Description

Who are we?

Svante is a rapidly growing clean energy technology company making commercial-scale carbon capture and removal a reality and enabling global industries to play offense in the fight against climate change that will accelerate the global transition to a lower-carbon economy.

The growing success of our company is owed to our commitment to our people, our emphasis on our values, and our innovative technology.

Passion is put into what we do every day.

Role:
Mechanical Failure Mode Scientist

As a Mechanical Failure Mode Scientist (MFMS) at Svante, you will play a crucial role in ensuring the stability and performance of our core technologies.

You will analyze data and collaborate with our characterization team and external partners to assess the mechanical stability of our core technologies and its impact on process performance.

Your expertise in material and mechanical analysis, combined with your ability to effectively manage complex programs, will be critical to the success of this role.

In this role, you will be responsible for creating and executing a comprehensive mechanical lifetime program, working closely with other scientists (e.g., Chemical Failure Mode Scientist) and specialists (e.g., Data Integration Specialist) to develop a thorough understanding of the lifetime of our core technologies.

You will support the optimization efforts of our sorbent, active material, structured adsorbent bed, and process teams, ensuring that our technologies deliver consistent, reliable results.

As the technical lead for our core technologies mechanical degradation and failure, you must be able to effectively communicate and collaborate with a large network of experts.

Your ability to deliver results in a cooperative, team-focused manner using a Lean culture will be essential.
