I. Company introduction:

Yama is solving the biggest threat humanity ever faced: Climate Change with the ambitious goal to remove a billion tons of CO2 by 2050.

Yama’s purpose is to scale up, industrialize, and launch on the market the lowest energy consumption scalable Direct Air Capture technology.

DAC is a necessary technology to keep the Earth’s temperature below 1.5°C, but today’s processes would consume unsustainable quantities of energy, land, or water if deployed at the required scale. We are solving that.

The technology is based on a novel integration of two CO2 desorption technologies, which allows Yama to undercut the thermodynamic and kinetic limits of existing processes.

Yama is a spin-out from Deep Science Ventures and is funded by the Grantham Foundation for the Protection of the Environment, which was incorporated in May 2023. Yama currently operates in Paris, France.

II. Job General scope:

Yama is looking for a instrumentation and methods engineer intern in its R&D team to develop instrumentation on lab and pilot experimental DAC set-ups, and the subsequent analytical methods required.

The role will support the R&D team in the development of their experimental set-ups (gas-liquid absorption, electrochemistry, chemistry, data acquisition and automation), will the develop the experimental protocols to ensure data reliability and perform analytical measurements.

III. Main achievements/Missions/Objectives:

The main responsibilities of the Chemist intern would be to:

• Collect needs in coordination with the R&D team on the experimental set-ups (which perform CO2 capture)
