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
We have a high impact opportunity for a Modeling and Simulation Engineer to support the design, test, and manufacture of reliable and efficient linear generators at Mainspring Energy. On the system modeling and simulation team, you will have a central role in refining the way generators are designed by providing the tools through which the control system can be designed and validated.
What they're looking for
- Engineering degree (Mechanical, Aerospace, Electrical, Chemical, etc) with a strong foundation in applied mathematics
- Strong technical and analytical skills with 5+ years of practical experience in more than one physical domain relevant to linear generators: thermodynamics, electrical systems, fluid dynamics, etc
- Familiarity with numerical techniques for modeling and simulation and their use within existing commercial packages (e.g. Simulink, Dymola, GT-Power, NPSS, etc)
- Experience designing, writing, and validating custom models written in a high-level programming language, e.g. Fortran, C/C++, Python, Julia, etc
