About CoolVOC

CoolVOC is a climate-tech startup developing advanced systems for VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) capture and neutralization from industrial emissions. Our patented process uses thermodynamic cycling and gas-phase adsorption to achieve high-efficiency abatement with minimal energy input. We’re transitioning from prototype to pilot and scaling toward industrial deployment.

What You’ll Do

• Design and optimize thermodynamic and adsorption-based systems for VOC recovery and neutralization
• Plan and execute lab and pilot-scale experiments, focusing on thermal cycles, pressure control, and regeneration
• Perform mass and energy balances on system components (e.g., gas loops, heat exchangers, compressors, adsorbent beds)
• Analyze system performance (e.g., ΔP, cooling loads, adsorption capacity) and model energy usage, and cycling efficiency
• Characterize zeolites and adsorbents using XRD, SEM/TEM, BET, TGA/DTA, FTIR, and elemental analysis (e.g., ICP, LIBS) to assess structure, morphology, porosity, stability, and composition.
• Contribute to documentation, SOPs, and IP generation

Required Qualifications

• B.Sc. or M.Sc. in Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field
• Strong foundation in thermodynamics, mass and energy balances, and gas flow behavior
• Hands-on experience with lab equipment: heat exchangers, compressors, blowers, flow meters, adsorption beds
• Experience with instrumentation and sensors for pressure, temperature, and flow rate measurement
• Familiarity with zeolite and adsorbent characterization methods as outlined above
• Proficiency in MATLAB and/or Python for experimental data analysis and system modeling
• Clear written and verbal communication in English

Bonus Points

• Experience with SolidWorks
• Background in VOC capture, adsorption media, or emission control systems
• Experience in scaling from lab to pilot
• Exposure to statistical tools (e.g., DoE, regression analysis)

Why Join Us

• Be part of a mission-driven team tackling industrial sustainability and clean air
• Work in a well-equipped R&D lab in Herzliya with direct input into system design and scale-up
• Contribute to real-world climate impact with a novel energy-saving technology
