Job description

Launch Modular Systems That Scale

Location: Franklin, TN (On-Site)
Type: Full-Time
Seniority: Director / Hardware Product Leadership

Join Enexor BioEnergy

Enexor is a venture-backed climate tech company outside Nashville, building modular systems that convert waste into clean energy and capture CO₂ at the source. We move fast, build real hardware, and take pride in solving tough engineering problems that matter.

Why This Role Matters

We’re launching multiple new small-scale, modular products and need a product development leader to drive that forward. You’ll own the full product lifecycle across new platforms: from early prototypes to final builds. This role sits at the intersection of strategy, engineering, and execution, and is key to how we scale and ship.

What You’ll Do

  • Lead cross-functional hardware product development across mechanical, electrical, process, and controls
  • Drive programs from concept through design, prototyping, testing, and field deployment
  • Work hands-on with engineering and manufacturing to ensure real-world reliability and field-readiness
  • Own program planning, timelines, and risk management across multiple concurrent product tracks
  • Balance performance, cost, and manufacturability in all decisions
  • Collaborate directly with the CEO and technical leadership on roadmap and priorities
  • Build scalable systems and documentation to support ongoing development and production

Requirements

What We’re Looking For

  • B.S. or M.S. in Mechanical, Systems, or related Engineering field
  • 8+ years in hardware product development, with experience launching complex electromechanical systems
  • Proven ability to lead multi-disciplinary teams and manage technical programs end-to-end
  • Strong mechanical and/or system integration intuition—comfortable in CAD, shop, and field
  • Experience with modular or containerized system design
  • Deep ownership mindset and bias for action

Bonus Points For:

  • Background in energy systems, carbon capture, or gas treatment
  • Experience working in or alongside startups or fast-moving hardware teams

Benefits

Why You’ll Love It Here

  • Mission with urgency
  • Flat org, fast decisions
  • Equity upside in a growing climate tech startup
  • Hands-on, real-world product work

Compensation & Benefits

  • Competitive salary + equity opportunities
  • 401(k) and QSEHRA health stipend
  • Paid vacation and holidays

Ready to Build What Matters?

Send your resume and a short note to [email protected]. Mention any builds, systems, or fieldwork that show your bias for action and real-world impact.
