Full Job Description
## Description About Charm Our mission is to return the atmosphere to 280 ppm CO₂. We convert excess inedible biomass into carbon-rich bio-oil and inject it into underground storage for permanent carbon removal. At scale, we can use bio-oil to make fossil-free iron. Our carbon removal efforts began in 2020 with initial purchases from customers like Stripe, Shopify, and Microsoft. Since then, we’ve scaled to thousands of tons of carbon removal, grown to over a hundred employees, and established three locations in San Francisco, Colorado, and Louisiana. We're expanding our team of ambitious, creative, and hands-on problem solvers. We value psychological safety, collaboration, and continuous learning. We take calculated risks and treat mistakes as opportunities to improve. If you're excited about tackling big challenges, we encourage you to explore our company values. Come help us reverse climate change. Gigatons or bust! ## Resposibilities Design mechanical and electromechanical solutions for our next-generation production pyrolyzer, considering interfacing systems, operating requirements, operator experience, and ongoing service and maintenance needs. Scale our existing pyrolysis technology to higher machine throughputs while addressing new technical and plant requirements. Apply lessons learned from previous systems to develop first-of-their-kind test articles for our next-generation R&D pyrolyzer. Identify and troubleshoot mechanical system malfunctions and performance gaps, determine root causes, and implement corrective actions to restore system performance. Develop and execute test plans and commissioning campaigns, validating system performance before and after machine installation. Work closely with electrical, software, and mechanical engineers to integrate mechanical systems into the broader pyrolysis platform. Provide occasional on-call support for production operations, partnering with Engineering Technicians and Operations teams to resolve critica
