Careers
Join us in developing world-leading solutions for a sustainable future. You’ll help solve challenging global problems in a supportive environment with a healthy work-life balance.
What we do
Our team is developing technology to create green ammonia using air, water and renewable energy.
Our patented, carbon-neutral method revolutionises the production of ammonia by replacing the current Haber-Bosch process which generates two tons of carbon dioxide for every tonne of ammonia.
We are now working to scale-up the technology to allow more efficient, decentralised production at local, regional and national scale.

Meet some of our team
Dr Shohreh Moshtari Khah (Electrochemical Engineer)
Dr Shohreh Moshtari Khah
(Electrochemical Engineer)
Shohreh is a chemical engineer with decades of experience in both research and industry. She has worked in a variety of projects around the world, gaining expertise in simulation and process optimisation, analytical chemistry, separation processes and mathematical modelling.
At Jupiter Ionics, Shohreh works on developing key separation processes to produce green ammonia. She spends her days building and running experiments in the laboratory, analysing results, preparing presentations and finding new ways to scale up production.
She loves the hands-on nature of her role. “I’ve always liked the combination of research and development with industrial work. The research side is complex and challenging, and the outcomes of that research will have real-world applications, which really motivates me.“
After growing up in Iran, moving to the Netherlands, and then relocating to Perth, Shohreh now calls Melbourne home. She loves its vibrant mix of cultures and “the whole vibe” of the city. “It’s so lively but doesn’t feel crazy or crowded like other cities. There’s so much to do here.“
Shohreh works part-time at Jupiter so she can spend more time enjoying the Melbourne lifestyle with her family.
Dr Andrew Nattestad (Senior Reactor Engineer)
Dr Andrew Nattestad
(Senior Reactor Engineer)
Andrew is a materials engineer with a passion for sustainable and renewable energy generation technologies. He’s spent his career researching and developing innovative materials and methods for improving solar cells and a range of other advanced technologies.
There’s no such thing as a “typical” day at Jupiter Ionics says Andrew. “I’m across many different projects: lots of discussion and planning with researchers, reading through literature, as well as odd jobs to build things and design new cells. There’s so much variety, and I enjoy the challenge.”
The potential benefits of Jupiter Ionic’s ground-breaking green ammonia technology keeps Andrew motivated. “There’s nothing currently like it being produced at scale. What we’re seeing in the laboratory holds a lot of promise. This technology will have a big positive impact on society.”
Andrew grew up in Melbourne and lived in Wollongong for many years while he studied and worked at the University of Wollongong before moving back home. “I love the culture here: lots of restaurants, bars, live music. It’s got all the stuff that makes life enjoyable.” There’s also plenty of time to spend with friends and family – including Lacey, his Staffy cross who “needs a lot of attention.”
