• Design, plan and scale up the technologies from prototype stage to commercial stage

• Identify and optimize critical component and system-level parameters to improve overall product performance in terms of production capacity, energy efficiency, lifetime (reliability/durability), yield, cost, safety, and operation.

• Evaluate and manage sourcing of materials and components, taking into consideration the whole process from sourcing to final assembly and packaging

• Help set up the QC/QA processes and procedures for production

• Maintain an electronic notebook detailing all observations and measurements.

• Contribute to the intellectual property of the company by writing and participating in invention disclosures

• Perform periodic reporting to management and participate in technical meetings.

Qualifications

• PhD in mechanical engineering or similar field from an accredited institution, along with a demonstrated record of achievement in research

• Strong understanding of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and heat transfer

• Familiar with health and safety procedures in production.

• Thrive in a culture that values diversity, collaboration, precision, and learning.

• Strong teamwork and collaboration skills.

• Excellent problem-solving skills.

• A track record of successful scale-up prototypes or experimentation.

• Effective written and verbal communication skills.
