About Us
Molten Industries' mission is to decarbonize the world's transportation and heavy industrial sectors. We are commercializing breakthrough technology to make high-quality, CO2-neutral graphite and hydrogen using only methane and electricity as inputs. Transportation (cars, trucks, ships, planes) and heavy industry (cement, steel, chemicals, fertilizer) currently make up over 40% of global CO2 emissions. Graphite is up to 25% of the mass of lithium-ion batteries used in phones, laptops, and electric vehicles. Battery-grade graphite and clean hydrogen can enable carbon-neutral or carbon-negative transport, shipping, fertilizer, steel, cement, and chemicals.
Molten started in 2021 out of a garage at Stanford and is backed by top-tier venture capital firms and a world-class advisory board. We believe in using our talents for the most meaningful work of our lives - mitigating the effects of climate change. We want to do the kind of work that you can write home about. The work that you'll tell your grandkids about. Engineering feats, growth miracles, and rock-solid, real-world change. At Molten we believe in dreaming big, working with urgency, and getting our hands dirty.
Join us in our effort to push the final frontier of decarbonization.
The Role
As a member of Molten's early team, you will build, operate, and maintain critical controls and data acquisition software and hardware on our pilot and demo systems that produce graphite and hydrogen using our proprietary technology. You will help build, operate, and test engineering systems as we scale from our pilot system to industrial plants. You will wear a variety of hats and are excited by work that spans mechanical, electrical, and software engineering. You are a scrappy self-starter with a bias to action. You enjoy being hands-on and building physical systems, and you are comfortable translating complex problems into achievable goals. You are eager to play a key role in the fight against climate change.
What you will do

• Code Human Machine Interface Software using Aveva and TwinCAT HMI programs.
• Program automated controls systems for methane pyrolysis systems for hydrogen production.
• Perform engineering calculations to validate equipment and tool designs.
• Work closely with a small technical founding team to push our hydrogen production technology from bench-top to industrial scale.
• Lead a team of controls technicians to deploy Beckhoff controls systems on production tools.
• Lead large scale data acquisition and automation development using best-in-class database and analysis tools.
• Lead development of production-scale controls systems with scalable, cost-effective architectures by working with established vendors, managing development of test systems at pilot scale, and deploying systems on production tools.

What you will bring

• Must hold a Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering, or foreign equivalent, and 6 months of experience as a Mechanical Engineer with experience using Aveva and TwinCAT HMI programs, Beckhoff controls systems, AWS, and Python.
