**Build the things that build the future.**
At Solstice Storage we are committed to decarbonising the behemoth that is industrial heat. We are looking for the doers, makers and visionaries of tomorrow, starting with a mechanical lead. Do you have a track record of building real things, and do you want to lead a product from first design to a working product?
We are now hiring one of our first key people: someone who will join the journey and help steer its course.
**The role**
As Mechanical Lead you will play a key role in turning our prototype into a product we can build, ship and install again and again. You lead the technical development from requirements to tested hardware, you stay hands-on, and you work side by side with the rest of the team and with external partners such as suppliers, research institutions and customers.
**What you will do**
* Lead the technical development: requirements, concept, detailed design, prototype build, test and verification.
* Design, analyse and iterate mechanical systems, from high-temperature structures and insulation to the interfaces between parts.
* Own the system view: set the interfaces where electronics, controls and process needs meet the mechanical design.
* Plan and run prototype builds and tests, both in the lab and in the field, and turn the results into design decisions.
* Keep safety, reliability, manufacturability and compliance (such as CE and relevant design codes) in view, and keep specifications and drawings in order.
* Select and manage suppliers, workshops and test partners.
* Help hire and lead the engineers who join next.
**Who you are**
* You are curious.
* You have an exceptional track record of building things, and you know what happens when theory meets the shop floor.
* You are a sharp problem solver who relies less on having the answers than on having a method for problems you haven’t met before.
* You like being in the lab or workshop with real hardware, not only in CAD (SolidWorks, Creo, Inventor or similar, plus FEA).
* You are a finisher with an eye for detail, who can still decide with incomplete information.
* You have taken a physical product from idea through prototype to test, and ideally on to production or installation.
* You have led projects, people or suppliers, formally or informally.
* You speak fluent English. Swedish is a plus.
**Nice to have**
* Experience with thermal systems, high-temperature materials or energy storage.
* Experience from a startup, hardware scale-up or workshop environment.
* Knowledge of CE marking, pressure equipment or industrial safety requirements.
* You are entrepreneurial and want to shape a product and a team, not just execute a spec.
**What we offer**
* A key role with ownership from day one.
* The chance to shape the product, the team and the way we work at an early stage.
* A small team of engineers with short decision paths, building technology that takes fossil fuels out of industrial heat.
* Stock warrants.
* A flat hierarchy where we value who you are.
