Ph3Overview /h3pbDeep-Tech Climate Hardware | Mid-IR Laser Systems /b /ppThe Company: We are building a laser-based open-path greenhouse gas quantification system for industrial environments (N₂O, CH₄, NH₃, CO₂). The technology originates from several years of research and development within DTU projects. Significant scientific and engineering groundwork has already been invested, and the system has reached outdoor validation (TRL 5). The system is: /pulliBased on mid-IR TDLAS with a retroreflector-based multi-path architecture /liliDesigned for spatial mapping across industrial sites /liliCapable of full-site emission quantification (kg/h) /liliMoving toward MVP, accreditation, and commercialization /li /ulpWe are at the inflection point: transforming a validated deep-tech platform into a robust, deployable industrial system. /ph3The Team Culture /h3pKhaosGuard grew out of several years of DTU research, but we are now stepping into the next phase: building a real company around a technology that has already proven itself technically. You won’t be joining a corporate structure but you will be joining a small, committed team that cares deeply about getting this right. /ppYou’ll work closely with: /pulliA founder who is driving commercialization and strategy /liliDTU founders who know the physics inside out /liliIndustrial partners who want this system deployed in the real world /li /ulpWe value strong opinions, open discussion, and technical depth; we challenge each other in a respectful way and we all want to move forward together. /ph3The Role What You Bring /h3pAs CTO, you will architect and industrialize a mid-IR laser-based system that combines optical design, signal processing, embedded integration, and atmospheric modeling into a robust, field-ready product. /ppYou should be comfortable operating across: /pulliMid-IR optical architecture (TDLAS) /liliDAQ and FPGA-level signal acquisition /liliReal-time fitting algorithms (C/C++ / Python) /liliEmbedded integration (laser drive, detectors, telemetry) /liliWind-field integration and emission modelling (strong plus) /liliSystem ruggedization for industrial environments /liliProductization roadmap and path toward accreditation /li /ulpWe’re looking for someone with: /pulliStrong hands-on experience in laser spectroscopy / photonics /liliExperience running and designing lab field experiments independently /liliProduct thinking, balancing performance, reliability, and cost /liliThe ability to lead and grow a technical team /li /ulpThis role requires someone who can see the full system, make architectural trade-offs, and turn advanced physics into a deployable product. /ph3Stage Risk /h3pThis is an equity-based co-founder role. /ppThe technology is at TRL 5, validated in relevant outdoor conditions after several years of DTU-driven research and engineering. We are now moving toward building a true MVP and preparing the system for industrial deployment. /ppThis stage comes with responsibility and uncertainty but also real influence. As CTO, you won’t inherit a finished product roadmap. You’ll help define how we move from advanced prototype to robust, deployable system. Compensation evolves with funding and commercial milestones. The upside is directly linked to what we build together. /ppThis role suits someone motivated by ownership, long-term impact, and the challenge of turning deep-tech into a real product. If you want to build this together and shape the next phase of the technology, I’d welcome a conversation. /ph3Why This Matters /h3pIndustrial greenhouse gas emissions are still poorly quantified. Many facilities rely on estimates, indirect calculations, or localized measurements that don’t reflect full-site reality. /ppAt the same time, regulation is tightening and measurement requirements are becoming more explicit and enforceable. Industries are increasingly expected to move from reporting assumptions to reporting measured data. Existing solutions are often slow, fragmented, or not designed for continuous, site-wide quantification. /ppWe are building a system designed for real-world industrial deployment, a solution that combines scientific excellence with practical usability. /ph3Next Step /h3pSend: /pulliWhy this problem excites you /liliWhy you would consider an equity-based role /liliWhat technical component you would attack first /li /ulpSubject: CTO – KhaosGuard /ppThe first step is simply a direct conversation. I look forward to connecting. /p /p #J-18808-Ljbffr
