About UsAll across the world, from the azure pools of Turkey and Oman to the travertine terraces of Yellowstone, our planet quietly pulls carbon dioxide from the air and turns it to stone. For eons, Earth has relied on this process to balance its carbon cycle. What if it could be harnessed? What if we could do it faster, in larger quantities, and at a low enough cost to make it an effective tool in the fight against climate change?
At Heirloom, we are turning that into reality. We use the natural carbon capture properties of abundant minerals to pull CO2 from the air, and store it permanently underground. We come to work every day to slow climate change, and are united behind a single, common goal - to remove 1 billion tons of CO2 from the sky by 2035, and to not stop before we get there.
We bring together the precise recipe of science, technology, know-how, and strategy necessary to make low cost, high quality carbon removal a reality. If we're successful, we will directly mitigate climate change, build a world we can proudly hand over to our children and grandchildren, and catalyze an industry that will rival the largest the world has ever seen. If you want to change the planet, come join us.
Our Commitment to Diversity, Equity, and InclusionAs temperatures continue to rise, individuals from marginalized communities will face the harshest impacts of climate change. We believe wholeheartedly that building a diverse company is critical to Heirloom's success. To accomplish this, we've put recruiting, hiring and retaining individuals from underrepresented groups at the top of our priority list.
We encourage you to apply if you identify as Black, Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander, American Indian or Alaskan Native, Hispanic or Latino, LGBTQ+ – or with any other underrepresented group – even if you don't tick all the boxes in the description below.
Senior Controls Electrical EngineerCalling all trailblazing engineers! Are you ready to revolutionize the future of carbon removal technology with Heirloom? As a Senior Controls Electrical Engineer, you'll be at the forefront of developing our cutting-edge direct air capture technology. Your mission? To design the controls of custom Heirloom equipment that will shape and ultimately be used in our next-generation commercial plants, paving the way for a greener, more sustainable future.
Get ready to unleash your controls expertise, whether honed in the automotive industry, green energy companies, or elsewhere, to both architect and implement the controls for our thermal decomposition process. Dive deep into PLCs, low voltage electrical design, HMIs, and the intersection between controls and other disciplines such as mechanical, software, and process engineering to help us create a groundbreaking direct air capture facility unlike any other.
What You Will BringYour 5+ years of experience in controls engineering and electrical engineering are essential. Your knack for electrical design, power distribution, and plant automation will be invaluable assets to our team. Some experience in programming PLCs like Allen-Bradley (or Beckhoff) and your familiarity with Human Machine Interface (HMI) design on platforms such as Ignition is desirable.
Your knowledge of electrical design and US UL electrical standards will set you up for success in this dynamic role, especially when coupled with a commitment to help develop and hold true to best practices across electrical design and PLC programming.
