Full Job Description

## Description About Ammobia Ammobia is on a mission to revolutionize the ammonia industry. We are a seed-stage startup developing Haber Bosch 2.0  – a next-generation ammonia synthesis process enabling cost-effective, clean ammonia production. Until now, ammonia production has been a highly polluting, steady-state, high inertia process. We are developing new regimes of physics and plant design that require dynamic processes, especially for ammonia production from intermittent renewable energy sources. Clean ammonia will support ammonia’s growing role in our decarbonized world, tackling some of the most difficult to abate sectors including chemicals, fertilizers, and heavy-duty transportation. We are supported by leading climate tech organizations including Starlight Ventures, Collaborative Fund, Third Derivative, Forbes 30u30, and more. ## Job Description Ammobia is seeking a do-it-all engineering technician with a bias towards action and rapid design cycles. You have industrial experience in chemicals, energy systems, aerospace, or other dynamic fluid systems. You will build, wire, assemble, maintain, and operate a pilot-scale reactor system. You are comfortable getting your hands dirty, building from scratch, and identifying where to bring in outside vendors/engineers. You are comfortable working on pilot-scale machinery with little supervision.There will be significant opportunity to grow your role with the company. Responsibilities may include: Assembly, disassembly, upkeep and maintenance of Ammobia’s pilot plant. Install power and signal wiring within control panels and between control panels and field instrumentation, and for other controls and electrical subsystems as needed. Assemble, leak check, disassemble Swagelok tube fittings, NPT threaded fittings, Grayloc clamp fittings, and other process connections as needed. Commission pilot plant equipment alongside engineers, including electrical and controls tasks such as loop checking, instrument calibrations
