About the role

We are looking for a Senior Mechanical Systems Engineer who exemplifies strong engineering judgment combined with strong practical mechanical engineering capability.
We especially value engineers who have spent time close to real hardware in the field and know the difference between what looks good on paper and what really works.
You will work closely with the CTO and the rest of the technical team to complement strong system-level and conceptual thinking with deep practical mechanical judgment.

You should be the kind of engineer who wants to understand the "why" behind requirements, spot weaknesses in a design, ask hard questions early, and improve a system's performance, operability, reliability, and cost.
So, you should be comfortable moving between first-principles thinking and practical design decisions.
Another day it may mean reviewing a P&ID, building CAD, tightening a spec, challenging a vendor design, or catching issues in a drawing package before they become field problems.

The candidate must be currently based in and have the right to work in the United States.

(A) a traditional CAPEX purchase, and (B) an innovative Energy-as-a-Service (EaaS) model with zero CAPEX and savings from day one.
One day that may mean digging into system architecture, operability, or failure modes.

$130,000 to $160,000 Location We are a remote-first organization; this role is fully remote.

This role is an individual contributor role, but we are looking for someone with the maturity and breadth to become a technical lead in the future.
We look for people who want to understand what is actually going on in a system, who care whether a design will really work, and who are willing to challenge assumptions when something does not look right.
We are especially interested in people who combine first principles thinking with practical mechanical depth, independent thinking, and high ownership.
