Jobs at Still Bright

Company invites general applications for an early-stage critical-minerals startup. Hiring across electrochemistry, process engineering, operations, and business. Submit resume and brief note; applications reviewed on a rolling basis and contacted for relevant openings.

Design, execute, and analyze electrochemical cell build-test-learn campaigns to improve performance, efficiency, and durability. Lead long-duration stability testing, root-cause analysis, and translate findings into scalable cell designs. Specify and commission test apparatus and instrumentation, mentor junior staff, maintain rigorous documentation, and support electrode, membrane, and electrolyte characterization to inform scale-up and demonstration decisions.

Lead and own the hydrometallurgical experimental and scale-up program for the RACER process, translating bench results into pilot/demo designs, specifying equipment, directing external testwork, analyzing process data for decisions and economic models, and mentoring engineers and technicians while upholding safety and documentation standards.

Execute bench- and pilot-scale experiments to advance a hydrometallurgical copper extraction process. Design tests, operate and maintain lab/pilot equipment, collect and analyze process and analytical data, support flowsheets and mass/energy balances, and produce clear technical documentation while adhering to safety and chemical handling protocols.

Lead deal execution to convert term sheets into signed commercial agreements for industrial-scale copper partnerships. Structure phased commercial models (offtake, JV, tolling, licensing), manage negotiations with mining counterparties and counsel, track pipeline and CRM, support commercialization strategy, and drive partner trust and community engagement to enable demonstration- and commercial-scale deployments.

Lead engineering execution to scale the RACER hydrometallurgical process from pilot through demonstration to first commercial modules. Manage hydrometallurgy and electrochemistry teams, oversee reactor and process design, EPC, procurement, construction, commissioning, partner technical engagement, feedstock testing, and risk/governance for scope, schedule, and budget.
