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. Our core technology is a novel "carbon electrolyzer"—an equipment capable of using electricity and water to convert carbon emissions back into valuable everyday essential chemicals. We are innovating across chemical, mechanical and system engineering to make carbon transformation commercially viable. After completing an industrial-scale electrolyzer prototype, we are working with chemical and downstream offtakers toward first‑of‑a‑kind plant deployment and subsequent commercial roll‑out. We operate from centers in Paris and California and have raised $40M with world‑class funders including Breakthrough Energy Ventures, Lowercarbon Capital and Gigascale Capital.

Your Mission

Dioxycle is seeking a hands‑on Electromechanical Technician to join our systems team. You will work directly on the systems that operate our electrolyzer stacks, assembling, maintaining and troubleshooting automated test benches.

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; more experience is encouraged)
• 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

• Humble, low‑ego and curious

What We Have To Offer

• Unique journey: an early‑stage company with a world‑class team and a flat structure
• Impact: building a product that reshapes century‑old industrial processes toward a more sustainable and resilient world
• People‑first culture: we love our people and are excited to see each other every morning at work; we choose people who choose us to share similar excitement
• Feedback over ego: we are self‑improving while helping others grow; we are no‑ego doers responsible for shaping the company
• International team: over 17 nationalities and many more soon
• Fun: cultivating a great work atmosphere and organizing regular team events
• Competitive compensation packages
• Generous Employee Stock Ownership plans
• Health insurance: medical, dental and vision coverage
• Ergonomic work stations and state‑of‑the‑art equipment

• An initial video call with Grace, Director of People, to discuss Dioxycle’s mission, get to know you, understand your career expectations, and answer your questions (30 minutes)
• Expert screening call with Peter, Head of Systems (30 minutes)
• Technical deep‑dive interview/case study with Peter, Head of Systems (1 hour)
• Onsite interview including Cofounder interview & opportunity to tour our technology & meet the wider team (2‑3 hours)
• A series of reference calls with provided contacts

We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses and identifying potential inconsistencies or verification signals in available information. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
