About UsQueens Carbon is pioneering breakthrough technology to efficiently produce carbon-neutral cementitious materials — without the green premium. Our patented manufacturing process, known as “The Instant Pot of Cement Manufacturing,” uses water to lower production temperatures, dramatically improving energy efficiency and cutting emissions. Backed by Breakthrough Energy Fellows, ARPA-E, world-class climate investors, and strategic partners, we’re proving that sustainability can be both economically viable and globally competitive.Position OverviewAs a Senior R&amp;D Scientist, you will be working within R&amp;D Product and Process Development team and specifically assist in building our product evaluation laboratory with emphasis on testing Supplementary Cementitious Materials (SCM) in mortars and concrete per ASTM standards. You will lead the product evaluation team and be responsible for concrete mix design, creating design of experiment, and performing experiments according to the standard protocols. You will take the lead in data analysis, process refinement, and creating bi-weekly reports that summarize your findings for the rest of the team. You'll also help us build our team and develop a friendly and healthy company culture.As our research progresses, we'll run into unique challenges, so a highly creative mind and love of dynamic problem solving is a must. You will have opportunities to grow into a leadership role, as well as branch out into other areas of the business.

industrial manufacturing and beyond. We&rsquo;re developing a novel hydrothermal process that dramatically reduces the energy needed to decompose carbonate minerals and allows for the capture of all CO2 produced during the reaction. This low energy solution for carbonate processing creates a commercially viable path for widespread carbon capture projects and carbon neutral cement production. At scale, this technology will enable gigaton-scale reductions in industrial CO2 emissions via avoidance and capture routes. Excited about cutting edge science, saving the environment, and want to have fun while doing it? Consider joining our team! https://queens-carbon.breezy.hr/?
