Menlo Park, United States Mainspring Energy, Inc. Full time
Job DescriptionJob Description

Company Overview

Driven by our vision of the affordable, reliable, net-zero carbon grid of the future, Mainspring has developed a new category of power generation — the linear generator — that delivers local, scalable, and fuel-flexible power to help accelerate the transition to the net-zero carbon grid.

The unique combination of attributes offered by Mainspring’s linear generator enables applications on both the commercial and utility sides of the meter for the $816B global electricity equipment market. We serve a wide range of Fortune 500 customers across markets and industries as well as top-tier utilities and other gridside providers.

We are looking to build relationships with people who share our values:

  • Pragmatic Optimism. Building a new category of world-class power generation requires the optimism of ambition and creativity, balanced with practicality to solve problems efficiently. The challenges that arise are opportunities for growth.

  • Excellence without Ego. We bring expertise and commitment to creating the best customer experience, from sales to deployment and service, just as we apply deep technical rigor to building and delivering world-class products. We strive for excellence and behave as leaders with the humility to acknowledge our challenges, both collectively and as individual contributors.

  • Proactive Collaboration. The integration and cross-disciplinary nature of Mainspring’s business requires intentionally seeking out others who bring different skills, perspectives, and priorities. Our culture of inclusion and respect extends beyond our team to interactions with our partners and customers.

Mainspring is based in Menlo Park and has partnered with top-tier investors and utilities such as Khosla Ventures, Bill Gates, NextEra, and American Electric Power. More information can be found at www.mainspringenergy.com.

Responsibilities

Mainspring is seeking a Manager of new product validation and reliability testing to accelerate the validation of our prototypes and latest linear generator designs. This position is very cross-functional with a scope of work at the intersection of engineering, project management and operations. This position will indeed combine hands-on work to ensure new designs are built with high quality, instrumented and tested. This will require good level of planning in a fast paced and agile environment.

As a leader within the Mainspring Energy test engineering team, you will indeed:

  • Plan, coordinate, and oversee the execution of the reliability testing of our newest generator designs. This will involve close collaboration with the reliability group and other engineering teams.

  • Manage and grow the team of reliability test engineers to make sure they are in the best position to succeed in their missions

  • Own the build of new prototypes from its BOM to the build completion. You will define critical times and work closely with our technical operations team to ensure new prototypes are properly built according to their timelines.

  • Facilitate the implementation of these new designs into manufacturing.

  • Actively collaborate with the two other hubs of the test engineering team (R&D and product qualification for manufacturing) to allocate testing resources and define testing priorities.

  • Build, grow and manage a new team as the scope of work progressively scales up

Concretely, there is a continuous stream of new designs to further improve performances and reduce costs of Mainspring linear generators and this position is a critical bridge to make sure these new design drawings convert into real products ultimately dispatched at customer sites.

Qualifications

  • 5+ years of work experience in testing of complex systems is necessary

  • Previous experience with people management is also necessary

  • Previous exposure and appetite for operations is critical

  • Need to demonstrate great organization skills with the ability to simplify complex situations

  • Successful communicator, strive for "pro-active collaboration" to be able to interface with a wide range of teams, skillsets and level of experience

  • Experience with complex BOM, part management and engineering management is a strong plus

The Bay Area salary for this role is $150k-$180k base + pre-IPO stock options + benefits. This position is on-site in Menlo Park, CA. The salary will be adjusted based on the experience of the employee.
