The Scientist I will contribute to the R&D of Sublime's electrochemical cement manufacturing process through experiments and data analysis.
Sublime is advancing a breakthrough, clean, efficient, low-waste process for manufacturing cement, the essential ingredient in the most-consumed human-made material on Earth: concrete. Replacing 200-year-old manufacturing methods that are reliant on kilns running hotter than lava, our near-ambient-temperature, electrochemical technology manufactures industry-accepted cement and critical minerals. We’re partnering with leading general contractors, concrete producers, developers, and technology hyperscalers to deploy our clean, durable, beautiful Sublime Cement® in infrastructure that is defining the future of clean construction. Backed by some of the world’s largest cement producers, leading private investors, and the U.S. Department of Energy, we are assembling a talented, collaborative team that is "amped about cement" (pun intended) and committed to operating on the frontiers of material science, manufacturing, industry, construction, and commercial partnerships, to advance cement innovation that will endure for the next millennium.
Sublime Systems seeks a Scientist I for our Process R&D team to contribute to the development of our novel electrochemical cement manufacturing process. The Scientist I will be responsible for performing literature reviews, scientific and engineering calculations, designing experiments, executing experimental plans, analyzing data, and communicating results. This is an exciting opportunity transforming how the world makes cement.

- Performing lab experiments including synthesis and material characterization, analyzing data, and presenting results
- Developing and implementing new experimental methods and tools to validate and optimize the performance of Sublime’s process
- Ensuring that time and resources are used efficiently to consistently deliver results
- Contributing to the development of Sublime’s technology through literature reviews and scientific analysis
- Experience with aqueous precipitation processes, inorganic particle synthesis is a plus
- Presenting results
- Championing safety, especially in the development of experimental processes
- Helping to develop a supportive, innovative, and dynamic company culture
Knowledge and Skill Requirements:
- B.S. or M.S. in chemical engineering, materials science & engineering, or a related field, plus 0-2 or years of relevant work experience,
- Strong grasp of kinetics, thermodynamics, transport phenomena, materials chemistry fundamentals and statistical analysis.
- Familiarity physical and chemical characterization techniques for materials such as laser diffraction, TGA, XRF, XRD, optical microscopy, ICP-OES, BET, and/or SEM.
- The ability to effectively communicate technical information and concepts
- Excellent interpersonal skills to develop and maintain effective working relationships with all team members.
- Ability to pay close attention to detail, focusing on accuracy and quality, without losing sight of the bigger picture.
- Balance, perspective, and a good sense of humor.
