Join Utility Global

At Utility, we’re reimagining what’s possible.

Our breakthrough H2Gen® technology transforms undesirable industrial by-products into clean energy and sustainable fuels and feedstocks, helping hard-to-abate industries decarbonize without compromise. We’re building systems and solutions that will power a zero-carbon future by turning what the world doesn’t want into clean energy it needs most.

But technology alone doesn’t change the world.

People do.

We’re building a team as bold as our mission. Engineers and scientists, designers and operators, storytellers and strategists all united by a shared belief: that the undesirable can become invaluable, and that industrial decarbonization can be both practical and economical.

At Utility, we see possibilities where others see limits. We believe progress happens when diverse minds collaborate toward a cleaner, smarter, more resilient world.

If you’re ready to do the most meaningful work of your career, join us and help build what’s next.

The Company

Utility Global is redefining how the world makes and uses energy. Through its breakthrough H₂Gen® technology, Utility transforms industrial off-gases and biogases into clean energy and sustainable fuels and feedstocks, helping industries decarbonize without compromise. The company’s proprietary technology delivers a scalable, economic pathway to a zero-carbon future, positioning Utility as a leader in the industrial decarbonization revolution.

The Role

Utility Global is expanding into numerous industrial sectors and looking for Ceramic Engineers to join our Applied Technology Team in Englewood, Colorado. As part of our organization, you will work with a highly motivated and driven team to develop and refine our cell technology as well as work on next generation materials and processes.

We have more than one role available so are open to considering candidates with a range of experience, from early career to more late career candidates. Depending on experience, background, and education the title may change to reflect broader experience, background and education.

Key Responsibilities

· Research and Development: Conduct research and development activities to improve the performance and durability of ceramic electrochemical cells.

· Material Selection: Work across the organization with a cross-functional team to select the most suitable ceramic materials for different applications in our high temperature reactor technology.

· Testing and Analysis: Perform testing and analysis of ceramic materials and products using a range of techniques such as microscopy, rheology, and thermal analysis.

· Process Optimization: Optimize ceramic manufacturing processes to improve quality, reduce costs, and increase efficiency.

· Quality Control: Develop and implement quality control procedures to ensure that ceramic products meet internal standards and customer requirements.

· Documentation and Reporting: Maintain meticulous records of experiments, test results, and other data. Prepare reports and presentations to share findings with colleagues, management, and customers.

· Safety and Compliance: Ensure that all work is conducted safely and in compliance with relevant regulations and standards.

Overall, the Ceramic Engineer will be a key team member responsible for developing and improving ceramic materials and processes that are critical for the production Utility Global technology. Primary focus will be on future-facing research and development activities, with a minor portion of time (20-30%) focused on providing manufacturing support both internally (in house manufacturing capability) and externally (3rd party manufacturer).

Candidate Profile:

· Minimum BS degree in Ceramic Engineering, Materials Science and engineering, or similar experience.

· Hands-on experience developing ceramic bodies for at least one of the following applications: extrusion, slip casting, spray coating, iso-pressing, tape casting, dip coating, gel-casting, or similar.

· Hand-on experience with at least three of the following characterization techniques: dilatometry, rheometry, particle size analysis, SEM, XRD, BET, porosimetry, TGA/DSC, digital image analysis.

· Comfortable operating pilot scale ceramic machinery.

· Comfortable troubleshooting and making basic repairs to processing and analytical equipment.

· Experience using basic statistics (T-test, ANVOA, etc.) to guide experimentation and/or process improvement.

· Comfortable using Python (or similar) for basic data analysis and data processing tasks.

· Organized, self-motivated, and able to manage tasks and time effectively.
