Overview

As a New Product Development Engineer at Copper, you’ll contribute to creating the next generation of home appliances for an electrified future — supporting products from early concepts through production-ready designs. You’ll help develop mechanical systems and components, translating ideas into manufacturable, reliable hardware that can ship into real homes.

This role spans the full product development cycle: concept exploration, engineering development, prototyping, validation, and production readiness. You’ll contribute to generating and evaluating design concepts, then help drive selected designs through detailed design, testing, supplier engagement, and manufacturing scale-up.

You’ll work closely with electrical, firmware, industrial design, operations, and supply chain teams to bring new products from idea to production. As part of a growing hardware team, you’ll play a meaningful role in both what we build and how we build it, while continuing to develop your technical depth and product development skills.

We value diversity and are committed to building a team that reflects a wide range of backgrounds, experiences, abilities, and perspectives. We’re especially focused on fostering an inclusive workplace where everyone can contribute to our shared mission.

This is a full-time position expected to be in-office 4 days per week with 1 day flexible for in-office or remote work. Our office is located in Berkeley, CA.

What you'll do

• Contribute to the mechanical design and development of new products and subsystems, supporting projects from concept through production.
• Participate in early-stage concept exploration by generating ideas and helping evaluate different design approaches.
• Translate product requirements into engineering designs
• Support designs through the development lifecycle, including detailed design, prototyping, validation, and production ramp.
• Create and maintain CAD models, detailed drawings, and documentation for components and assemblies.
• Build and test prototypes using in-house tools and external vendors, iterating based on results.
• Apply knowledge of materials and manufacturing processes to make sound design decisions
• Support design-for-manufacturability (DFM) and design-for-assembly (DFA) efforts across common processes such as injection molding, machining, and sheet metal.
• Collaborate with suppliers, operations, and manufacturing teams to refine designs and support builds.
• Troubleshoot design and build issues, identifying root causes and implement improvements.

About Us

Copper's vision is a future where every home is electrified with abundant clean energy. Our mission is to make decarbonization accessible to everyone by selling electric home appliances that enrich their daily lives. We're reducing the cost of electrification by integrating batteries into household appliances, starting with the stove. Our work has been funded by the Department of Energy, in an effort to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and increase energy resilience with products that are high-performance, safe, intuitive, and robust. As we build our team and pursue our mission, we do it with a strong sense of our core values because it's not just what you do, it's how you do it. You'll see this in high-level decisions, how we run meetings, our day-to-day work, hiring, and our interactions with customers and the broader community. We intend to have a massive impact on our team, our neighborhood, and the world. 

Overview

At Copper, we’re reinventing home appliances for an electrified future. Our flagship Charlie stove pairs high-performance induction with integrated energy storage to make the switch from fossil fuels a no-brainer. We’re a small, fast, collaborative team that ships, learns, and iterates quickly.

As a Software Engineer, you’ll help build and scale the software systems that connect our appliances, cloud infrastructure, and customer-facing applications. You’ll work across cloud services, data pipelines, mobile and web applications, and the interfaces that tie our software to real hardware in people’s homes.

This is a high-impact, hands-on role with end-to-end ownership. You’ll partner closely with a small, cross-functional team, while shipping mission-critical features that support customers, manufacturing, operations, and Copper’s broader climate mission. We’re looking for someone who thrives in ambiguity, drives clarity across boundaries, and can scale both systems and engineering practices as the company grows. .

We value diversity and are committed to building a team that reflects a wide range of backgrounds, experiences, abilities, and perspectives. We’re especially focused on fostering an inclusive workplace where everyone can contribute to our shared mission.

This is a full-time position and it is expected to be in-office 4 days per week. Our office is located in Berkeley, CA.

What you'll do

• Own the design, implementation, and evolution of critical software systems spanning cloud infrastructure, mobile applications, and internal tools. 
• Design, implement, test, and ship features and systems across the cloud, mobile app, and internal tools used by customers, installers, manufacturing, and operations teams.
• Own and grow data pipelines and cloud systems that power fleet visibility, analytics, and participation in programs such as virtual power plants.
• Partner with hardware, firmware, manufacturing, and product teams to build software that integrates cleanly with real devices and real-world workflows.
• Refine feature requirements, balancing user needs, system complexity, reliability, and long-term maintainability.
• Partner with engineering leadership to shape technical direction and prioritize high-impact work.
• Support mobile releases and QA, with a bias toward automation and repeatable processes.
• Lead by example through high-quality code, thoughtful design, and strong engineering practices. 
• Contribute to code reviews and mentor other engineers through hands-on collaboration 
• As the system matures, help support operational needs, including occasional on-call incident response outside of normal business hours.
