****About Ebb:
Ebb Carbon is a climate and ocean-health restoration company. Our mission is to remove gigatons of CO2 from the air, while reducing ocean acidification to restore a healthier planet for generations to come. We remove carbon dioxide from the air by accelerating the ocean's natural ability to capture and durably store carbon dioxide. Our electrochemical approach reduces ocean acidity and has the potential to be one of the largest scale and lowest cost approaches to removing excess CO2.
About the role
As a skilled and Engineering Intern you will be responsible for the research, experimentation, modeling, designing, building, testing, and operating various aspects of a novel electrochemical system that enhances the ocean's natural ability to safely store carbon dioxide from the air, while reducing ocean acidity. You will participate in all stages of the design and development process from research; design, build and test; through installations and final commissioning. The ideal candidate will have superb technical, research and analytical capabilities with exposure to best designing, building and testing practices.
What You'll Do
- Work as part of a team to research, design, build, test and operate equipment and processes that support the Ebb system
- Model various processes for design and optimization (spreadsheet, python, etc)
- Set up tests/experiments, collect and methodically analyze data, and interpret results
- Work with and manage vendors to source subsystems and components
- Research and produce effective solutions to emerging problems
- Review component, and system designs with final product's overall performance, reliability and safety in mind
- Improve designs to meet requirements and to eliminate malfunctions
- Collect observations from operators and feedback from users
- Create product reports and documentation
What You'll Need
- Deep knowledge of core concepts and principles of mechanics, kinematics, thermodynamics, materials science, and fluids
- Excellent problem solving abilities as well as creative approaches to solving challenging problems with a balance of quantitative understanding of first principles and creative solution space
- Proficiency with SolidWorks and good practical experience with 2D or 3D engineering design and manufacturing tools (e.g., AutoCAD, ProE or similar)
- Good knowledge of mathematical computing and analysis tools, including Matlab, Excel, LabView or similar
- Ability to manage external vendors and fabricators
- Effective communication and presentation skills with strong technical writing ability
- A sense of humor
Bonus
- Bachelor's degree or higher in Mechanical Engineering, Physics, or similar
- Experience in design, construction and/or operation of pilot plants
- Experience with electrochemical systems
- Affinity for working with tools and has hands on experience with fabrication, instrumentation, and assembly of systems
