THE POSTING WE DIDN'T KNOW WE SHOULD WRITE
If you're exceptional at something and believe it belongs at Solcoa, don't wait for us to figure out the job title. Tell us what the role is. Make the case.
MAKING THE METALS POWERING THE WORLD
Solcoa is building the next generation of American metalmaking, starting with rare earths — the metals of power and motion. We've developed a new chemistry that converts rare earth oxides into high-purity metals — the materials inside every EV, fighter jet, wind turbine, and data center — cleaner, cheaper, and faster than any conventional process. Now we're scaling it to thousands of tonnes of annual production.
Why work at Solcoa Industries
- Culture: Small, obsessive team (8 people) solving a deeply technical and mission-critical problem. Described as “truly obsessive people working on what might be the most important industrial problem of our time.”
- Work model: On-site in SF Bay Area (Alameda) – all current roles require physical presence.
- Compensation: Highly competitive base salaries ($100K–$350K for engineering roles), stock options, and strong benefits.
- Impact: Direct contribution to Western industrial independence and climate goals (carbon-zero metals).
- Engineering focus: Heavy emphasis on metallurgy, process engineering, and high-temperature chemistry; chance to build from scratch.
