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

The technology that powers Mainspring’s Linear Generator is unlike any other generator technology on the market. The Linear Generator relies on innovative electrical power and control hardware systems to achieve its best-in-class efficiency while meeting the world’s strictest emissions requirements. These electrical hardware systems are designed by a talented team of electrical engineers that own hardware design from initial concept through test and manufacturing.

We have a high impact opportunity for a power electronics engineer to shape the future of the Linear Generator’s power electronics systems. As a member of the team, you will:

  • Design custom power electronics hardware that enables key functions of our Linear Generator
  • Bring-up, validate, and qualify your power electronics designs
  • Troubleshoot complex hardware issues that arise in the test lab, production floor, and fielded units
  • Collaborate with the new production introduction team and external suppliers to improve designs for manufacturability and testability
  • Partner with reliability engineers to further drive up electrical hardware reliability
  • Serve as an expert on the hardware systems that you own

This role is an amazing growth opportunity, where you will work closely with and learn from a small team of top-caliber power electronics engineers. Working together, you will jointly own all the custom power electronics within our system.

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

Qualifications

You have…

  • A passion for hands-on hardware development
  • A “collaborate-first” mindset and have successfully communicated across a range of teams and personalities
  • Excellent electronics design fundamentals; ability to take concept level design details, select components, and produce a schematic
  • Examples of taking ownership of a power electronics design project
  • A bachelor’s degree, or higher, in Electrical Engineering
  • 0-5 years of experience developing power electronics designs

Nice-to-haves

  • Experience designing high voltage (480VAC / 600VDC) systems
  • Experience designing kW-level power electronics
  • Experience in the full hardware development life cycle, from requirements development to manufacturing support
  • Experience working at a startup or rapid development environment
  • Experience with Altium

The Bay Area salary for this role is $118k-$127k base + pre-IPO stock options + benefits. This position is on-site in Menlo Park, CA. The salary will be adjusted to reflect local market conditions based on employee location as well as 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.

In more traditional words, Mainspring Energy, Inc is an Equal Opportunity Employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, or protected veteran status and will not be discriminated against on the basis of disability.

This compensation and benefits information is based on Mainspring Energy's estimate as of the date of publication and may be modified in the future. We generally do not negotiate on salary once we have made an offer. The level of pay within the range will depend on a variety of job-related factors that may include location, relevant prior experience and/or education, or particular skills and expertise. New hires joining the company tend to be paid within the starting base pay range noted above, with opportunities to increase pay over time based on development of additional skills, competencies, and company-specific knowledge.
