Company Overview:
Found Energy is building clean energy delivery platforms capable of replacing fossil fuels for heavy industries ranging from aluminum production (4% of global CO2 emissions) to fertilizer production (2% of global CO2 emissions) to maritime shipping (3% of global CO2 emissions). Building off technology developed at MIT that enables metallic aluminum to split water, our energy delivery systems safely generate hydrogen and industrial heat on-site at >5x the volumetric energy density of liquid hydrogen and >3x that of methanol and ammonia. By integrating storage, transport, and generation into a single package, our technology solves some of the biggest pain points in renewable energy transportation and storage.
At Found Energy, we believe in securing a livable and equitable future for our planet, and we are looking for partners who are motivated by this goal to join us. For more information, visit https://found.energy.
Benefits Overview:
Health, dental, 20 days PTO, 11 holidays, 12 weeks paid parental leave, stock options, professional development budget, and more.
Job Overview:
Found Energy is seeking a talented Data Engineer with a minimum of 2 years of industry experience to join our Research and Development team. The ideal candidate will have a background in implementing data infrastructure for both backend and frontend using the cloud. They will have an appreciation for the unique infrastructural needs of a startup gathering data over a rapidly increasing quantity of physical hardware systems, including chemical reactors with numerous sensor inputs. They will also be passionate about enabling our team to make data-driven insights and decisions that inform our processes and system designs.
Having successfully developed core hydrogen generation technologies, including kW-scale power systems, Found Energy is now focused on scaling up reactor systems for both minimum viable product (MVP) and commercial pilot demonstrations. This endeavor involves designing and testing numerous sub-processes and sub-systems at industrial scale, as well as at various intermediate scales along the development path.
As a Data Engineer in this role, you will be responsible for implementing and owning robust data pipelines. You will design applications that run on these pipelines to monitor the performance of our reactors and supporting hardware, as well as generate diagnostic, descriptive, and predictive analytics for our commercial subsystems and routine bench-top experiments.
