Description
About CURA
CURA is a Canadian climate technology company working to change how one of the world’s most essential materials is made. Cement is responsible for approximately 8% of global CO₂ emissions. Our mission is to eliminate those emissions by becoming the default technology for cement production everywhere.
Our electrochemical process splits limestone into lime and a pure stream of CO₂ for storage or use, with the potential to reduce emissions by up to 85% while lowering energy use and manufacturing costs. Designed to be retrofit-ready, it integrates with existing feedstocks, infrastructure and operations. CURA is working toward bringing a 30,000-tonne-per-year commercial demonstration facility online in 2028.
Led by experienced climate technology founders, we collaborate with cement producers, engineers, researchers and industry partners around the world to move breakthrough technology from the lab to industrial scale. We are building a team of curious scientists, inventive engineers and practical problem-solvers who enjoy tackling big challenges together. We combine scientific rigour with an entrepreneurial culture that values collaboration, creativity, learning and fun.
Safety is fundamental to how we work. CURA maintains a strong safety culture, and every team member completes occupational health and safety orientation and role-specific training.
The Role
As CURA’s Electrochemical Stack Design Engineer, you own the mechanical design of the stacks at the heart of our process. You will take our cell chemistry and turn it into multi-cell hardware that seals reliably, distributes flow and current evenly, survives aggressive electrolytes, and can be assembled, disassembled and rebuilt as the design evolves. We are looking for someone who has already designed electrolyzers, fuel cells, electrodialysis units or similar stacks, and who knows from experience why stacks leak, why cells underperform at the ends of a stack, and what changes when you go from five cells to fifty.
You will work side by side with our electrochemists, prototype technicians and external fabricators, and you will be one of the key people deciding how our core technology scales from lab cells to pilot stacks and toward the industrial hardware for our 30,000-tonne-per-year demonstration facility.
