With a rich experience of 14 years, you will join our pioneering efforts in Carbon Removal (CDR) to combat climate change by combining science, technology, and tradition. Alt Carbon, founded by Shrey and Sparsh Agarwal, focuses on Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) through Enhanced Rock Weathering (ERW) to address historic emissions in the atmosphere. Our operations in Darjeeling's heritage tea estates exemplify our commitment to climate action and sustainability. Your role will involve designing and validating mathematical models related to mineral weathering, geochemical fluxes, and carbon sequestration. You will work collaboratively with various teams to transform complex physical data into accurate CDR figures and contribute to the development of registry-grade carbon accounting methods. Key Responsibilities: - Designing and validating mathematical models for mineral weathering and carbon sequestration - Conducting uncertainty quantification and error analysis - Building Monte Carlo simulations and stochastic models for carbon accounting - Analyzing datasets from lab, field, and satellite sources - Supporting sampling optimization strategies - Collaborating with product and software teams for scientific integration - Contributing to technical publications and whitepapers Qualifications: - Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mathematics, Applied Statistics, Data Science, Physics, Environmental Engineering, Computational Sciences, or related fields - Experience in statistical modeling, error analysis, and simulation methods - Proficiency in Python or R for data analysis - Ability to understand and replicate scientific models and equations - Bonus: Familiarity with spatial data, environmental datasets, or climate modeling As a quantitative thinker, you will thrive in the complexity of real-world data, treating uncertainty as a solvable challenge. Your rigorous approach to modeling and data analysis will play a crucial role in influencing public policy, climate impact, and planetary systems. Join us in shaping the future of carbon removal science and making a meaningful impact on global climate change efforts.,
You will be joining Alt Carbon, a company focused on building high-quality carbon removal solutions with a farmer-first impact and a commitment to permanence and scale. As a hands-on pyrolysis specialist, your primary responsibility will be to design, optimize, and operate biochar production processes at an industrial scale. Key Responsibilities: - Contribute to plant design and commissioning to ensure scalability from pilot to commercial capacity. - Optimize pyrolysis processes for yield, energy efficiency, and carbon stability. - Assess pyrolysis technologies, equipment vendors, and partners to select the best-fit solutions. - Establish SOPs, ensure compliance with safety standards, and troubleshoot operational issues for smooth plant operations. - Monitor process data to support carbon credit measurement, reporting, and verification. - Explore co-products (syngas, bio-oil) utilization and drive process improvements. - Be hands-on at sites, ensuring smooth day-to-day operations, troubleshooting, and quick decision-making. - Mentor engineers/technicians to build a high-performance operations team. Requirements: - Bachelors/Masters in Chemical, Mechanical, or Process Engineering (or equivalent experience). - 5+ years of direct experience with pyrolysis, biomass conversion, or thermochemical processes. - Proven track record with biochar production and utilization of syngas/bio-oil. - Familiarity with plant operations, thermal systems, and safety standards. - Experience with instrumentation, control systems, and process monitoring. - Comfortable working in field conditions and willing to take full ownership of site execution. - Strong problem-solving mindset and thrives in small teams where adaptability and initiative are essential. In addition to the above responsibilities and requirements, in this role, you will have the opportunity to pioneer biochar-based carbon removal at scale.
