Senior Systems Engineer - Echogen Power Systems JumpStart Inc.

Echogen Power Systems, a private company based in Akron, Ohio is commercializing waste heat to power with a proprietary system. Since its founding in April, 2007, Echogen has developed a breakthrough power generation cycle called the Thermafficient Waste Heat Recovery Engine. Echogen's target customer groups include power generation and large energy consumers in the Industrial sector with waste heat recovery opportunities found in their respective steam generating and direct-fired heating processes (e.g., furnaces, kilns, etc.). Industrial customer groups include chemical processing, petroleum refining, iron, steel, etc., typically operating with large sources of energy loss from hot exhaust gases and residual heat in liquid product streams. Waste heat reduction and recovery represents the greatest opportunity for reducing energy loss in these industries.

The Senior Systems Engineer is responsible for integrating fluid, electrical, instrumentation and control components into an optimized and efficient heat engine. As such, the Senior Systems Engineer will be responsible for managing an internal team of systems engineers, component designers and owners, and will also work closely with outside contract engineering resources, component and subcomponent vendors to ensure timely execution of deliverables. The Senior Systems Engineer will focus heavily on commercial systems and project management to deliver a technical solution to respond to customer needs on a cradle to grave basis.
