Looking for a rock star senior Mechanical Engineer (can be as high as mgr level for this role) to work as the right hand person to our VP of Engineering who is a serious rockstar (BS in Aerospace, Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineering from Massachusetts Institute of Technology and went on to earn a Doctor of Philosophy in Biomedical/Medical Engineering from the same institution. BUT, way more importantly, they are the real deal not just textbook! Why share this, because if you want to surround yourself with the best and be the best, this is your opportunity to do both.

The company is still early stage so this role will comp with a combo of base plus equity and the traditional benefits. Onsite - yep it's an ME role what would you expect. The company is in the HVAC space but cleantech so delivering solutions for todays world that actually are at par or below traditional systems. Sales are going great so time to continue the innovation. This is where you come in! If it's just about the money this won't be a fit.

You will take a significant role in designing and engineering our third-generation liquid desiccant air conditioner. The successful candidate will "get in at the ground floor" of our newly launched and funded business to design and launch into the market industry-changing commercial HVAC products. They must be comfortable taking ownership of a project, collaborating with others, overcoming design challenges under deadlines, get hands dirty with testing, working across teams, and working both independently and as managed locally and remotely. This role offers a unique opportunity to be at the forefront of innovation for climate solutions and be a part of creating and launching cutting edge technology.

This on-site position will be responsible for working with our engineering, design, and

manufacturing teams to design, develop, and test liquid desiccant HVAC equipment and

subsystems.

The successful candidate will have designed vapor compression systems in buildings

or a related field including component selection such as refrigerant-to-air coil selection and overall system design and modeling with deep expertise in thermodynamics and modeling in EES, matlab or python

Responsibilities:

Develop and own models of the liquid desiccant air conditioning system and subystems in

Engineering Equation Solver (EES), MATLAB, Python. CFD is not relevant to this role

Design and build prototypes and execute subsystem tests to explore design space,

characterize components, and validate solutions

Perform heat transfer calculations and oversee selection of heating and cooling coils

Work with component and system subject matter experts to design overall product package

Manage a project across multiple stakeholders to meet required deadlines

Lead design reviews internally and externally with suppliers

Manage suppliers to design, quote, build, and evaluate parts

Required Qualifications:

BS in Mechanical Engineering or directly adjacent field of study

>5 years experience in mechanical engineering

Strong analytic and programming skills

Strong critical thinking skills: ability to deep dive into cause-effect and complex diagnostics

Demonstrated history of working independently, demonstrating ownership of projects, and

attention to detail/ checking/ controlling quality and accuracy of their work

Strong understanding of thermodynamics and heat transfer

Experience testing hardware and validating/developing models with test data

Preferred Qualifications:

Masters degree, preferably with focus on heat transfer and thermodynamics

Strong understanding of heating and air conditioning including psychometric calculations

Strong understanding of refrigeration systems

Experience with liquid desiccant or solid desiccant air conditioning systems

Experience selecting components common to HVC including fans, pumps, heat exchangers,

and refrigeration components
