About the role
About Duranium
We’re working to produce the most profitable light-weight metals in the world, here in the US, and carbon neutrally. We’re doing this by leveraging existing chlorination and electrolytic technology, while designing a novel molten materials process that takes byproducts from the metal production process and creates critical feedstock and high value coproducts. We are currently building out our pilot plant in Oakland.
What’s in it for you?
You’ll be working with a small team of smart, creative people who are looking to change how the US produces industrial materials and to eventually decarbonize these industries. You will have the opportunity to make an immediate impact on day one. If you are driven by impact and eager to build real world solutions, we encourage you to connect with us.
Role Overview
We're hiring for a Process Engineering Technician position. In a typical day, you might the spend morning troubleshooting a pressure leak and welding a pipe fitting to replace a faulty connection. In the afternoon you might be staffing the controls station and transferring molten metal. As we grow, the role will transition from novel assembly toward optimizing operation. We want people who are comfortable switching hats.
What you'd do
- Chemical systems: assembling and operating a wet & dry scrubbers, calibrating instruments (e.g. ORP sensors), swaging tubing runs, installing compressed gas cylinder infrastructure.
- Mechanical build-out: welding steel fittings, bending and laying pipe, building ceramic assemblies, pouring castable ceramics for in-house molds, assembling t-slot enclosures.
