Job Description

Remora is hiring a Research & Development Intern who will onboard and support talent across our fast-growing company, all while helping to tackle the defining challenge of our time. 
We’re a 50-person climate tech startup based in Detroit, MI. We build a device that captures a semi-truck’s carbon emissions directly from the tailpipe. We sell the CO2 to end-users, and split that revenue with our customers, so our device pays for itself in just a couple years. 
We’re piloting our technology with some of the largest companies in the world, including three of the Fortune 10, and we’ve raised multiple rounds of funding from leading investors like Lowercarbon Capital, Union Square Ventures, and First Round Capital.

Responsibilities

  • Running adsorption-desorption experiments 
  • Building and testing device components
  • Integrating new components into existing prototypes
  • Using/learning engineering software
  • Ad hoc tasks to support the science and technology teams

Requirements

  • Current enrollment in a college engineering or science program.

Here’s what we value

  • You want to join a fast-paced, fast-growing startup.
  • You care deeply about reducing carbon emissions and building power for the historically excluded communities that will be most affected by those emissions.
  • You fully own projects, and you identify and solve problems through completion. 
  • You adapt to change, and you appreciate failures as learning opportunities, constructively sharing them with your teammates.
  • You improve your teammates’ performance through collaboration. You consistently pursue personal and professional growth for yourself and your teammates.
  • You voice respectful disagreement and provide high-quality constructive feedback. You’re an effective and active listener, and a clear and concise communicator.

Logistics

  • Location: Wixom & Livonia, MI
  • Start date: Winter 2023
  • COVID-19: Remora requires all employees to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19. Applicants are required to submit proof of vaccination before beginning employment. Appropriate COVID-19 safety precautions are implemented in the workplace.

Climate change disproportionately impacts communities of color, so we’re looking for candidates deeply committed to reducing emissions and to racial justice. We especially encourage people of color, women, and members of other communities historically excluded in startups to apply.
Research shows that women and people of color are less likely to think they are qualified for a position after reading a list of requirements like the one above. If you are worried that you are not qualified, please apply anyway! We’re most excited to work with people who learn quickly and want to tackle the climate crisis.
