## About the role

We are seeking a Senior Staff Applications Engineer to own how Spark answers the question of technical fit. You will build and maintain the evaluation framework that determines whether a site, partnership, or commercial opportunity is viable for the Spark modular data center (MDC) and Spark-Liquid (DLC) product lines, and you will support the Energy Development Group (EDG), business development, and partner teams as they apply it. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- Team Enablement: Equip EDG, business development, and partner teams to apply the framework themselves on standard opportunities. Train, document, and iterate so routine qualification does not depend on a single point of failure, you
- Speed Discipline: Turn around escalated feasibility assessments in days, not weeks. Frame the problem tightly enough that deeper analysis, when required, lands on the respective engineering discipline ready to be worked
- Deviation & Exception Management: Identify where an opportunity requires deviation from the standard Spark configuration, quantify the engineering cost and schedule impact, and route it to the responsible engineering discipline for disposition
- Roadmap Feedback Loop: Feed recurring field constraints back to Spark design engineering and R&D as prioritized product requirements. You are the closed loop between what the market presents and what the product can absorb
