About the company
Susteon is an advanced materials company based in the Research Triangle (Morrisville), North Carolina. We design and scale the sorbents, solvents, and catalysts that make industrial processes cleaner, more efficient, and more competitive, spanning carbon capture and utilization, carbon-free hydrogen production, and the conversion of waste into energy and valuable products.
What sets us apart is speed. Our Experimental Materials Platform (EMP) is an AI-driven, closed-loop discovery engine that pairs machine learning with automated experimentation to develop new materials in a fraction of the usual time and cost. It’s how we move breakthroughs from the lab to commercial scale, and how we keep advanced materials innovation and manufacturing here in the U.S.
We work in close partnership with national labs, universities, and major industrial players to take promising chemistry out of the lab and into the field.
If you want to build the materials behind the next generation of American energy and industrial technology, we’d like to hear from you. Your work here will have real impact at scale.
About the role
We are seeking a motivated Laboratory Technician to support our catalysis team. You will work alongside our scientists and engineers on an industrial catalyst-discovery program for renewable fuels, preparing and synthesizing catalyst samples, operating analytical and reaction-product instruments, and capturing rigorous, structured data in our Experimental Materials Platform (EMP).
This is a hands-on, instrument-heavy role for someone who takes pride in precision, safety, and continuous learning. The program is the immediate focus, but the capability is durable: this role supports Susteon’s broader materials pipeline across solvents, sorbents, catalysts, and reactors.
What you will do
•
Prepare and synthesize heterogeneous catalyst samples under scientific direction, including precipitation, impregnation, and supported and bulk systems
•
Operate analytical and reaction-product instruments per SOPs, with an emphasis on gas chromatography (GC) for reaction-product analysis
•
Run post-reaction characterization as a core part of the workflow, not an afterthought, including thermal and surface-area analysis
•
Capture every experiment, including negative results, as clean, ML-ready data in the EMP
•
Support 100 g scale-up synthesis and bench demonstration of lead catalyst candidates
•
Maintain accurate laboratory notebook records and contribute to SOPs under scientific guidance
•
Keep instruments calibrated, maintained, and ready for concurrent analyses
