About Dioxycle
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 2% of the world's emissions.
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 medium-scale Proof-of-Concept 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 and Gigascale Capital and have raised $37M 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!)
Your Mission
Dioxycle is seeking an experienced and driven Process Engineer to join our team at this pivotal phase of transition from R&D to industrial piloting. Partnering with our existing process team, you will contribute to the definition and review of various processes relevant to our solution. As such, your responsibilities will center around:
- Propose new process schemes for the integration of our core technology into real industrial environments
- Define PFDs (Process Flow Diagrams) and P&IDs (Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams) both from documented processes and leveraging your experience
- Develop process simulation files using specialized software for the planned process chain
- Conduct quick techno-economic analyses based on simulation results
- Contribute to concept & feasibility studies for industrial partners
- Contribute to the conceptualization, design, and development of our industrial carbon electrolyzer plant
- Collaborate with an engineering company from the feasibility, through concept development and FEED phase to detailed engineering stages.
- Contribute to pilot commissioning phase and iterative improvement
Location: Onsite in Paris, France (Saint-Ouen)
Opportunity for Growth:
The position offers a clear path for professional growth within Dioxycle, with the possibility to advance into a specialized role focused on process development or project engineering.
