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 has a high-impact opportunity for a Project Engineer, who will play a pivotal role in managing the development and execution of electrical hardware projects from concept to transfer to manufacturing. This Engineer will leverage their leadership skills and technical expertise to drive project success through effective planning, coordination, and risk management.

In this role, you will…

  • Develop and manage detailed project plans, timelines, and budgets
  • Drive execution of hardware development projects to on-time delivery, within budget
  • Navigate the team through a rigorous development process, enforcing best practices along the way
  • Identify and mitigate potential risks throughout the project lifecycle
  • Coordinate with the procurement team to manage supply chain and ensure availability of components and materials
  • Act as a liaison between the design and operations team, ensuring engineering changes successfully navigate from design to production implementation
  • Partner with other engineering leaders to coordinate resources across projects
  • Conduct project status meetings and provide progress to stakeholders
  • Develop new and improve existing business processes for the engineering department

This is a hybrid position (on-site + remote) and will require you to be on-site as required to support testing, troubleshooting, manufacturing support, etc.

Qualifications:

  • A track record of successfully planning and driving execution of projects in a fast-paced environment. You have proven project management skills including project planning, cross-functional coordination, and risk management.
  • 7+ years of experience in electrical hardware development. You have a degree in Electrical Engineering or similar.
  • Strong leadership and communication skills, with the ability to effectively collaborate with cross-functional teams.
  • Knowledge of electrical or electromechanical hardware design principles and manufacturing processes
  • Demonstrated experience managing the transition of new designs into production. You are well versed with the engineering change process.

The Bay Area salary for this role is $140k-$155k base + pre-IPO stock options + benefits. This position is a hybrid role with the office located 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.
