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 Materials and Process Engineer who wants to join a world-class engineering team and help scale production of the Linear Generator. The materials and process team at Mainspring Energy works on complex development projects which are at the intersection of properties, performance and processing of a wide range of materials – non ferrous, ferrous, coatings, graphite, polymers etc.
What they're looking for
- BS in Materials Science/Engineering or Mechanical Engineering
- MS + 5 years or PhD + 3 years of industry experience
- Prior experience with metal casting processes (e.g., die casting, investment casting, sand casting) and their impact on part properties and performance is strongly preferred
- Fundamental understanding of properties and performance of engineering materials, and basic knowledge of structure-property relationships
- Broader exposure to other materials and process areas — such as coatings, polymers, graphite, forging, or joining/welding — is a plus
- Experience with volume production of metal or cast components is highly preferred
