Sorion, Inc.
Sorion is re‑engineering how critical chemicals and materials are produced through a mechano‑catalytic platform that replaces slow, high‑energy, solvent‑intensive steps with direct, high‑efficiency solid‑state processes. Our approach enables materials that are impractical to make by conventional means, unlocking entirely new possibilities for industry and the planet. If you want your work to become real products and help define the future of materials manufacturing, this is the place.
What you’ll do
Assemble, wire, and validate modified ball‑milling systems, integrating heaters, thermocouples, PID controllers, and motor drivers.
Build custom mechanical fixtures and enclosures (80/20 aluminum framing + acrylic).
Work with engineers to prototype and debug custom mechanochemical reactor systems.
Maintain and repair laboratory equipment to maximize uptime.
Co‑develop and refine SOPs with scientists and engineers to ensure efficient, high‑quality experimental workflows.
Precisely execute mechanochemical experiments and collect data.
Handle powders, reagents, and solvents safely and consistently.
Organize experimental materials, consumables, and records for efficiency and traceability.
Assist engineers during the build‑out of Sorion’s pilot line, contributing to rigging, wiring, troubleshooting, and validation.
Help bring new unit operations online and ensure they operate safely and as intended.
Maintain a clean, organized, safety‑first workspace.
Collaborate across disciplines with low ego and high curiosity.
Play a critical role in defining Sorion’s foundational culture as an early team member.
What you’ll bring
Ability to read and execute basic wiring diagrams for heaters, PID controllers, thermocouples, relays, and motor drivers.
Hands‑on mechanical assembly expertise, including 80/20 rigs, basic machining familiarity, and tool competence.
Proficiency in installing and using scientific equipment.
Ability to co‑develop and follow SOPs with consistent execution.
Proficiency with spreadsheets for logging experimental data and recording maintenance.
Safe handling practices for powders and solvents.
Ability to translate mechanical, chemical, and electrical requirements into actionable tasks when working with interdisciplinary team members.
Highly organized work style across both physical and digital environments.
Ability to thrive in an early‑stage, high‑ambiguity, fast‑paced startup environment.
Low ego, high curiosity, and a relentlessly resourceful spirit.
