Lab & Process Intern
About The Position
Backed by leading climate and American dynamism investors, Terranova builds intelligent robotic systems to terraform the Earth itself, from lifting land, restoring wetlands, to protecting critical infrastructure from floods and sea-level rise. We're assembling a world-class team to work on something real, physical, and civilization-scale. We're seeking a Lab & Process Intern to support the development of our pulp and paper plant operations. You'll run hands-on experiments, collect and analyze data, and help us understand the physical properties of the materials we work with — starting with viscosity testing and expanding into other lab experiments as the plant comes online. This is a ground-floor opportunity to help build out lab processes and protocols from scratch at an early-stage company.
Requirements
- Working toward a degree in Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, Chemistry, or a related field
- Some hands-on lab experience (coursework, research, or personal projects)
- Detail-oriented and comfortable working with physical materials and equipment
- U.S. permanent residency required
Responsibilities
- Run viscosity and rheology experiments on pulp slurries and related materials
- Support general lab experiments as directed, including sample preparation, data collection, and documentation
- Maintain accurate lab records and help develop repeatable testing protocols
- Assist in interpreting results and flagging anomalies or trends to the team
- Help keep the lab organized, calibrated, and stocked
Benefits
- $20–28/hr + relocation + company perks
- Summer internship, May–September (flexible based on school schedule)
