About Charm

Our mission is to return the atmosphere to 280 ppm CO₂. We convert excess inedible biomass into carbon-rich bio-oil and inject it into underground storage for permanent carbon removal. At scale, we can use bio-oil to make fossil-free iron.

Our carbon removal efforts began in 2020 with initial purchases from customers like Stripe, Shopify, and Microsoft. Since then, we’ve scaled to thousands of tons of carbon removal, grown to over a hundred employees, and established three locations in San Francisco, Colorado, and Louisiana.

We're expanding our team of ambitious, creative, and hands-on problem solvers. We value psychological safety, collaboration, and continuous learning. We take calculated risks and treat mistakes as opportunities to improve. If you're excited about tackling big challenges, we encourage you to explore our company values.

Come help us reverse climate change. Gigatons or bust!

About the Role 

  • As Charm matures our Injection Operations, we need an engineer that can help solve urgent production bottlenecks.

  • The engineering challenges cover a wide variety of disciplines, including chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, automation and controls, as well as a firm understanding of process safety.

  • You will be joining a growing engineering staff that partners with the injection operations team who is ultimately responsible for injecting our bio oil underground!  This role involves a unique combination of designing, testing, implementing, troubleshooting, and continuously improving process equipment, often with tight timelines.

  • You will work alongside fellow Charm engineering resources and injection operations team members to solve the company’s most pressing problems, and spend time in the field with our operators understanding the process and implementing creative solutions to make their work easier. 

  • Someone successful in this role will enjoy bringing new designs to life and helping to test and commission their new equipment. This person takes pride in delivering robust mechanical solutions that work in the real world, and loves stepping through the root cause analysis process when systems are not performing as intended. This person also takes an analytical approach to problem solving and is not afraid to step out of their comfort zone when tackling new problems.  A great attitude in the face of difficult and fast-paced environments is a must!
