Requirements

  4. Strong verbal and written communication skills, both technical and interpersonal
  5. Passion for growth and learning
  6. At least a Bachelor's degree in an engineering discipline, with coursework in thermodynamics
  7. Ability to come into our Downtown Boston office (19 Kingston St) ~1 day per week.
