The Linear Generator is a sophisticated, automated, and integrated system spanning a wide range of engineering disciplines including thermodynamics, mechanical, electrical, software, and controls. This position will lead the operation and execution of experiments on our Linear Generators as part of Mainspring’s test engineering team. This includes hands-on work and remote operation of our Linear Generator qualification units, debugging, and data analysis aimed at qualifying new changes and reliability of our product. This position will require travel up to 30% time to our testing site in Houston, Texas.
\nWe are looking for an open-minded, curious, and highly motivated Test Engineer to join our dynamic test engineering team. You will lead critical sub-system and system-level validation and reliability tests on new releases of our product. This role will require strong collaboration across the entire engineering and business organization.
\nThis is the first dedicated Revenue Accounting Operations hire in Mainspring’s history. We’re commercializing the linear generator - a breakthrough technology that converts a wide range of fuels directly into electricity - with a growing fleet of deployed systems and strong commercial traction.
\nYou won’t be stepping into a defined lane. You’ll own the full quote-to-cash cycle, bring the technical accounting rigor our complex revenue streams demand, and build the processes that carry us through our next phase of growth. You’ll report directly to the VP of Finance and Controller, sit at the center of our most critical financial workflows, and have a front-row seat to everything ahead of us.
\nThis is a role for someone who wants real ownership - not a process to maintain, but a function to build. If you’re technically sharp, hungry to make an impact, and motivated by meaningful work at a company solving a real energy challenge, read on.
\nYou have deep, practical experience in revenue accounting or revenue operations - and you’ve been in the room when ASC 606 questions get complicated. You’ve managed billing tied to milestones, navigated financing overlays, and answered an auditor’s question without needing to check with anyone first. Just as important: you see the current manual workflow and want to fix it, not just run it.

Excellence without Ego. We bring expertise and commitment to creating the best customer experience, from sales to deployment and service, just as we apply deep technical rigor to building and delivering world-class products. We strive for excellence and behave as leaders with the humility to acknowledge our challenges, both collectively and as individual contributors.
Proactive Collaboration. The integration and cross-disciplinary nature of Mainspring’s business requires intentionally seeking out others who bring different skills, perspectives, and priorities.

We are seeking a highly capable Manufacturing Engineer with a strong mechanical engineering foundation to bridge the gap between product design and scalable production.
\nIn this role, you will partner closely with Mechanical Design Engineering to ensure our products are not only functional, but manufacturable, scalable, and robust at volume. You will play a critical role in shaping design decisions early—driving DFM/DFX, tolerance strategies, and assembly error-proofing into the product architecture.
\nThis is not a downstream role. You will actively challenge and influence design concepts, ensuring they are suitable for high-volume production—not just prototype success.
\nThe ideal candidate combines strong mechanical design fundamentals with hands-on manufacturing experience and thrives in collaborative, fast-paced environments.
\nDoes your experience not meet all of our posted requirements? Studies have shown that some people are less likely to apply to positions unless they meet every listed requirement. At Mainspring, we are committed to building a diverse, inclusive, flexible, and collaborative environment, so if you want to help us transition the world to clean and affordable electricity, and don’t meet all posted requirements for a particular role, we’d still love to hear from you. Mainspring can sometimes be flexible enough to shift responsibilities for the right person, or otherwise identify open or upcoming roles that may better fit your professional background.
\nIn more traditional words, Mainspring Energy, Inc is an Equal Opportunity Employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, or protected veteran status and will not be discriminated against on the basis of disability.
\nThis compensation and benefits information is based on Mainspring Energy's estimate as of the date of publication and may be modified in the future. We generally do not negotiate on salary once we have made an offer. The level of pay within the range will depend on a variety of job-related factors that may include location, relevant prior experience and/or education, or particular skills and expertise. New hires joining the company tend to be paid within the starting base pay range noted above, with opportunities to increase pay over time based on development of additional skills, competencies, and company-specific knowledge.
