Structural Design Engineer

Job description

**About Electrified Thermal Solutions** Boilers, furnaces, and kilns are the engines of our industrial economy, providing heat to melt steel, form cement, and transform chemicals. But historically reaching this high-temperature heat required burning fossil fuels, making the industrial sector responsible for 25% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Electrified Thermal Solutions has a simple and massive goal: to electrify industry. To do this, we are building the Joule Hive™ thermal battery: an energy storage technology that converts and stores cheap, renewable electricity as high-temperature heat. Our vision is to mitigate gigatons of CO2 emissions per year by deploying the Joule Hive™ at every industrial furnace, turbine, boiler, and kiln. Electrified Thermal Solutions is looking for a motivated Structural Design Engineer to join our team in Massachusetts. This is a full-time role to help design and support the development of next-generation energy storage and thermal systems. As a Structural Design Engineer, you will join our engineering team and play a pivotal role in developing our flagship commercial Joule Hive Thermal Battery.
