About Dig Energy, Inc.
Dig Energy is an early stage energy startup working to create affordable geothermal energy at a global scale. We have developed a new, radically inexpensive drilling method that enables us to create geothermal boreholes anywhere in the world. Our initial focus is on residential and commercial heating/cooling. We’ve raised funding from top investors and are now looking to move from initial prototypes to a commercial drilling system.
Due to the hands-on nature of our work, this is an on-site role, and we’re looking for someone who can come into our office in Manchester, NH (which is commuting distance from Boston). If you’re not in the area but might be open to relocation, we’d love to have a call and tell you why it’s such a great place to live.
The Role
We are looking for multi-disciplinary and experienced engineers that can own and execute on core engineering challenges while building processes for quality and scale. The Senior Mechanical Engineer will drive pieces of mechanical design, controls and automation, manufacturing, HVAC integration, and civil engineering. If you have expertise in at least two of those areas, please apply - we are looking for a multi-faceted “shortstop-style” engineer who is smart, learns quickly, and thinks creatively to deliver novel solutions. This role will initially be heavily hands-on engineering and execution focused but may evolve to more team management over time.
What You Will Do
Design and test components (and possibly machine them if needed)
Automate and instrument components of the drill and rig to ensure it can run independently
Perform systems/material testing to help refine designs
Design integration systems to enable our system to seamlessly mesh with HVAC systems
Who You Are
5-10 years of hands-on mechanical engineering experience and/or electrical engineering with an emphasis on controls, automation, and instrumentation
Experience in a fast-paced, execution-oriented early stage startup
Resourceful and highly collaborative team player who thinks creatively, has high attention to detail and quality, and who can work with a cross-functional team that is trying to move as quickly as possible
High attention to detail and excellent organizational and communication skills
BS in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related field
Perks
We offer a fully paid, excellent healthcare plan and flexible vacation policy.
You’d work on wildly interesting technical problems and will have responsibility and support to help you grow.
