Deep Sky

Engineer

• Lead the conceptual and detailed process design of DAC systems, including Heat and Material Balances (H&MB) and Process Flow Diagrams (PFDs).
• Develop and refine Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs), ensuring robust control logic and safety standards (HAZOP/LOPA) are integrated from the start.
• Perform advanced process simulations using software such as Aspen Plus or HYSYS to optimize energy consumption—a critical metric for DAC viability.
• Drive technology selection for key components like contactors, regeneration units, and moisture/heat management systems.
• Collaborate with mechanical and structural teams to oversee the scale-up of modular DAC units from prototype to multi-ton commercial facilities.
• Assess and mitigate technical risks related to solvent/sorbent degradation, energy variability, and ambient environmental impacts on capture efficiency.
• Coordinate with external vendors and EPCM partners to ensure equipment specifications meet Deep Sky's performance and sustainability targets.
• Support commissioning and startup activities at our test facilities, troubleshooting process bottlenecks and validating performance against design models.

Lead Process Engineer

• Lead the development of dynamic reservoir models in both saline aquifer and CO2 mineralization applications. This will include reviewing relevant academic studies and other publicly available information in order to refine model parameters and quantify uncertainty.
• Use advanced simulation software to optimize CO2 injection schemes and forecast expected CO2 plume behaviour.
• Contribute to the screening and selection of CO2 injection sites by analyzing available data and quantifying expected CO2 storage performance.
• Assess and quantify risks to long term CO2 containment, and develop monitoring programs and mitigation strategies.
• Contribute to regulatory applications for CO2 storage schemes.
• Prepare comprehensive reports and presentations summarizing reservoir modelling findings, ensuring all work is well documented for future reference and regulatory compliance.
• Stay up-to-date on the latest reservoir engineering practices and simulation tools, and contribute to the advancement of organizational reservoir engineering best practices.
• Coordinate with various subsurface team members including geologists, geophysicists, drilling/completions engineers, and MMV specialists to ensure successful implementation of CO2 storage projects.
