Working at the intersection of soil health and carbon removal, we’re building the world’s first in-field mobile biochar production system to unlock a new scalable market in sustainable agriculture. Biochar is a real climate and soil health solution today and one of the most promising solutions for addressing global climate change at scale.
We've partnered with leading buyers of carbon removal credits, including as the largest biochar carbon removal supplier to Microsoft, to build a new type of business that helps farmers succeed while fighting climate change. Climate Robotics is a Series A stage company well-capitalized by top VC investors in climate tech, including Congruent Ventures, Grantham Foundation, and Microsoft Climate Innovation Fund.
The Role
We are looking for hands-on engineers to play a pivotal role in our pioneering technology. As part of our team, you will commission and operate our state-of-the-art mobile pyrolysis systems in customer fields across the Southern United States, converting agricultural residue into biochar directly in the fields. Your responsibility for their precise and efficient operation, ensuring optimal performance and strict adherence to safety protocols, is crucial to our mission.
Join our world-class team at the intersection of soil health and carbon removal, helping to build an entirely new industry in sustainable agriculture.
Key Responsibilities:
Operations:
- Operate mobile pyrolysis systems through customer fields and at stationary sites, providing high-quality residue to biochar conversion.
- Operate agricultural equipment & machinery.
- Maintain detailed records of operations, maintenance activities, and issues encountered.
- Perform routine maintenance, repairs, and troubleshooting on pyrolysis systems and ancillary equipment (e.g., tractors, forage harvesters, skid steers, conveyors)
- Take sample collections of soil, biomass, and biochar following correct procedures.
- Run lab analyses.
- Collect data and note observations in provided templates.
- Provide exceptional customer service through timely communication and addressing concerns.
- Promote a culture of safety by adhering to protocols and guidelines.
- Contribute to the upkeep of standard operating procedures.
- Adhere to project deadlines and meet deliverables.
- Demonstrate a quick and flexible approach to problem-solving.
Engineering:
- Monitor and interpret sensor data (temperatures, pressures, gas compositions) to maximize system efficiency.
- Assemble, test, commission, and troubleshoot prototype systems and electro-mechanical assemblies.
- Assist in designing, setting up, and optimizing conveyance and collection systems for stationary/edge-of-field biochar production.
- Diagnose equipment and machinery problems, document malfunctions, and identify preventative solutions.
- Interpret technical documents (diagrams, schematics, assembly drawings) for assembly, wiring, and installation of heavy electro-mechanical equipment.
- Participate in design reviews.
- Carry out failure investigations and root cause analysis. Draft reports on findings.
- Collaborate with the engineering team to identify improvements and implement best practices.
