Climate change is real and we need to act fast. Our purpose is to restore the carbon balance in our atmosphere. We believe it’s important to have a positive impact on society, the economy, and the climate. Are you ready to join us on our mission? 🌎

Role
Unfortunately, our beloved team member Ben (who’s with us for 3 years, so a true Carbyon-veteran!) decided to leave us as he and his girlfriend will emigrate to Norway. This means we’re looking for a talented Mechanical Engineer eager to join our engineering team. But be aware, this is not just a regular mechanical engineering role. If you’re looking for a role in which you’ll solely do CAD design; do not (!) read further.

Here's why; the engineering team at Carbyon is still relatively small. This comes with the unique opportunity to have a broadly oriented role. One moment you’ll drive the development of our next product by working on detailed design based upon given requirements (e.g. costs, manufacturability), while the other moment you’ll help out on upgrading one of our prototypes by working hands-on (heavy tooling doesn’t have any surprises for you).

While the project(s) you’ll work on vary over time, we can guarantee a broadly oriented role that comes with concepting, working on designs as well as literally rolling up your sleeves to build either new prototypes or upgrade/maintain our existing ones.

Do you consider yourself a jack of all mechanical trades? Then dive into your responsibilities!

Responsibilities
As you’ve read above, roles at Carbyon can be still pretty fluid. Despite, we’ve captured your responsibilities in three simple sentences;

• Take the lead on sub-projects, collaborating with key stakeholders both internal (e.g. Mechanical Architect) and external (e.g. VDL IM; our assembly partner) stakeholders.
• Bring your mechanical design from concept idea to production, while supporting your design decisions with concept evaluations and calculations.
• Regularly support hands-on. This can be in the context of upgrading/maintaining our existing prototypes or building new prototypes to prove certain concepts coming from the research team.

Why join us?
We are a purpose-driven team of international engineers, researchers, and business professionals. We do not get easily discouraged and we join forces to ensure our dream comes true. At the heart of it all, there are people inspired by our purpose: reversing climate change!

We offer you to

• Make a real difference in one of the biggest challenges of our time - reversing climate change.

• Share and implement your own ideas - we believe the best ideas can come from anywhere.
• Enjoy flexible working hours and the freedom to manage your work effectively - we trust you.
• Join the daily team walks at the inspiring High Tech Campus.
• Engage in monthly team events and activities such as jeu de boules or barbecues, fostering a strong sense of community.

Our ideal candidate is someone who

• Brings either a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering.

• Has at least 3 years of industry experience thanks to which you got acquainted with (at least) the following;

  o   You’ve been working on mechanical designs within a thermal and flow context. You’re able to look at your designs from multiple disciplines. 

  o   You bring a solid understanding of tolerance studies.

  o   You’ve been through the process of FMEA’s.

  o   You love the idea of rapid prototyping rather than old-fashioned product creation processes.

• Brings solid hands-on engineering skills (in you free time you’re a hardcore DIY’er).
• Thrives in a dynamic and collaborative team environment, demonstrating a proactive and adaptable mindset.
• Enthusiastically embraces our startup's mission and values, energized to contribute to our innovative and impactful journey.
• Lives within commuting distance from Eindhoven or is open to relocating - because that’s where our magic happens!
