Fall Engineering Internship

Overview

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.

Mantel is looking for both undergraduate and graduate level interns from a variety of backgrounds including chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, and materials science who are interested in gaining machine shop, prototyping, and fabrication experience. Recent graduates and students graduating in December 2026 are welcome to apply. This is a full time 40 hour per week position in the Cambridge lab. Fall interns will be given the opportunity to work on a variety of science and engineering problems.

• Improving our understanding of the performance of different material of construction candidates.
• Running, analyzing and modifying lab‑based carbon capture experiments.
• Design and fabrication of new diagnostics or components for our lab‑based pilot with access to a fully kitted machine shop, state of the art 3D printing facilities and electronics lab.
