Acre has partnered with a publicly traded multi-billion-dollar startup that has piloted a first-of-a-kind energy production technology offering emission reductions greater than 90% of comparable technologies. Once fully commercialized, their technology will grant tens of millions of people across the world access to clean, reliable and low-cost energy.

​

Their Chief Innovation Officer is looking for a Senior R&D Engineer, Thermal Processes who will be wholly responsible for developing and executing elaborate research and development plans that will yield significant improvements to the team's current process simulation and design efforts.

​

This person will ultimately help them create a better product. Given you'd be reporting directly to the CIO, the level of impact you'd have on technology development is high, and you'd have widespread exposure to the entire technical organization. This is an opportunity to get immersed in all aspects of process development, and the timing to join could not be better.
