Job description

Bevi is on a mission to transform how beverages are delivered and consumed. Our connected beverage platform eliminates the need for single-use bottles and cans, making it easy, fun, and sustainable to stay hydrated. As the category leader in IoT-enabled beverage technology, we're building a future where Bevi machines are everywhere people live, work, and connect. We've raised over $160M in venture capital, serve thousands of customers across the US, Canada, UK and Ireland, and we've been rapidly growing year over year, saving over 1 billion bottles from waste. In addition to driving hypergrowth with our current product line, Bevi is heavily investing in new product development.

We're looking for an Electromechanical Sustaining Engineer to join our Hardware Sustaining team and serve as its electrical and embedded systems expert. Our connected machines are inherently electromechanical, and the field and production issues we tackle increasingly span the electrical, firmware, and mechanical domains at once. In this role, you'll lead first-pass electrical and firmware investigations, drive root cause and corrective action on electromechanical failures, and act as the technical bridge between our mechanical, electrical, firmware, and software teams.

You'll take sustaining projects from initial analysis through change release – diagnosing problems, scoping the engineering work cleanly, and partnering with the EE and firmware development teams to implement and verify fixes. Success in this role directly improves product quality, reliability, and the customer experience across Bevi's installed base.

Your Day to Day

Electromechanical Investigation & Root Cause

Lead first-pass electrical, embedded, and firmware investigations of field and production issues across Bevi's connected hardware.
Perform board- and system-level debug—instrumenting, measuring, and reproducing electromechanical failures such as inter-board communication faults, sensor and actuator behavior, and power or signal integrity issues.
Drive robust root cause analysis and corrective action on electromechanical issues, taking projects from initial analysis through containment and change release.
Translate field symptoms into clearly scoped engineering work packages that the EE and firmware development teams can act on directly.

Cross-Functional Integration

Serve as the sustaining team's technical bridge across mechanical, electrical, firmware, and software disciplines.
Partner with the EE and firmware teams to hand off well-defined problems and support implementation and verification of solutions.
Represent the sustaining team in cross-functional design reviews, DFMEA, and PFMEA activities, contributing a credible technical voice in electrical and embedded systems discussions
Communicate and coordinate with manufacturing, quality, and outside vendors and suppliers as needed

Change Implementation & Documentation

Create and release ECNs and update BOMs, drawings, and supporting documentation for electromechanical changes
Develop and execute test methods to validate fixes and verify compliance
Apply statistical methods and perform product/process analysis to drive quality improvements, cost reduction, and improved reliability
Support component end-of-life and obsolescence engineering activities for electrical components, and provide feedback to the New Product Development team to improve next-gen designs

Requirements

Required

B.S. or M.S. in Electrical Engineering, Electromechanical/Mechatronics Engineering, Mechanical Engineering or a related field
3-6 years of experience in product development, hardware sustaining, or systems integration of electromechanical systems
Hands-on electrical and embedded debugging: board-level troubleshooting with oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and multimeters, and familiarity with common communication protocols (e.g., I²C, SPI, UART, CAN)
Demonstrated experience with root cause analysis and corrective action on electromechanical systems
Comfort working across the electrical - mechanical boundary, including the ability to read board schematics as well as mechanical drawings and CAD and collaborate effectively with mechanical and electrical engineers
Strong written and verbal communication and documentation skills, including the ability to scope and frame technical work clearly for hand-off across teams

Preferred

Experience with Arena PLM
Experience with IoT or connected hardware products
Knowledge of Lean Manufacturing techniques
Knowledge of reliability engineering tools such as MTBF and MTTF
Proficiency with SOLIDWORKS or a similar 3D CAD program
Ability to travel up to 10%
