Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
Support the design, assembly, and operation of lab-scale activation systems and carbon mineralization hardware. Assist with CAD modeling, data collection, and general laboratory maintenance to optimize experimental systems.
Requires a background or coursework in engineering, materials science, chemistry, or related fields. Candidates should be comfortable in hands-on technical environments and preferably have experience with SolidWorks.
About us
At Arca, we pull carbon dioxide from the air and store it permanently as rock. To do this at scale, we partner with the minerals industry to implement our technology at mine sites, using their rock waste as our feedstock. These are the same mines that are producing the minerals necessary for the transition to a clean energy future. Arca’s founders are leaders in the field of carbon capture in mine tailings with more than 20 years of experience in innovation and research.
We believe that by working with nature, not against it, we can achieve carbon dioxide removal on the scale needed to secure thriving and abundant life on Earth for generations to come. If that resonates, we want to hear from you. We’re building a team of sharp, mission-driven, and collaborative individuals who take pride in using their skills to contribute to a sustainable future.
Position Overview
As an R&D Engineering Intern on Arca’s Activation team, you will support the design, build, operation, and optimization of experimental systems used for mineral activation and carbon mineralization. This is a hands-on, on-site role for someone who enjoys mechanical problem solving, prototyping, experimental testing, and working directly with lab-scale hardware.
The role includes both structured lab work and open-ended engineering tasks, with increasing independence as training and competency develop. Safety training, onboarding, and supervision will be provided.
This internship is expected to run for an initial three-month term, with continuation evaluated based on performance and project needs.

Rocking CO₂ to stabilize the climate.
We use alkaline industrial waste to remove CO₂ from the atmosphere and transform it into rock, for gigatonne-scale impact with an ultralight footprint. We believe that to stabilize our climate we need to make big, bold moves and leverage existing large-scale industrial operations. That is why we are developing strategic partnerships with global producers of critical materials and industrial materials. Because we operate within existing sites, our carbon removal pathway has a light footprint on the environment and local communities.
