About Us
Molten Industries advances how people live, build, and move through innovative materials, chemicals, and fuels. We are commercializing breakthrough technology to make high-quality, CO2-neutral graphite and hydrogen using only methane and electricity as inputs. Transportation (cars, trucks, ships, planes) and heavy industry (cement, steel, chemicals, fertilizer) currently make up over 40% of global CO2 emissions. Graphite is up to 25% of the mass of lithium-ion batteries used in phones, laptops, and electric vehicles. Battery-grade graphite and clean hydrogen can enable carbon-neutral or carbon-negative transport, shipping, fertilizer, steel, cement, and chemicals.
Molten started in 2021 out of a garage at Stanford and is backed by top-tier venture capital firms and a world-class advisory board. We believe in using our talents for the most meaningful work of our lives - mitigating the effects of climate change. We want to do the kind of work that you can write home about. The work that you’ll tell your grandkids about. Engineering feats, growth miracles, and rock-solid, real-world change. At Molten we believe in dreaming big, working with urgency, and getting our hands dirty.
Join us in our effort to push the final frontier of decarbonization.
The Role
As a member of Molten’s early team, you will build, operate, and maintain critical tools, jigs, equipment, and reactors to produce graphite and hydrogen using our proprietary technology. You will help build, operate, and test engineering systems as we scale from our pilot system to industrial plants. You will wear a variety of hats and are excited by work that spans mechanical, electrical, and chemical engineering. You are a scrappy self-starter with a bias to action. You enjoy being hands-on and building physical systems, and you are comfortable translating complex problems into achievable goals.
