Yama is tackling the greatest challenge of our time: Climate Change. Our mission is to remove 1 billion tons of CO₂ by 2050 through the development of the most energy-efficient and scalable Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology.
DAC is essential to limit global warming to 1.5°C, but current technologies are resource-intensive and unsustainable at scale. At Yama, we’ve developed a game-changing approach that integrates electrochemistry and low-grade heat regeneration, breaking thermodynamic and kinetic barriers to enable scalable and affordable CO₂ removal.
Founded in May 2023, Yama is a Delaware-incorporated spinout from Deep Science Ventures, supported by the Grantham Foundation and backed by top-tier US and EU investors. Based in Paris, our leadership team—CEO Aurélie Gonzalez, CTO Valentin Fougerit, and Head of Science Harry Macpherson—are driving this bold climate mission forward.
Join us to help build the scientific foundations of tomorrow’s climate solution.
We are seeking an exceptional Electrochemist to shape and scale-up a key part of our novel DAC technology: the electrochemical stack.
You will lead the development and design of our electrochemical unit, helping us unlock core scientific challenges to meet our aggressive targets for energy consumption (kWh/tCO₂) and capture cost ($/tCO₂).
This is a pivotal role at the intersection of chemistry, electrochemistry, and process innovation.
Concretely, he/she will be in charge of:
This development will be performed in partnership with external companies or R&D partners, such as but not limited to: electrochemical technology supplier, academic or private R&D group, membrane manufacturer, external experts…
