Come and do your life’s work - Why we do what we do
Phlair unleashes CO2's potential through breakthrough innovation. We rapidly deploy Direct Air Capture technology, facilitating the removal and reuse of CO2 at scale. 
 
For decades, fossil fuels served as the backbone and feedstock of our economy – with the downside of polluting our atmosphere. We invert this equation by developing a cost-efficient and scalable electrochemical Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology. We have cracked the nut here by developing a breakthrough hydrolizer for acid/base regeneration, allowing us to capture CO2 from ambient air for either permanent storage or as a precursor for CO2-negative chemicals. For this, we collaborate with leading customers like Frontier Climate, Stripe, Shopify and Klarna.  
 
We are looking for highly ambitious and motivated individuals who are ready to work their a** off to have a lasting impact on the planet. Your ideas will set the foundation and shape the future of our company. 
 
At Phlair we're committed to create a high-performing and inclusive environment where every voice is heard and valued: You can find more on our culture here
 
Join our team of world-class scientists, engineers and passionate entrepreneurs. All qualified applicants are given fair consideration and women are strongly encouraged to apply - Come as you are!

  • You are skilled in modeling and the simulation of power systems, including control loops, and dynamic load responses

Soft skills that are necessary
  • You can collaborate and cross-disciplinary communicate complex technical phenomena in German and English
  • You are a simplifier and able to bring structure to chaos
Great to have, but optional
  • You gained experience with engineering and optimization of Power-to-X systems

Here is our website, we recommend you check the career page! A great read are also the TechCrunch article on our technology and a piece by our lead investor Extantia on the future of DAC.  
 
We are the first EU and German DAC company to be selected by Frontier Climate. Frontier is a buyers' club for high quality carbon removal credits, i.e. a certificate validating the permanent (for >1,000 years!) and additional (to natural processes) removal of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere, thereby curbing global warming.  
 
Benefit and grow from our network: You will have access to an extensive group of leaders. We can provide 1-to-1 mentoring with investors, engineering advisors or our business angels from startups, consulting and industry.
