Job Description

Position Description
We are racing to solve arguably the biggest sustainability problem in the world using disruptive technology and business models. Air conditioning is the fastest growing use of electricity in the US and globally. If present trends continue, by 2050 air conditioning electricity consumption will be bigger than the combined electricity consumption of China and India today!
Our AC system combines dew-point-style sensible cooling with liquid desiccant dehumidification to reduce electricity use by up to 90%. The desiccant is recharged and stored when electricity is the lowest cost or cleanest, and later used to deliver cooling when electricity is costly or derived from non-renewable sources. These features enable our system to solve an array of today’s largest sustainability problems —from the Duck Curve to peak load management, from humidity control to integration of intermittent renewable resources.    Working in the R&D department and reporting to the Head of the Applied R&D lab, the Senior R&D Mechanical Design Engineer will support the development of Next Gen technologies that improve the reliability and performance of our product.    We are looking for a candidate with strong communication skills and a solid academic background.
