Interest

Carbon Lock Tech is developing next-generation biomass pyrolysis systems to remove and permanently store carbon. Our technology is designed, built, tested, and operated entirely in-house, giving our team full ownership of the engineering lifecycle.

We are looking for those interested in joining a highly motivated and dedicated team driven by a shared commitment to building something meaningful. We value people who embrace positivity and who bring a solutions-oriented attitude to work each day. We value those who are curious, who identify problems and challenges and who focus on finding innovative answers and solutions. This is an environment for individuals who take ownership, support their teammates, and maintain energy and momentum even when the work is challenging.

Position Overview

We are currently taking expressions of interest for engineers and technicians who thrive in an environment where no two days are the same. This is not a narrow, desk-only role—you will wear multiple hats across design, fabrication, installation and live system operation. You will work directly on reactor systems, contribute to active R&D, and help push technology from prototype to commercial deployment.

Key Responsibilities

Design & Build

  • Create and update CAD models, drawings, and P&IDs

  • Contribute to mechanical and process design of evolving reactor systems

  • Perform practical engineering calculations and make real-time design decisions

  • Rapidly prototype, test, and iterate on new ideas

Fabrication & Commissioning

  • Build, assemble, and modify mechanical, piping, and electrical systems

  • Work hands-on with tools and shop equipment daily

  • Support installation and commissioning of new systems and upgrades

Operate, Test, Improve

  • Run and troubleshoot pyrolysis systems and supporting equipment in real time

  • Execute test campaigns, iterate quickly, and adapt based on results

  • Diagnose issues using system data (temperature, pressure, flow, gas composition) and fix problems hands-on

Controls, Electrical & Instrumentation

  • Install, wire, and troubleshoot sensors and instrumentation

  • Work directly with PLCs—debugging, modifying logic, and integrating new components

  • Configure control systems, communications, and data acquisition

  • Build and modify electrical panels and field wiring

Move Fast & Wear Multiple Hats

  • Shift between roles: one day designing, the next day wiring, the next operating the system

  • Take ownership of problems and drive solutions end-to-end

  • Contribute to a culture of rapid iteration, continuous improvement, and accountability

Data & Continuous Improvement

  • Collect and analyze operational data

  • Identify inefficiencies, failure modes, and performance limitations

  • Implement practical, immediate improvements to system performance and reliability

Safety

  • Work safely in a hands-on industrial environment

  • Follow safe work practices and maintain a clean, organized workspace

Who We’re Looking For

  • Background in engineering or technical fields (mechanical, process, electrical, mechatronics, or similar)

  • Strong hands-on capability—comfortable building, wrenching, wiring, troubleshooting, and operating prototype equipment

  • Experience in pyrolysis, thermal systems, or related process design and operation is an asset

  • Highly adaptable, self-driven, and willing to take on whatever the problem requires

  • Comfortable working in ambiguity and moving quickly with technical challenges requiring innovative solution, often with incomplete information

  • Motivated by desigining and building real hardware and solving real-world problems

Why Join Us

  • Work on real hardware, real systems, and real climate impact

  • Full exposure to the lifecycle: design → build → test → operate → scale

  • High ownership and responsibility from day one

  • Fast-paced, no-red-tape environment where ideas get built quickly

  • Be part of a small, driven team pushing technology forward

Questions and Answers

  • We’re a mission-driven, fast-moving team building carbon removal technology. Expect hands-on work, cross-functional collaboration, and plenty of opportunity to create, innovate and build solutions.

  • People who are curious, innovative, and motivated by challenge. We value those that initiative and propose solutions to problems they’ve identified. Glass half full all the way!

  • We have a low-ego, high-ownership, make-it-happen culture. We prioritize taking initiative, solving problems and delivering on our mission.

  • Not necessarily. We value transferable skills from adjacent fields (agriculture, waste management, energy, material sciences) and a strong willingness to climb learning curves.

  • We hire across engineering, research, operations and business. Experience in cleantech startups or applied reserach & development is a strong asset.
