Software Development Engineer in Test

<h3>Background</h3> <p>The shipping industry is notoriously difficult to decarbonize, accounting for ~3% of global CO2 emissions. If it were a country, it would be the 6th largest emitter in the world (ranking just above Germany).</p> <p>Recent global regulations from the International Maritime Organization require ships to reduce their CO2 emissions by 40% by 2030, but there are currently no clean solutions available for them to do so. Alternative power sources like hydrogen, ammonia, methanol, and onboard batteries are still 10-20 years away from maturity for large ships and energy efficiency solutions can only reduce 5-10% of CO2 emissions.</p> <h3>About Seabound</h3> <p>Seabound captures CO2 emissions from ships.</p> <p>We are building a retrofittable device that traps the CO2 from a ship&rsquo;s exhaust gas. It has the potential to be one of the simplest, safest, and most affordable solutions for zero-emissions shipping.</p> <p>To date, we have proven the concept on land and tested our capture device on a 3200 TEU container ship. We have secured 6 letters of intent from major shipowners to purchase our systems, raised ~$7.5M USD from top investors including Lowercarbon Capital and Y Combinator, and won a competitive grant from the UK government in the Clean Maritime Demonstration Competition. We are now recruiting a Software Developer to join our engineering team to help optimize and scale this new category of maritime climate tech.</p> <h3>Roles and responsibilities</h3> <p>We are looking for a skilled and passionate Software Development Engineer in Test to join our existing engineering team. You will own testing and assist in integration of controls software that will run our carbon capture devices, from prototypes to production systems. This role includes a wide range of test automation and dev ops tasks and will contribute to the full life cycle of product development. Your work will directly prevent greenhouse gas emissions from entering the atmosphere and be instrumental in decarbonizing the shipping industry.
