About the role
We are seeking an experienced and driven Staff Mechanical Engineer who thrives in a fast-paced startup environment. You will take ownership of the end-to-end development of mission-critical mechanical and thermal systems, from blank-page concept through analysis, fabrication, and final testing. You will tackle extreme engineering challenges, including high-temperature systems with complex power electronic interfaces —while mentoring junior engineers and driving projects across the finish line.
What they're looking for
- Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering
- 5+ years of professional design and/or hands-on manufacturing experience
- Prior experience in a startup or highly dynamic engineering environment
More about this role
Based in San Diego, California, Tempo develops thermochemical energy storage (TCES) systems designed for energy-intensive industries. The platform enables industrial operators to shift energy use over time by sourcing power when it is most cost-effective and enables the electrification of high-temperature industrial heat at a cost advantage to using fossil fuels. By storing electricity thermochemically, the system delivers a continuous stream of combustion-free, high-temperature air at up to 1,200°C.
Tempo is backed by leading climate and energy investors, including Breakthrough Energy Ventures, Khosla Ventures, and Prelude Ventures.
