Description
🌍 Shape the Future of Climate Tech with Phlair!
Fossil fuels have powered our economy for decades—at the cost of pollution and a changing climate. At Phlair, we’re reversing that equation. With our cost-efficient, scalable electrochemical Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology, we pull CO₂ from the air to either store it permanently or repurpose it into CO₂-negative chemicals. Join us in enabling a carbon-negative future.
🚀 WHY WE’RE DIFFERENT?
We’ve developed a breakthrough hydrolizer for acid/base regeneration, enabling scalable CO₂ capture. With partners like Frontier Climate, Stripe, and Shopify, we’re on track to make a global impact.
Our Project Dawn is our flagship initiative, setting the foundation to scale our technology and remove millions of tons of CO₂ from the atmosphere. We're one of the only seven DAC companies with a proven offtake agreement. Phlair is poised to become a technology leader, leveraging renewable energy and low-cost DAC to provide clean energy solutions that go beyond carbon removal.
🛠️ YOUR MISSION AT PHLAIR
- IoT & Data Infrastructure: Build and manage the pipeline capturing data from our Beckhoff PLCs via OPC-UA and other fieldbus technologies.
- Database Mastery: Structure and maintain the databases (e.g., InfluxDB, PostgreSQL) that store our experimental data, ensuring it is clean and scalable.
- Visualization & "Deep Insight" Tools: Own our Grafana stack. Create intuitive dashboards that allow our scientists to compare different experiments in a highly visual and seamless fashion.
- Full-Stack Automation: Develop internal tools and AI-enabled workflows (using Python or Claude Code) to automate the transition from raw experiment to reported insight.
System Reliability: Take responsibility for the health of our data flow from the sensor level to the cloud—no data gaps, no downtime.
🥼 WHAT YOU BRING TO THE TEAM
- Education: Currently enrolled or completed studies in Computer Science, Mechatronics, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field.
- The "Control" Toolkit:
- Proven experience with Databases and Grafana.
- Understanding of IoT architectures and industrial protocols (OPC-UA / Beckhoff PLC experience is a massive plus).
- Proficient in Python for data processing and automation.
- High Ownership: You thrive in unstructured environments. You don't wait for a manual; you write it.
- Attention to Detail: You understand that in hardware-software integration, the smallest configuration error can invalidate weeks of testing.
- Commitment: Available on-site for at least 6 months.
- Adaptability: You will get pulled in to side quests often when hands are needed, especially in mechanical build out
- Bridge the Gap: You possess the ability to translate complex scientific requirements into robust technical specifications. You listen to the needs of the lab and deliver solutions that solve their specific pain points.
