About Us
All across the world, from
the azure pools of Turkey and Oman to the travertine terraces of
Yellowstone, our planet quietly pulls carbon dioxide from the air and
turns it to stone. For eons, Earth has relied on this process to
balance its carbon cycle. What if it could be harnessed? What if we
could do it faster, in larger quantities, and at a low enough cost to
make it an effective tool in the fight against climate
change?
At Heirloom, we are turning that into reality. We use
the natural carbon capture properties of abundant minerals to pull CO2
from the air, and store it permanently underground. We come to work
every day to slow climate change, and are united behind a single,
common goal - to remove 1 billion tons of CO2 from the sky by 2035,
and to not stop before we get there.
We bring together the
precise recipe of science, technology, know-how, and strategy
necessary to make low cost, high quality carbon removal a reality. If
we’re successful, we will directly mitigate climate change, build a
world we can proudly hand over to our children and grandchildren, and
catalyze an industry that will rival the largest the world has ever
seen. If you want to change the planet, come join us.
As temperatures continue to rise, individuals from
marginalized communities will face the harshest impacts of climate
change. We believe wholeheartedly that building a diverse company is
critical to Heirloom’s success. To accomplish this, we’ve put
recruiting, hiring and retaining individuals from underrepresented
groups at the top of our priority list.
We encourage you to
apply if you identify as Black, Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander,
American Indian or Alaskan Native, Hispanic or Latino, LGBTQ+ – or
with any other underrepresented group – even if you don’t tick all the
boxes in the description below.
Are you a talented modeling and simulation engineer that enjoys using computational tools to solve hard problems? We are seeking a skilled Modeling and Simulation Engineer to join our world-class team of engineers, scientists, and designers to help develop and optimize our direct air capture process.
Joining the scaled systems equipment design team as a modeling & simulation engineer, your role will involve developing intricate Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) models, Design of Experiments (DOEs), and other simulations. Utilizing existing software and a deep understanding of engineering principles, you'll create both component-scale and large-scale models reflective of Heirloom’s direct air capture systems. Collaborating closely with design engineers, you'll iterate on design simulations to inform product design requirements. Additionally, you'll contribute to the design of platforms for model validation, conduct testing, and incorporate insights gained to enhance model accuracy and effectiveness.
What you will bringWe're looking for someone with a strong engineering background and experience in fluids modeling at small and large scales.
You're comfortable working with ANSYS Fluent and Ansys Spaceclaim/Discovery, and related simulation tools such as Ansys Mechanical, Ansys Rocky, etc. Bonus points if you have experience with multiphase flow modeling, species transport modeling, developing custom-built code using tools like Python, and/or creating reduced order models.
And, you're great at presenting technical data to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. If that's you, we'd love to hear from you!
This is an exciting opportunity for someone who is passionate about using simulation modeling to develop innovative solutions to combat climate change! If you are a team player who thrives in a fast-paced, dynamic environment, we encourage you to apply for this Modeling and Simulation Engineer position.
Our PrinciplesRadical Honesty means we are open, transparent, and inclusive in everything we do. We aren't scared to challenge each other, but bring clear motives and our best intentions when we do.
Persistent Optimism means we carry an infinite amount of optimistic energy with us on our journey, constantly chipping away at what may seem insurmountable.
Maximize our learning rate means we're always in discovery mode. Compounding knowledge is our key to victory - we continuously hone our crafts, seek the fastest paths to new learning, and are quick to absorb new knowledge.
Why you should join HeirloomWe are solving the engineering problem of our generation. Climate change is an existential threat, and we need as many of the world’s motivated minds as possible to help. There is no greater challenge or opportunity than fighting climate change.
We have done this before. We’re engineers, scientists, and concerned humans from a variety of backgrounds and experiences who are pooling our knowledge and skills to collectively build a more equitable, prosperous future for all.
We are a united, resilient, and optimistic bunch. We are all here for the same reason - to slow climate change. We recognize the magnitude of the challenge ahead of us, and believe we can solve it. We can see a hopeful future where we eventually reverse climate change. It won’t be easy, but we won’t quit.
We are backed by the best climate partners in the world. We’re well funded by investors from Breakthrough Energy Ventures, Ahren Innovation Capital, Carbon Direct, Microsoft, Lowercarbon Capital, ARPA-e and the National Science Foundation. Our early customers include Stripe, Shopify, and Klarna, and we’re building durable partnerships that enable us to tackle this decades-long problem.
Robust health coverage. Excellenthealth, dental and vision insurance covered up to 100% by Heirloom. FSA option.
Generous parental leave. 16 weeks paid leave for all Heirloom employees, regardless of primary/secondary caregiver status.
Generous stock options.
Flexible time off. Unlimited PTO for exempt (salaried) employees & 80 hours for full time non-exempt (hourly) employees.
401(k).
Stay healthy. Monthly health and wellness reimbursement.
Learn on the job. Robust annual education and conference budget, including airfare and hotel costs.
