Rivan Industries () is a synthetic fuel company dedicated to decarbonising heavy industry. Our mission is to make synthetic fuel more affordable than fossil fuels and to sustain life on earth by sequestering CO2 underground.
We design and manufacture modular synthetic fuel plants that include a DAC system, an Alkaline Electrolyser, and a Sabatier Reactor, integrated with off-grid DC solar power and the European gas grid. Our business plan details our strategy. We recently deployed the UK's largest synthetic fuel plant and plan to expand this scale by 1000 times in the next two years.
We are seeking a Senior Mechanical Engineer to bring our designs to life and assist with the integration of our reactor and electrolyser systems. The role involves extensive work in condensing, cooling, plumbing, and system integration, requiring curiosity and urgency to overcome thermodynamic challenges in synthesizing H2 and CO2 into fuel.
Our goal is to reduce the levellised cost of methane to a point where drilling ceases and companies turn to sky mining for carbon. If you are passionate about making a tangible difference in the real world, surrounded by motivated colleagues doing impactful work with intensity, this opportunity is for you.
The role includes:
* Condensing gas streams to reactor specifications
* Gasket and cell design, including over-moulding and metal profiling
* Designing control programs for effective and safe pairing of production with off-grid DC solar
* Overseeing the design, manufacturing, construction, and deployment of the entire system
Core skills required:
* At least 5 years of professional experience
* Bachelor's or Master's degree in mechanical, aerospace, or a related field
* Fundamental understanding of thermofluids, heat and mass transfer, and chemical kinetics
* Proficiency in simulation and analytical modelling
* Experience in designing test setups, conducting experiments, and analyzing data
Additional specifics:
* Salary range of GBP70,000 to GBP90,000 depending on experience
* Significant share options as part of the early team
* In-person work at our headquarters in Bermondsey, South-East London
