Rivan Industries (Rivan.com) is a synthetic fuel company designed to decarbonise heavy industry. We aim to make synthetic fuel cheaper than fossil fuels and sustain life on earth by keeping the CO2 locked underground.
We’ve design and manufacture modular synthetic fuel plants consisting of a DAC system, an Alkaline Electrolyser, and a Sabatier Reactor, vertically integrating with off-grid DC solar and the European gas-grid. Here’s our entire business plan. We’ve recently deployed the UK’s largest synthetic fuel plant and are planning to 1000x this scale in the next 2 years.
Distilled down, the Rivan system is a large amount of stainless steel with a crazy amount of entropy. We must fight that entropy with great design and integration to drive down the costs and increase our ability to manufacture at scale. We’re looking for a talented Senior Mechanical Engineer to come and own one of our sub-systems to drive that forward, tasked with uncovering new ways of thinking about our system integration, performance and longevity. If you thrive on a lot of responsibility and tight deadlines, come and build!
The role: Own the design and manufacture of an entire Rivan sub-system
* This will be across our reactor, electrolyser and DAC modules, touching on cooling, heating, compression, mass-transport, fluidic, filtration, and many other sub-systems
* Iterate on original concept and own design reviews
* Own technical requirements, P&ID’s, PFDs and test plans
* Design test-rigs to validate underlying hypothesis quickly and cheaply
* Own the assembly, integration and commissioning of that sub-system
Core skills:
* 5+ years professional experience
* Bachelor’s or Masters in mechanical/aero or related field
* Fundamental thermofluids understanding, heat and mass transfer, chemical kinetics
* Simulation/analytical modelling competency
* Test setup design, running of experiments and data analysis
Specifics:
* £70-90k Salary depending on experience
* Significant share options as part of the early team
* In-person work at our HQ in Bermondsey, South-East London
* Extensive relocation support, including £6000 per year extra to live close to our HQ
