Job description

About Electrified Thermal Solutions
 
Boilers, furnaces, and kilns are the engines of our industrial economy, providing heat to melt steel, form cement, and transform chemicals. But historically reaching this high-temperature heat required burning fossil fuels, making the industrial sector responsible for 25% of global greenhouse gas emissions. 

Electrified Thermal Solutions has a simple and massive goal: to electrify industry.  
 
To do this, we are building the Joule Hive thermal battery: an energy storage technology that converts and stores cheap, renewable electricity as high-temperature heat. Our vision is to mitigate gigatons of CO2 emissions per year by deploying the Joule Hive at every industrial furnace, turbine, boiler, and kiln. 

Electrified Thermal is seeking a co-op to assist with pilot production of our "E-Cast" refractory heater elements at our Charlestown, MA facility. Your role will be at the forefront of our effort to scale up production of these elements, which form the basis of the Joule Hive thermal battery. Your work will tangibly deepen our understanding of producing our elements at scale. You will report to the Senior Test Engineer.  
What You'll Do
  • Mix, pour, vibrate, cure, fire, and package refractory E-cast heater elements as part of the R&D team.
  • Prepare Quality Assurance/Control/QC samples with each batch.
  • Meticulously document the casting process from start to finish in a format that is easily and immediately accessible to others
  • Prepare refractory samples for testing, including cutting, drilling, and grinding.
  • Independently execute on one or more focused projects to improve lab operations and reinforce our safety culture
  • Organize and catalog of samples, tools, and equipment
  • Write, organize, and revise standard operating procedures (SOPs) for lab equipment and activities
  • Travel: No travel is anticipated for this role. 
What You'll Bring
  • Experience in a hands-on laboratory or machine shop environment.  
  • Ability to methodically execute precise tasks with a high degree of repeatability and attention to detail, while documenting your processes.  
  • Working knowledge of laboratory or machine-shop safety procedures 
  • Demonstrated commitment to adhering to workplace safety procedures and contributing to safety culture  
  • Ability to manage technically complex tasks with a high degree of independence  
  • Comfort working with your hands and safely and effectively using power tools such as saws, drills, and grinders.  
  • An enthusiastic approach and resilience in the face of challenging technical and logistical problems 
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Excel and/or other data management software 
What We Offer
  • Flexible start and end dates 
  • Collegial, fast-paced, and fun environment  
  • Competitive hourly rate
$20 - $25 an hour
