Job description

Can you solve problems 10x faster than anyone else? Have you picked up new skills in a matter of days or understood new technical subject areas within a matter of weeks? Are you looking to join a team surrounded by other damn good engineers? Let’s talk.

Kunin is developing separation systems with an order of magnitude higher efficiency. This requires rigorous experimentation of various separations, thoughtful mechanical design to maximize throughput, state-of-the-art process controls to handle accelerated cycling, and multiple manufacturing scale-ups to reduce the cost of separations towards its theoretical minimum. To achieve all this simultaneously, we need some damn good engineers.

If you don’t fit any of our open roles but are interested in Kunin, convince us that you would be valuable.

Location: On-Site (Chattanooga, TN)

Type: Full-Time

WHO WE ARE

Kunin Technologies is revolutionizing the critical mineral supply chain by implementing advanced separation technologies to capture value from overlooked resources.

Metals are everywhere—in solar panels, smartphones, electric vehicles—but as ore grades plummet globally, traditional extraction methods are failing. China dominates critical minerals markets by developing superior separation technologies that extract value from materials American mines discard as waste.

Utilizing Kunin Technologies’ breakthrough mass manufacturable nano-separation systems, significantly more value can be produced from each resource, reducing waste, and unlocking domestic critical mineral production.

REQUIREMENTS

· Completed a highly technical project from start to finish and able to thoughtfully discuss it.

· At least three previous coworkers will rave about your ability to learn and execute.

· Strong drive to work for an early-stage startup.

· Willingness to fill roles across an organization where necessary.

· Confident in highly autonomous environments.

COMPENSATION

Whatever you are worth including benefits & equity.

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS

· Must be willing to relocate to Chattanooga, TN.
