R&D Lab Assistant
Sublime Systems is a technology company commercializing affordable, ultra-low-carbon cement. Sublime's breakthrough replaces the industry's legacy fossil fuel-fired kilns with an electrochemical system that operates at ambient temperature, eliminating the use of fossil fuel and the need for limestone, resulting in low-carbon, low-embodied energy cement. This technology has the potential to drive gigaton-scale CO 2 reductions in an industry responsible for 8 percent of global emissions. Sublime is backed by mission-aligned investors, including The Engine, Prime Impact Fund, Energy Impact Partners, and Lowercarbon Capital. We are building a diverse and collaborative team of folks who are "amped about cement" (pun intended), who share our values (excellence, creativity, and teamwork), and our motivation to create a better world.
Sublime Systems is seeking multiple R&D Lab Assistants to contribute to the development of our technology. Each R&D Lab Assistant will support laboratory operations to accelerate team progress towards commercializing our decarbonized cement. This role is in-person at Sublime Systems Headquarters (28 Dane St, Somerville, MA 02143). Each R&D Lab Assistant will be expected to work between 15-30 hours per week including 4-6 hr shifts on Saturday, Sunday, and at least two weekdays. The shifts will be during business hours (between 8 AM and 6 PM). The exact time of day and days during the week are flexible depending on candidate availability (either morning or afternoon shifts are possible). Saturday and Sunday shifts are required.
Responsibilities Include:
All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.
Your Right to Work
