Starting with tree farms — where a single field holds millions of plants no human has ever fully inventoried. 🌲🤯🌳 We’re a small team of practical engineers with a long-term vision. We focus on real, messy, on-the-ground problems today, while working toward a future where autonomous field robots make harsh outdoor jobs easier and safer. If our mission aligns with how you work and think, we’d love to learn more about you! ## The Role Join us as a Mechanical Engineering Intern on a fast-moving team of seven. Here, you’ll build things that actually get deployed. You’ll own projects across structural design, thermal performance, and packaging for our next-generation robotic sensor kits. Be ready to work through the full hardware development cycle: concept CAD, rapid prototyping, FEA, DFM iteration, supplier coordination, assembly, and field validation in live farm environment. We're looking for both a full time engineer, and intern candidates for co-ops, summer, and/or part-time roles. ## Minimum Requirements - Track record of hands-on personal projects (outside the classroom) demonstrating hardware skills - Demonstrated understanding of structural analysis and failure modes of complex mechanical systems - Proficiency in CAD software and FEA modeling - Solid understanding of GD&T - Comfortable making first-principles engineering trade-offs, even with partial information - Experience integrating sensors, compute, and/or power systems into physical assemblies - Comfortable building, assembling, and debugging physical hardware ## What You'll Do - Conceptualize new mechanical architectures for robotic systems in harsh environments - Lead design reviews internally and externally with suppliers and partners - Develop enclosure systems for thermal management, vibration resistance, and weather protection - Perform tolerance analysis and DFM reviews with manufacturing partners - Own prototype builds and field-test validation - Collaborate closely with perception, robotics, and electrical teams to optimize full-system integration ## About moss ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: Moss.earth is a climate tech company that develops and tokenizes carbon credits from Amazon Forest conservation and reforestation projects using blockchain, satellite imaging, and machine learning. - **Entity Type**: Private – Series A (raised $10M in Series A, total $13.4M in funding) - **Headquarters**: São Paulo, Brazil - **Founded**: 2020 - **Founders**: Camila Assis (Co-Founder & CMO) and Alexandre Lomaski (Co-Founder & CPO) ## Core Business - **Primary industry**: Carbon credits, carbon offsetting, environmental services, climate tech - **Target customers**: B2B (enterprises offsetting emissions), B2C (individuals compensating their footprint), and forest landowners - **Mission/purpose**: Use technology to protect the Amazon forest and help clients compensate their greenhouse gas emissions, becoming a global reference in the voluntary carbon market. ## Products & Services - **[MCO2 Token]**: The world’s first tokenized carbon credit listed on major global exchanges (Coinbase, Gemini). Each token represents one ton of avoided CO₂ emissions from Amazon forest conservation. - **[Moss Forest (DMRV Platform)]**: A Digital Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification platform that uses satellite imaging, big data, and machine learning to measure carbon stocks and monitor projects in real time. - **Carbon Credit Origination**: End-to-end project development including legal, land, and environmental evaluations for APD (Avoided Planned Deforestation), AUD (Avoided Unplanned Deforestation), ARR (Reforestation), and biochar projects. - **Corporate Carbon Offset Calculator**: B2B tool for companies to calculate and offset their 2023 (and forward) carbon footprint. - **Administrative Compensation Services**: Custom offset solutions for services, products, events, transportation, and cryptocurrency transactions. ## Market Standing - **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly available - **Key Metric – Total Funding**: $13.4M (Seed round $1.6M in 2020, Seed round $1.8M in 2021, Series A $10M in Jan 2022) - **Notable Investors/Partners**: Acre Venture Partners, SP Ventures, The Craftory, Jive Software, Flori Ventures; Exchange partners include Coinbase, Gemini, and Regen Registry - **Growth Signals**: - Recognized as the 8th largest voluntary carbon credit transactor globally in 2021 - Named in *Environmental Finance* survey (2023) - Acquired OnePercent (a carbon offset platform) in 2021 - Expanded physical presence to Manaus, Brazil, and opened offices in Madrid (Spain) and Montevideo (Uruguay) - Great Place to Work® certified for three consecutive years - Employee count: ~7–12 (source variance); international team across Brazil, Uruguay, Spain ## Competitive Advantages - **First mover in tokenized carbon credits**: MCO2 remains the most widely listed tokenized carbon credit on major exchanges, providing liquidity and trust. - **Amazon-exclusive focus**: Deep expertise in the Amazon biome, with projects that deliver environmental co-benefits (biodiversity, habitat conservation). - **Proprietary DMRV platform**: Combines satellite imaging, process automation, and ML for accurate, verifiable carbon measurement, reducing certification costs and time. - **Blockchain-backed transparency**: Every credit is tracked on-chain, allowing users to verify the environmental impact and avoid double-counting. ## Strategic Focus - Expanding project types (especially biochar and reforestation in the Amazon) - Scaling geographic footprint in Latin America and Europe - Deepening Web3 integrations for carbon credit trading and DeFi applications - Strengthening partnerships with large enterprise clients for B2B offset programs - Continuing innovation in remote sensing and AI-driven forest monitoring ## Why Work Here - **Culture**: Small, agile team (under 15 people) with a mission-driven focus on climate action. Rated 3.9/5 on employer review sites, with particularly high marks for compensation (4.3) and work-life balance (4.1). - **Great Place to Work®**: Certified for three consecutive years (2022–2024), indicating strong internal culture. - **International exposure**: Offices in Brazil, Spain, and Uruguay; remote/hybrid options are likely given the distributed team structure. - **Impact**: Directly contributing to Amazon conservation and global carbon markets – a tangible climate impact. - **Tech stack**: Works with blockchain, satellite imagery, big data, and ML – appealing for engineers interested in climate tech. - **Note on Careers Page**: The provided careers link (jobs.gem.com/moss-ag) appears to correspond to a separate company (a farm robotics startup, Moss.ag).
