By updating decades-old metallurgical processes with the latest advances in electrochemical membrane technology, we're increasing the accessibility of electric vehicles from the ground up. Specifically, we are building electrochemical membrane devices to regenerate acids and bases from brine streams for the integration into hydrometallurgical flow sheets. Conventional processes do not recycle acids, but rather neutralize them in carbon-emitting reactions that produce solid waste streams. The industry-leading energy efficiencies of our devices and their avoidance of hazardous gas byproducts enable a revolution in the production of metals including nickel, cobalt, and manganese.</span></span></span><br><br><span style="font-size:12pt;"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman' , serif;"><span style="font-family:'Droid Sans' , sans-serif;">We are seeking a design engineer with extensive experience in building electrochemical reactors to lead our electrochemical R&amp;D efforts.

<p>At Uplift Geosystems, we&rsquo;re on a mission to use scalable minerals processing technology to provide durable carbon storage services and sustainable metal products to organizations and individuals seeking a global climate where everybody can thrive. Many critical tools require steel, concrete, and other products that are carbon-intensive to produce conventionally. To avert the worst impacts of climate change, we need to radically change the CO<sub>2</sub>&nbsp;emissions profiles of these materials and remove remaining CO<sub>2</sub>&nbsp;emissions from the atmosphere that are infeasible or unethical to avoid.</p> <p>We're solving these problems by extracting magnesium and other metals from abundant rocks and storing CO<sub>2</sub>&nbsp;in the form of magnesium carbonate or bicarbonate. Scarce metals in the rocks are separated and sold for use in batteries, steel, and other products. Process reagents are recycled using electrochemical reactors. Our solution stands out in its novel adaptation of techniques employed in metallurgical and water treatment fields, which indicates potential for rapid scaleup. Further, our success is less subject to bureaucratic unknowns, since we do not need CO<sub>2</sub>&nbsp;pipelines and wells that have complex permitting. In addition, our co-products offset costs of CO<sub>2</sub>&nbsp;storage.</p>
