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 Process Engineer to support the design and optimization of our novel DAC technology.
The role is well-balanced between experimental (50%) and simulation (50%) duties.
You will lead the development of our process optimization methods based on process simulations. It implies building a process vision of our DAC technology to effectively optimize our aggressive targets for energy consumption (kWh/tCO₂) and capture cost ($/tCO₂).
This is a pivotal role in the organization, bridging between the R&D team and the engineering team.
Concretely, he/she will be in charge of:
