About Charm

Our mission is to return the atmosphere to 280 ppm CO₂. We convert excess inedible biomass into carbon-rich bio-oil and inject it into underground storage for permanent carbon removal. At scale we can use bio-oil to make fossil-free iron.

Our carbon removal pathway took off in 2020 with initial purchases from customers like Stripe, Shopify & Microsoft. Since then we’ve scaled to thousands of tons of carbon removal, over a hundred employees, and now have three locations in San Francisco, Colorado, and Kansas. Come join us in 2024 as we aim to become one of the first companies to put 10,000 tons of carbon back underground!

We’re looking to expand our team of ambitious creative and hands-on forward-thinking humans. We value psychological safety and collaboration. We take calculated risks and don’t sweep mistakes under the rug; instead, we pin them to the wall and learn from them. We value that everyone’s unique backgrounds and perspectives shape their work. We encourage you to read our company values.

Come help us reverse climate change. Gigatons or bust!

About the Role

We are looking for an engineering manager to support our pyrolyzer development.
We have several stages of pyrolyzer development planned to achieve gigatons of carbon dioxide removal, and we need a strong engineering manager who can help bring a team of engineers through each stage of that system development.
You will work with the other engineering leads in SF and CO to ensure that the metric we care about, $/tCDR, is minimized through design efforts.
You will play a key role in hiring cross-functional teams to execute on our engineering challenges.

Your Responsibilities:

Build out sufficient structure within the pyrolysis team to ensure that the most critical problems, attributing to increases in $/tCDR, are quickly and iteratively solved.
Work cross-functionally with other engineering leads in SF and CO, ensuring that design learnings are communicated widely and easily transferable to other stakeholders.
Hire a cross-functional team of engineers to design, build, test, and iterate on both our current pyrolyzer product and the future iterations of pyrolyzers that we have started to pencil out.

You Bring:

Bachelor’s degree in engineering management or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
Proven ability to lead a fast-paced cross-functional team through a myriad of different rapid design challenges requiring coordination across different skill sets (mechanical, electrical, controls, fabrication).
Strong technical skills to bring a new perspective to our fast-paced brainstorming environment of turning a current problem into several potential solutions.
A hands-on approach to design and iteration. You lean towards trying and testing something fast over spending hours in front of a computer.
An eagerness to learn about all aspects of the pyrolysis process and our current pyrolysis product, which can include over 10% travel to see our operations in CO.

Bonus, if You Bring:

Familiarity with thermal and chemical conversion processes.
Experience in industrial process development.
Previous experience working as an engineering manager in new product development or new product integration.

What We Offer

· Stock options

· Health benefits (medical, dental, vision)

· Traditional and Roth 401(k) with a 50% match on contributions up to 6%

· Paid time off, including parental leave
