Yama is tackling the greatest challenge of our time: Climate Change. Our mission is to congrubte removing 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 innovated a game-changing approach that integrates two CO2 desorption technologies, breaking through 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, France, our leadership team—CEO Aurélie Gonzalez and CTO Valentin Fougerit—are driving this bold climate mission forward.
Join us to help build a tech-driven solution to save the planet.
Yama is looking for a Lab Manager to contribute within the R&D team in the development of its DAC technology.
The role will be actively leading/operating the analytical services and conducting experimental work on DAC setups in cooperation with the R&D team. Over time and after knowledge transfer, the role will grow and further develop into the Experimental Methods across the entire lab R&D.
Critical to the role will be common sense, hands on operation, organization, and maintaining safety.
Concretely, you will be in charge of:
This role works closely with R&D scientists and external partners. You will report to the R&D Lead and interface regularly with the CTO.
