Senior Electrochemist

Join Senior Electrochemist role at DioxycleAbout DioxycleDioxycle is pioneering breakthrough carbon utilization technologies that convert industrial emissions into sustainable chemicals with unprecedented energy and cost efficiency. By displacing fossil fuels for the production of key chemicals, we have the potential to reduce over 800 million tons of CO₂ per year, representing over 2% of the world’s emissions.At the core of our process is a novel "carbon electrolyzer", a machine that uses only electricity and water to convert carbon emissions back into valuable everyday chemicals. Our team is innovating across chemical, mechanical, and system engineering to make carbon transformation an economically viable, industrial reality. Having completed our medium‑scale proof‑of‑concept electrolyzer, we are now building a first‑of‑its‑kind large‑scale industrial prototype and assembling key partnerships for future commercial roll‑out.We are supported by world‑class funders including Lowercarbon Capital, Breakthrough Energy Ventures, and Gigascale Capital and have raised $37 M to date. We operate from two centers in Paris and California.MissionDioxycle is seeking a dynamic Senior Electrochemist to join our team during this pivotal transition from R&D to industrial piloting.
