Smart Summary

Responsibilities

Interns will conduct and analyze lab-based carbon capture experiments and evaluate material performance. They will also design and fabricate new diagnostics or components using machine shop and 3D printing facilities.

Qualifications

Mantel is seeking a Fall Engineering Intern with backgrounds in Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or Materials Science. The ideal candidate will have an interest in gaining machine shop, prototyping, and fabrication experience. Recent graduates and students graduating in December 2026 are encouraged to apply for this full-time position at the Cambridge Lab.

Job Description

Mantel is a startup backed by Shel, Eni Next, BP, Breakthrough Energy, The Engine and New Climate Ventures. Mantel, born out of MIT, was founded by two MIT scientists and a Harvard MBA.

Mantel is developing the first molten-salt-based carbon capture technology which is designed to operate at the high temperatures found inside boilers, kilns, and furnaces – enabling highly efficient carbon capture that has not been possible until now. Carbon capture can be applied across industries to reduce emissions and achieve net-negative emissions. By solving for efficiency Mantel can cut costs substantially, unlocking carbon capture’s role in reaching net zero emissions by 2050. To learn more, go to: https://www.mantelcapture.com/

Mantel Capture, Inc

Mantel is developing the first molten-salt based carbon capture technology. Our molten borates are designed to operate at the high temperatures found inside boilers, kilns, and furnaces – enabling highly efficient carbon capture that has not been possible until now. Carbon capture can be applied across industry to reduce emissions - and even achieve net-negative emissions. By solving for efficiency Mantel can reduce energy losses by more than 60% and cut costs in half, unlocking carbon capture’s role in reaching global net zero.
