Rivan Industries (Rivan.com) is a synthetic fuel company designed to decarbonise heavy industry. We aim to make synthetic fuel cheaper than fossil fuels and sustain life on earth by keeping the CO2 locked underground. We design and manufacture modular synthetic fuel plants consisting of a DAC system, an Alkaline Electrolyser, and a Sabatier Reactor, vertically integrating with off-grid DC solar and the European gas-grid. The role involves building and owning first-principles models of core DAC unit operations, translating experimental data into validated models, identifying rate-limiting mechanisms, defining scaling laws, working closely with teams to validate models, driving architecture decisions, and developing models. Core skills include a PhD or equivalent experience, strong modelling skills, and experience in Python or MATLAB. Preferable skills include experience with gas-solid systems and tools like Aspen, gPROMS, or COMSOL.
