Menlo Park, California, United States Mainspring Energy, Inc. Full time
Job Overview

Company Introduction

Mainspring Energy, Inc. is dedicated to realizing a vision of an affordable, dependable, and net-zero carbon grid for the future. We have pioneered a novel category of power generation known as the linear generator, which provides local, scalable, and fuel-flexible energy solutions to expedite the transition to a sustainable energy grid.

The unique features of Mainspring's linear generator cater to both commercial and utility sectors within the expansive $816 billion global electricity equipment market. Our clientele includes a diverse array of Fortune 500 companies across various industries, as well as leading utilities and other grid-side service providers.

We seek to cultivate relationships with individuals who resonate with our core values:

  • Pragmatic Optimism: Establishing a new category of world-class power generation necessitates a blend of ambitious creativity and practical problem-solving. Challenges are viewed as opportunities for growth.
  • Excellence without Ego: We are committed to delivering an exceptional customer experience, from initial sales through deployment and service, while applying rigorous technical standards to develop and deliver superior products. We pursue excellence with the humility to recognize our challenges, both as a team and as individual contributors.
  • Proactive Collaboration: The interdisciplinary nature of Mainspring's operations requires actively engaging with others who bring diverse skills, perspectives, and priorities. Our culture of inclusion and respect extends to our interactions with partners and customers.

Key Responsibilities

Are you passionate about exploring new developments and crafting testing strategies in areas such as controls, modeling (MIL, SIL, PIL), algorithms, and physics? At Mainspring, we integrate science and technology with our vision of creating a new category of power that is both affordable and reliable, targeting a net-zero carbon grid.

This role offers you the chance to join a distinguished engineering team: to formulate and implement test plans, develop and execute automation, and ensure the quality of our products. The control algorithms for the Linear Generator are innovative and tailored to align with Mainspring's groundbreaking approach to electricity generation. As a Controls Test Engineer, you will play a crucial role in validating system behavior. You will significantly impact product quality, collaborate with developers to comprehend new features and technologies, and devise inventive testing solutions to address complex scenarios involving multiple components.

  • Formulate test plans, test cases, traceability matrices, and automation strategies.
  • Draft technical test methodologies, conduct failure analysis, risk assessment, and maintain testing protocols.
  • Guarantee comprehensive test coverage and perform risk evaluations.

Qualifications

  • Experience in controls, modeling (MIL, SIL, PIL), algorithms, and physics.
  • Understanding of real-time hardware and its implications on timing and discretization.
  • Familiarity with sensors such as pressure transducers, RTDs, current transducers, and quadrature encoders.
  • Proficiency in automation using Python, bash, and C++ on embedded real-time systems.
  • Experience with standard testing tools like TestRail, GitLab, or similar platforms.
  • A degree or equivalent experience in controls, mechatronics, electronics, or systems engineering.

Compensation

The salary range for this position is competitive and will be determined based on the candidate's experience and qualifications. Additional benefits include pre-IPO stock options and comprehensive benefits packages.

Mainspring Energy, Inc. is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We welcome applications from all qualified individuals without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, or protected veteran status, and we do not discriminate against individuals based on disability.
