Connecticut Innovations (“CI”) is Connecticut’s strategic venture capital arm, and we are passionate about serving our portfolio of 220+ companies across various industries, with strengths in life sciences, technology, and climate tech.


Come join one of our quickly growing portfolio companies, Home | CREW Carbon


Crew Carbon Overview


We are a venture-backed, early-stage company developed at Yale University, commercializing research conducted by Prof. Noah Planavsky and Dr. Joachim Katchinoff to utilize key biogeochemical reactions to make positive climate impact while making wastewater treatment more effective. We use our patented technology to enhance the natural power of minerals to help treat wastewater and store carbon dioxide permanently using a low-cost solution combined with best-in-class monitoring and modeling for the robust quantification of CO2 removed. Our approach can provide millions of dollars in chemical cost savings, new revenue streams, and significant climate impact to the wastewater sector. CREW is currently deployed in the US and Germany, with new projects launching across the world.


We are funded by Counteract, ReGen, Ponderosa, Connecticut Innovations and others. We've secured large contracts with the premier buyers of carbon credits through the Frontier Climate Fund (Stripe, Shopify, Autodesk, McKinsey, among others) and have been selected by the Department of Energy as one of the few potential suppliers of high-quality carbon credits to the federal government.


About the Role


The Carbon Removal Engineer/Scientist is essential to the research and development of CREW's carbon removal systems. The role will involve designing and conducting independent research and experiments in the laboratory and field. The primary goal of this role is to further scientific and engineering know-how on CREW technology. During this work, the Carbon Removal Engineer/Scientist will be responsible for carbon removal operations in all scales of development, from bench to pilot to demonstration. Location will be in-person in either the office, laboratory, or field.


Responsibilities


  • Continued evaluation of multiple measurement pathways for quantifying positive carbon removal and environmental impact, focusing on the sensing and monitoring of multiple environmental parameters in aqueous and solid phases.
  • Perform detailed chemical analyses using advanced analytical techniques (e.g., ICP-MS, GC-MS, HPLC) to measure concentrations of key compounds and trace elements.
  • Develop, optimize, and validate analytical methods for the characterization of complex environmental samples, ensuring compliance with industry standards and protocols.
  • Conduct field and lab operations such as sample collection, analysis, and interpretation
  • Lead testing and troubleshooting of field deployed systems
  • Drive new ideas through stages of research, experimental design, proof-of-concept, and scale up
  • Lead data visualization and basic modeling using excel, python, or matlab
  • Aid in implementation, testing, and troubleshooting of carbon removal measurement systems
  • Prepare and evaluate technical plans, reports, presentations and proposals to support new and ongoing projects
  • Collaborate with the broader R&D team to effectively communicate ideas and results
  • Follow all safety protocols and maintain a clean and organized laboratory and field environment


Required Qualifications


  • MS or PhD in relevant scientific discipline or engineering: geochemistry, environmental science, chemistry, chemical engineer, environmental engineer
  • 3+ years of relevant project or wet laboratory experience
  • Strong communication and writing capabilities
  • Capable of lifting up to 15 lbs
  • Startup mindset where adaptability, creativity, agility, and execution are keys to success
  • Strong desire to fight climate change


Bonus Qualifications


  • Completed or currently undergoing postdoctoral work
  • 2+ years field experience deploying technology at pilot or commercial scales
  • Experience in early stage startup
  • Proficiency in modeling software for reactive transport or geochemical modeling(python, Matlab, Geochemist’s Workbench, PHREEQC, etc)


While we are looking for someone with these skills, you do not need to have all the listed qualifications to be a great addition to our team. Please reach out if you have any of the listed qualifications, are eager to learn new skills and be involved in the climate tech space, and have solid design, science/engineering, and problem-solving skills.


Compensation


The annual salary range for this position is competitive and will depend on many factors including experience, education, and expertise. We offer a competitive benefits package with insurance, vacation, retirement, and equity options.


Why Work At Crew Carbon?


  • According to recent research, the global water and wastewater treatment market size was valued at $323+ billion in 2023 and is projected to grow to $617+ billion by 2032; North America dominated the water and wastewater treatment market with a market share of 38.67% in 2023.
  • According to McKinsey & Company, the carbon removal (CDR) market could become a trillion-dollar industry, potentially reaching up to $1.2 trillion by 2050, highlighting the significant economic opportunities within this emerging sector.
  • We utilize the extensive infrastructure present in wastewater treatment systems to provide robust, empirical, and durable carbon dioxide removal through enhanced weathering, while delivering process benefits to our partners; our process was patented while at Yale University, with patents granted by the US Patent Office and global filings already in place.
  • We have assembled a team of experts in climate and wastewater, and we are supported by expert partners (Pacific Northwest National Labs, Department of Energy, Carbon to Sea Initiative, Yale University)
  • We have completed a successful pilot and have built many thousands of tons of CDR capacity, with several new deployments coming online in Q32024


Highlights


  • CREW has won a large carbon credit contract with the premier buyer of carbon credits, the Frontier Climate Fund in Winter 2022
  • CREW was selected as 1 of 24 companies by the US Department of Energy in 2024 to be a potential supplier of high-quality carbon credits to the federal government, who could be one of CREW's largest carbon credit buyers.
  • CREW was highlighted as an “Innovation of the Month” by United States Senator, Chris Murphy.
  • CREW was selected by ImagineH2O, the leading water sector innovation accelerator.
  • CREW was highlighted by Business Insider as “One of the Most Promising Climate-Tech Startups of 2023.”
