Description

• Roadrunner Venture Studios is the nation’s leading platform for founding breakthrough ventures in deep technology, focusing on energy/climate tech, advanced manufacturing, and semiconductors. • Our mission is to turn frontier tech into robust companies for the benefit of the American people. • Graphite, identified as a critical mineral by the U.S. Departments of Energy and Defense, is vital to a variety of industries. • Rapid growth of EVs and stationary energy storage is anticipated to drive the graphite market to a 3-4x supply deficit by the early 2030s. • We are working with one of our portfolio companies to pioneer a novel method to convert abundant carbon-bearing feedstocks into high-purity graphite for use in lithium ion batteries. • This is a unique opportunity to play a pivotal role in building a groundbreaking company focused on developing low-cost domestic supplies of battery-grade graphite.

Requirements

• Advanced expertise in chemical and process engineering, particularly in reaction engineering, process optimization, and scaling of industrial systems. • Experience transitioning technologies from lab-scale prototypes to pilot and full-scale commercial production. • Ability to communicate complex technical concepts clearly and effectively to diverse stakeholders, including researchers, investors, and industry partners. • Commitment to a culture of transparency, creativity, and continuous improvement within the engineering team and across the organization. • Entrepreneurial mindset with a passion for innovation and sustainability, willing to embrace calculated risks for company growth and aligned with the company’s mission to address critical global supply chain challenges.
