Local power generation for data centers, utilities, industrial & enterprise applications. Fuel-flexible, fast to deploy, high-efficiency, low NOx power. Backed by General Catalyst and Khosla.
About the role
As we scale our deployments from Behind-The-Meter (BTM) commercial microgrids to utility-scale Front-of-the-Meter (FTM) power plants and data centers, we are expanding our system boundaries to provide fully integrated, turn-key power solutions.
What they're looking for
- Bachelor's or advanced degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field
- 24+ years of direct experience productizing complex, multi-disciplinary industrial systems
- Deep technical knowledge of power conversion systems, including medium-voltage (MV) step-up transformers (12.47kV–35kV), central inverters, switchgear, vacuum circuit breakers, protective relays, and high-current busbar/cabling systems
- Demonstrated experience driving the engineering lifecycle of modular hardware systems, including a strong grasp of design-to-cost principles, supplier capacity scaling, field reliability, and configuration control
- Strong cross-functional leadership skills with a track record of translating diverse technical requirements from electrical, mechanical, and operations teams into a cohesive, manufacturing-ready system design
- Demonstrated success directing 3rd-party design, engineering, or Contract Manufacturing (CM) partners from initial concept through to sustained volume production

As we scale our deployments from Behind-The-Meter (BTM) commercial microgrids to utility-scale Front-of-the-Meter (FTM) power plants and data centers, we are expanding our system boundaries to provide fully integrated, turn-key power solutions.
This role sits at the intersection of power systems engineering, cross-functional hardware integration, and external vendor management. You will own the technical architecture and vision of how Mainspring power plant sites are built, including full ownership of the modular power skids. This includes ownership of the broader site: how generators, inverters, skids, and energy storage come together as a complete and configurable power solution. You will act as the technical anchor, translating high-level single-line diagrams and architectural concepts into robust, mass-manufacturable modular skid-based products. The ideal candidate will bridge the gap between initial concept and factory-ready design by driving requirements across internal multidisciplinary teams (Electrical, Mechanical, Project Delivery, Software Controls, and Supply Chain) while managing critical 3rd-party design and manufacturing partners to scale the product line.
