Job Overview
Mainspring is looking for a Senior Staff Mechanical Engineer — Electromechanical to lead the design and integration of electrical enclosures, busbars, and cable systems for our next-generation energy platforms.
This is a highly visible technical leadership role focused on solving difficult real-world engineering problems across power electronics packaging, harsh-environment durability, manufacturability, and system integration. You’ll help shape core product architecture while working on systems deployed across demanding operating environments ranging from coastal and desert conditions to future megawatt-scale applications.
We’re looking for an engineer who understands how electrical and mechanical systems behave in the real world — and can drive robust electromechanical solutions from concept through production.
Responsibilities
Qualifications
Preferred Qualications
- What you actually built or worked on — name the real product, subsystem, or hardware (not just "components" or "systems"). "Redesigned the bracket mounting the compressor to reduce vibration failures" tells us far more than "designed mechanical components."
- What you personally did, separate from what your team did. If you contributed to a group project, tell us your specific role and contribution.
- The engineering fundamentals you applied — tie your skills (CAD, FEA, GD&T, thermal/fluid analysis, testing, etc.) to the actual problem you used them on, rather than listing them as standalone skills.
- What happened as a result — did it pass validation/testing, resolve a failure, ship to production, and if so, at what volume or scale (prototype quantity, low-rate production, high-volume manufacturing)? This helps us understand whether your experience is with one-off/prototype hardware or product that shipped at scale.
Does your experience not meet all of our posted requirements? Studies have shown that some people are less likely to apply to positions unless they meet every listed requirement. At Mainspring, we are committed to building a diverse, inclusive, flexible, and collaborative environment, so if you want to help us transition the world to clean and affordable electricity, and don’t meet all posted requirements for a particular role, we’d still love to hear from you. Mainspring can sometimes be flexible enough to shift responsibilities for the right person, or otherwise identify open or upcoming roles that may better fit your professional background.
