Department Summary

The Institute for Carbon Management (ICM) is a cross-campus technology-translation entity at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA).

ICM translates pioneering carbon management solutions from the (laboratory) bench-scale to pre-commercial / commercial-scale devices, prototypes, and (software) solutions.

ICM's activities span two major focus areas : (1) Technologies for carbon dioxide removal (from the atmosphere), utilization, and avoidance, and (2) Technologies for creating new supply chains, and processing approaches for critical materials and elements (e.

g., Li, Ni, Co, Mn, Mo) that are foundational to accelerating the clean energy transition, as well as reducing the carbon footprint of extractive processes.

ICM is organized into action teams that are convergent, agile, and world-class. Prominently, these action teams have enabled ICM-born technologies to be awarded the NRG COSIA Carbon XPRIZE, and the 2021 Liveability Challenge, among others.

ICM's technologies are now being commercialized via spin-out companies including CarbonBuilt Inc., Concrete-AI Inc., and Equatic Inc.

Position Summary

The Insitute for Carbon Management is seeking Chemical Process Engineers to join a multi-disciplinary team of engineers and scientists developing carbon removal technologies to be commercialized on a global scale.

The process engineer will be responsible for design, development, and optimization of process and plant design, across scales (bench, pilot, commercial) and ensuring successful operation while adhering to all applicable safety and environmental standards and regulations.

The position will collaborate closely with broader teams of diverse subject matter experts, who are impact- and schedule-driven and results-focused.
