About the role

  • BECCS is a carbon dioxide removal (CDR) approach that uses biomass to produce energy and remove CO₂ from the atmosphere and store it permanently underground, while ensuring food security, rural livelihoods, and biodiversity are not affected.
  • Our team brings together a passion for science, technology, and global stewardship to make low-cost, high-quality carbon removal and baseload power a reality.
  • This is an onsite opportunity in our El Segundo, CA office.

Responsibilities

  • Own thermal and heat transfer analysis for rotating and stationary turbomachinery components.
  • Develop and maintain secondary air system models, including cooling and sealing flow circuits.
  • Collaborate with aero, mechanical design, and systems teams to ensure robust thermal integration and operability.
  • Support transient thermal analysis for startup, shutdown, and off-nominal operating conditions.
  • Document results and methods in formal design memos and interface reports.
  • We build for tomorrow, ensuring every bolt we tighten and every hand we lend leaves our environment stronger than we found it.
  • This individual will own the development and integration of heat transfer and secondary flow models across the compressor, turbine, and combustor, enabling robust thermal boundary conditions, cooling flows, and clearance predictions.
  • You will work closely with aerodynamics, mechanical design, systems, and controls teams to ensure thermally integrated, operable hardware.
  • Solving global energy challenges requires a wide range of perspectives and experiences, and we are committed to building a team that reflects the world we serve.
  • Our hiring process is designed to be accessible, fair, and focused on the work that matters most for this role.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of experience in heat transfer and secondary flow analysis for turbomachinery (gas turbine, aero engine, sCO ₂, etc.).
  • Experience with thermal FEA, internal cooling design, and/or system-level secondary air system modeling.
  • Proficiency in tools such as ANSYS, CFX, Siemens Flowmaster, or equivalent.

Compensation

  • $150,000 - $175,000 USD/year.
  • The salary is subject to the applicant's skills, qualifications, experience, and geographic location.
  • Annual learning and development stipend

Benefits
