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:

The position consists of supporting the Engineering team, especially the Mechanical Engineer, in 2 main missions:

• Design and industrialize the production of the main equipment in Yama’s DAC process
• Support the Process Engineering leader in the FEED study for Yama’s first pilot plant (TRL 6)

This development will be performed under the guidance of the Mechanical Engineer in partnership with external companies, such as but not limited to: electrochemical cell manufacturers, equipment vendors, engineering contractor, …

The role belongs to the Engineering team and reports directly to the Mechanical Engineer.
