Full Job Description Department Summary:

The Institute for Carbon Management (ICM) is a cross-campus technology-translation entity at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). ICM translates pioneering carbon management solutions from the (laboratory) bench-scale to pre-commercial/commercial-scale devices, prototypes, and (software) solutions. ICM's activities span two major focus areas: (1) Technologies for carbon dioxide removal (from the atmosphere), utilization, and avoidance, and (2) Technologies for creating new supply chains, and processing approaches for critical materials and elements (e.g., Li, Ni, Co, Mn, Mo) that are foundational to accelerating the clean energy transition, as well as reducing the carbon footprint of extractive processes. ICM is organized into action teams that are convergent, agile, and world-class. Prominently, these action teams have enabled ICM-born technologies to be awarded the

NRG COSIA

Carbon XPRIZE, and the 2021 Liveability Challenge, among others. ICM's technologies are now being commercialized via spin-out companies including CarbonBuilt Inc., Concrete-AI Inc., and SeaChange Inc.

Position Summary:

ICM is seeking an experienced engineer to join its latest cutting-edge action team with the potential for carbon removal at a global scale. This position will work on novel electrolyzer for hydrogen generation and mineral precipitation for use of carbon dioxide avoidance. The ideal candidate drives technological innovation and novel engineering design and desires involvement with growing a technology from prototype to functional pilot plant and beyond. The position will collaborate closely with a team of dedicated individuals who are impact-driven and results-focused.

Salary & Compensation:
