Located in the Tonsley Innovation District, at 1414 Degrees we’re transforming how the world uses and stores energy – making renewable energy reliable, affordable and accessible for industry. 

Our proprietary silicon-based energy storage and hydrogen technologies help industries cut emissions and reduce costs while keeping production running smoothly: 

  • SiBrick® - safely and efficiently stores renewable electricity as latent heat, ready for use on demand 

  • SiBox® - delivers consistent, high-temperature heat to industrial processes and can be seamlessly retrofitted as a viable alternative to conventional energy sources 

  • SiPHyR™ - a groundbreaking methane pyrolysis reactor with integrated storage, producing low-emission hydrogen and solid carbon using renewable energy 

We’re looking for an enthusiastic Process Engineer driven by innovation and keen to make a lasting impact on industrial decarbonisation. 


The Role: 

As an R & D Process Engineer, you’ll play a central role in taking SiPHyR from concept to commercialisation.  

You’ll be hands on across all stages, including: 

  • Design conceptualisation and calculations 

  • Fabrication design and assembly 

  • System-level analysis for optimal sizing and component selection 

  • Instrumentation and operation of the SiPHyR product 

  • Supporting commercialisation and real-world deployment 

You’ll also collaborate across other 1414 Degrees projects, gaining exposure to diverse, innovative energy solutions. 

About you: 

You're curious, proactive, and excited to tackle big challenges in clean energy. To thrive in this role you’ll bring:   

  • A degree in Mechanical or Chemical Engineering (higher qualifications or experimental R&D experience valued)   

  • 3-5+ years of hands-on experience in a relevant field - e.g. fuels, energy conversion, thermal storage 

  • Strong analytical skills and a knack for creative, lateral thinking  

  • Proficiency in CAD and CAE tools for design and testing, e.g. Inventor, Ansys
