Working Student - Physics / Mathematics

Location: Berlin, Germany
Contract Type: Part-time (up to 20h/week), Working Student

Help build the data infrastructure powering tomorrow’s climate solutions.

At Everest Carbon, we’re developing groundbreaking sensors that measure how much CO₂ is removed from the atmosphere through Enhanced Weathering — a scalable, natural solution to the climate crisis. Our sensors are already being used in the field across 6 countries, and demand is growing fast.

We're looking for a sharp and curious Physics or Mathematics student with strong analytical skills to help us refine our sensor calibration workflows. You'll join our R&D team at an exciting moment: scaling a breakthrough technology from 1 to 100. This is not just a typical data cleaning job — it's a technical, dynamic role where you'll explore real-world sensor data, build predictive models, validate algorithms, and help design the data pipelines that will scale our technology globally.

• Analyze and interpret noisy time-series sensor data from field and lab experiments
• Support calibration of physical measurement models using statistical and machine learning tools
• Develop and validate algorithms that connect raw sensor output to physical quantities like alkalinity
• Collaborate with our R&D team to integrate findings into field-ready prototypes
• Document your methodology and results clearly for use by engineers and future collaborators

• You are enrolled in a Bachelor’s or Master’s program in Physics, Mathematics, or a related quantitative field
• Strong command of Python (pandas, NumPy, matplotlib; scikit-learn a plus)
• Solid foundation in statistics, data analysis, and numerical methods
• Experience working with experimental data or sensor outputs (e.g., in research or coursework)
• Hands-on approach: you’re excited to work with real-world challenges, from messy data to experimental uncertainty
• (Bonus) Experience with calibration models, signal processing, or time-series analysis

• Mission-driven work: your work will directly contribute to building climate solutions based on real, measurable impact
• Hands-on learning: work directly with our Head of R&D and CEO, gaining first-hand experience in next-generation data science methods, real-world sensor analytics, and leveraging large language models (LLMs) in practice to 10x your data science work
• Growth opportunity: as we scale, you’ll have the chance to join full-time and take on more responsibility or specialize in areas like machine learning or data engineering
• Startup vibe, real impact: small, collaborative team, flat hierarchy, and the opportunity to see your work go into production quickly
• Benefits: paid vacation, healthcare, free snacks & good coffee, and a beautiful Berlin office with lab and workshop space

We Would Love to Hear From You
