Working Student in electrochemical Direct Air Capture (f/m/d)

Come and do your life’s work - Why we do what we do

Phlair unleashes CO2's potential through breakthrough innovation. We rapidly deploy Direct Air Capture technology, facilitating the removal and reuse of CO2 at scale.

For decades, fossil fuels served as the backbone and feedstock of our economy – with the downside of polluting our atmosphere. We invert this equation by developing a cost-efficient and scalable electrochemical Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology. We have cracked the nut here by developing a breakthrough hydrolizer for acid/base regeneration, allowing us to capture CO2 from ambient air for either permanent storage or as a precursor for CO2-negative chemicals. For this, we collaborate with leading customers like Frontier Climate, Stripe, Shopify, and Klarna.

We are looking for highly ambitious and motivated individuals who are ready to work their a** off to have a lasting impact on the planet. Your ideas will set the foundation and shape the future of our company.

At Phlair we're committed to creating a high-performing and inclusive environment where every voice is heard and valued: You can find more on our culture here.

Join our team of world-class scientists, engineers, and passionate entrepreneurs. All qualified applicants are given fair consideration and women are strongly encouraged to apply - Come as you are!

What you’ll need

Hard skills that are necessary for this role

• You have successfully completed a BSc. Degree in Chemistry or Chemical Engineering
• You bring experience working in chemical labs

Soft skills that are necessary for this role

• You like to work in a young and dynamic atmosphere with a great team spirit
• You love to build something and transform research into a working product
• You are an accurate problem solver, reliant, and work precisely
• You like to hold yourself accountable for hitting timelines

We are the first EU and German DAC company to be selected by Frontier Climate. Frontier is a buyers' club for high-quality carbon removal credits, i.e. a certificate validating the permanent (for >1,000 years!) and additional (to natural processes) removal of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere, thereby curbing global warming.

Benefit and grow from our network: You will have access to an extensive group of leaders. We can provide 1-to-1 mentoring with investors, engineering advisors, or our business angels from startups, consulting, and industry.

Great to have, but optional

Your mission at Phlair

Your mission: Together with our CSO Steffen you will work conducting electrochemical experiments in our lab and improving the core components of our Direct Air Capture technology.

• Install and commission complex technical chemical experiments
• Scientific work in an electrochemical lab on our hydrolizer technology
• Calculations and simulations of our process
• Literature research in the field of electrochemical CO2 absorption

Your targets are an important roadmap but nothing is set in stone in the startup world.

At Phlair, we understand that it is crucial to have the ability to quickly adapt to the market environment and a very new sector being shaped under our eyes. This means that we highly value flexible team members, who embrace a changing environment, and thrive when working autonomously, learning while doing.
