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

While Mainspring is growing rapidly to scale production of its linear generators, Failure Analysis is a crucial element to the success of our mission and this role is a key enabler. We use Failure Analysis (FA) results to improve our design and manufacturing processes as well as the ones of our suppliers.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related discipline

  • 3+ years of FA Engineering experience in a fast paced and high growth environment (industrial and/or automotive is a plus)

  • The position is onsite at our Menlo Park location

Must-Have

  • You are passionate about FA because figuring out the string of why(s) something failed brings you joy.

  • You have successfully root caused a broad range of complex electrical components and assemblies using failure analysis methods and influenced design iterations to correct the issues.

  • You can thrive in structured and unstructured environments and are not dissuaded at the prospect of making hard decisions about what is important and urgent against a backdrop of limited resources.

  • You are proficient with a broad range of tools like oscilloscopes, DMMs, spectrum analyzers, microscopes and you have used them to deliver objective results.

  • You follow a safety protocol when operating around electrical systems because you understand the hazards and associated risks and how “invisible” they can be.

What you will do

  • Build and maintain positive relationships with the X-functional stakeholders that are the recipients of FA work product.

  • Develop a closed loop system with Field Operations, Electrical Engineering and Supplier Quality ensuring that the FA results are recorded and communicated through.

  • Create metrics to help X-functional stakeholders focus on necessary corrective actions of electrical failures.

Like to have

  • You have used command prompt, python/BASH scripts to obtain relevant data from test equipment.

  • You are comfortable with mixed signal and power electronics and you understand the physics behind cause and effect of failures.

  • You can quickly toggle between a PCBA schematics, gerber file, component placement and the actual board to trace a signal and you can find a way to probe it.

  • You keep detailed notes on debug process

  • You create test fixturing to assist in root cause analysis, such as jumper cables and breadboards.

  • You have experience creating and improving metrics reporting and use data to drive change

The Bay Area salary for this role is $122k-$155k 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.

Does your experience not meet all of our posted requirements? Studies have shown that some people are less likely to apply to positions unless they meet every listed requirement. At Mainspring, we are committed to building a diverse, inclusive, flexible, and collaborative environment, so if you want to help us transition the world to clean and affordable electricity, and don’t meet all posted requirements for a particular role, we’d still love to hear from you. Mainspring can sometimes be flexible enough to shift responsibilities for the right person, or otherwise identify open or upcoming roles that may better fit your professional background.
