Electromechanical Technician / Technicien R&D électromécanique

About Dioxycle

Dioxycle is pioneering breakthrough carbon utilization technologies that convert industrial emissions into sustainable chemicals with unprecedented energy and cost efficiency.

By displacing fossil fuels for the production of key chemicals, Dioxycle has the potential to ultimately reduce over 800 million tons of CO2 per year, representing over 2% of the world's emissions.

At the core of our process is a novel "carbon electrolyzer", a machine capable of using just electricity and water to convert carbon emissions back into valuable everyday essential chemicals.

Our team is innovating across chemical, mechanical and system engineering to turn carbon transformation into an economically feasible, industrial reality through this completely novel technological approach.

Having completed our industrial‑scale electrolyzer prototype, we are now working with our chemical and downstream offtakers toward first‑of‑a‑kind plant deployment and subsequent commercial roll‑out.

We are supported by world‑class funders including Bill‑Gates‑founded Breakthrough Energy Ventures, Lowercarbon Capital and Gigascale Capital and have raised $40M to date.

We operate from two centers in Paris and California (so whether you are passionate about outdoors or good food/art scenes, we have a location for you to join!).

Your Mission

Dioxycle is seeking a hands‑on Electromechanical Technician to join our systems team.

You'll be working directly on the systems that operate our electrolyzer stacks in a hands‑on role assembling, maintaining and troubleshooting automated test benches.

You will apply mechanical, electrical, and software skills in your every day work, contributing to continued improvement and operation of our extensive electrolyzer test systems.

Key Responsibilities

• Program and maintain PLC‑based control systems (Beckhoff) on our lab and field electrolyzer units.
• Wire, install, and troubleshoot sensors, actuators, and electrical panels.
• Troubleshooting and maintenance of test benches, including instrumentation and controls.
• Testing and validation of the sub‑systems through the implementation of test protocols.
• Implementation and tuning of PID controllers.
• Writing of documentation.
• Benchmark suppliers and contact them.
• Maintain inventory and improve the inventory system.
• Abilities and expertise we are looking for
• Diploma (e. g. DUT) or degree in electrical engineering, automation, or a related field - or equivalent hands‑on experience.
• 1+ years of experience (internships/apprenticeships and personal projects all count, however, candidates with more experience are warmly encouraged to apply).
• Some exposure to PLC programming (Beckhoff, Rockwell, Siemens, or Schneider - any is fine; you’ll learn Beckhoff on the job).
• Familiarity with electrical panel design and reading wiring diagrams.
• Hands‑on experience with sensors, actuators, and basic electronics troubleshooting.
• Comfortable using an oscilloscope and basic electronics measurement tools.
• Mindset we are looking for
• Exemplary work ethic and self‑driven attitude: you get things done fast and to a high standard and you don't drop the ball.
• "Street‑smart": you don't take no for an answer and will figure out a way to solve anything with the means available.
• Commitment to the mission and ambition and to creating a kind, high‑performance and fun atmosphere at work (100% on‑site role).
• Passion for innovation and problem‑solving attitude.
• Dedication to investing time and effort for the betterment of the team.
• Going the extra 20% that makes a good deliverable into an outstanding deliverable.
• Humble, low‑ego and curious.
• What we have to offer
