This is an extraordinary opportunity to come in at the ground floor of a fast growing, ultra-high impact CleanTech startup. We at Blue Frontier 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!

• Develop detailed mechanical part and assembly designs and drawings using SolidWorks
• Conduct engineering analysis including structural strength, material selection, heat transfer, fluid dynamics, electrical power consumption, manufacturing methods, controls, etc., to arrive at designs that meet or exceed established expectations
• Support the fabrication of prototype and pre-production parts and subsystems. This includes discussion with outside vendors, sourcing of components, and coordination with technicians and other engineers
• Develop manufacturing methods and processes, and enhance manufacturability of designs
• Test and develop test protocols for evaluating prototypes
• Provide accurate BOMs to the Manufacturing department

• Must be able to manage tasks and projects with significant amount of autonomy
• Must be an excellent verbal communicator and presenter
