for Direct Air Carbon Capture reactors and supporting infrastructure including high power electronics, control systems and actuators, programmable logic controllers, reactor instrumentation, and harnessing.
  • Create and review electrical load lists, piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&ID) for various plant and facility designs.
  • Drive system trades, requirements capture, component selection, analysis, schematic capture, prototyping, bring-up, debugging, documentation, manufacturing, and testing.
  • Design, procure components, integrate, and test electrical ground support equipment including data acquisition systems and electrical simulators.
  • Create development and qualification testing campaigns to validate analysis and requirements and exercise designs to their limits.
  • Build math and analysis models to verify initial design assumptions.
  • Establish vendor relationships and healthy supply chain through each prototyping step through final integration.
  • Lead multidisciplinary root cause investigations and component redesigns to improve reliability and production rate.
  • Demonstrate extreme ownership of product outcomes at every stage of development and production.
Basic Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, avionics, hardware, robotics, physics or other related STEM discipline.
  • 3+ years of engineering design experience (will count up to 1 year of internships, student projects, and/or extracurricular projects)
Preferred Skills and Experience
  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced, autonomously driven, and demanding atmosphere.
  • Strong judgment in assessing risk and making decisions without complete data.
  • Hands-on experience with electrical design, prototyping, integration, and testing.
  • Proficient in electrical CAD and analysis software (e.g., Altium or similar).
  • Self-motivated, strong multi-tasking, organizational, communication, and documentation skills.
  • Experience working effectively across multi-disciplinary teams.
Additional Requirements
  • Willing to work extended hours and weekends when needed.
  • Some travel may be required.
Compensation
  • $100,000 - $180,000 per year
  • Final compensation will be based on a variety of factors such as your experience, skill set, and how well your background aligns with the role's responsibilities and our team's needs.
Why Join Deep Sky? 
Be part of a mission-driven team focused on fighting climate change.
Work with cutting-edge technology in a dynamic and innovative environment.
Competitive compensation and benefits package.
Opportunities for growth and professional development.
