We are SkytreeSkytree enables a transition to a world with cleaner Air for everyone. We do this by developing and deploying smart technology that captures atmospheric carbon dioxide, enabling its use or storage to combat climate change and aid society and businesses around the world. Born out of the European Space Agency (ESA), we are a global team of highly talented scientists, engineers and business professionals, supported by an experienced management team. Our working culture is based on a dynamic and smart approach to business with an open and understanding attitude to others and a desire to expand the boundaries of what is possible. As we enter a new phase of growth, we are looking for a Test &amp; Commissioning Engineer to continue on this journey with us.Your role As a Test &amp; Commissioning Engineer, you will be a vital member of the Product, Design, and Development team (Technology organization), serving as the bridge between internal engineering and successful field deployment. This role requires a balanced expertise in both structured in-house hardware testing and specialized industrial commissioning. You will collaborate closely with other engineering teams to develop mature testing methodologies, interpret complex electrical diagrams, and coordinate with PLC engineers to validate system logic against physical performance. Operating with a high level of autonomy, you will lead both internal Factory Acceptance Tests (FAT) and on-site Site Acceptance Tests (SAT), ensuring our CO2 capture units meet rigorous performance and safety standards. While this position involves periodical travel to project sites, you will be equally rooted in the development cycle, influencing design for testability to ensure seamless transitions from lab to field. All of this takes place within the context of industrialising our very first commercial product, which will be brought to the market throughout this year. This comes with the unique opportunity to have a direct impact on the success of Skytree. Curious?
