Full job description

We're seeking a Director of Engineering to lead and scale our multidisciplinary engineering team as we develop, build, and deploy the next generation of our waste-to-energy and carbon capture systems. You'll be both strategist and builder-setting the engineering vision, managing execution, and rolling up your sleeves to help solve complex hardware challenges.

This is a critical leadership role reporting directly to the CEO. You will own the engineering organization while collaborating across product development, fabrication, and field deployment to take ideas from whiteboard to world-changing systems. What You'll Do - Lead and grow a world-class mechanical, electrical, and controls engineering team. - Drive end-to-end product development-from concept to CAD, DFM, fabrication, commissioning, and continuous improvement. - Build scalable engineering processes that support rapid prototyping and high-reliability deployment. - Own technical architecture decisions and cross-functional integration across subsystems (combustion, thermal, gas separation, pressure, controls). - Guide engineering trade-offs with strong first-principles thinking and cost-performance analysis. - Partner with the CEO and executive team on strategic initiatives, resource planning, and technical hiring. - Instill a culture of ownership, urgency, and innovation in everything you build.

Requirements What We're Looking For - B.S. or M.S. in Mechanical Engineering or related field; deep hardware/system experience required. - 10+ years of engineering experience, including 5+ in technical leadership or management roles. - Proven success developing complex mechanical or thermal systems-ideally in energy, emissions, or industrial environments. - Hands-on experience with pressure vessels, piping, structural systems, heat transfer, or adsorption tech is a major plus. - Strong grasp of CAD (Inventor), simulation (FEA/CFD and other Process Modeling), and manufacturing workflows. - Comfortable wearing multiple hats: player-coach, mentor, problem-solver, and executor. - Bonus: Familiarity with modular product design, automation, or containerized systems.

Benefits Why You'll Love It Here - Mission with urgency: You'll help solve real-world energy and emissions problems with technology that scales. - No red tape: Fast decisions, flat org, and deep ownership. - Equity upside: This is an early-stage leadership opportunity with real skin in the game. - True engineering culture: We build, we test, we fix, we deploy.

Compensation &

Benefits - Competitive salary + equity stake in a fast-growing climate tech company. - 401(k) plan and health insurance stipend (QSEHRA). - Paid vacation and holidays. Ready to Lead? Send your resume and a brief note about your background to careers@enexor.com.

We're especially interested in candidates who have led teams building high-performance energy systems, carbon capture, or other hard-tech infrastructure.
