***About Rhoic*** At Rhoic, we’re on a mission to help people and the environment by making industry more efficient and sustainable with our new nano-manufacturing technology. Rhoic is poised to tackle some of the world's biggest problems like removing forever chemicals and CO2 from our environment to transforming energy solutions. We're building a next generation electrospinner that can produce nanofibers for performance materials with higher precision and at significantly lower cost across industries. This is a tool with the potential for deep impact and we will deploy it where it can make the greatest difference. If you're motivated by real-world challenges with real impact, you'll find a driven team that shares your passion here at Rhoic. ## About the Role We are seeking a highly skilled and hands-on Founding Engineer with expertise in mechatronics, software integration, and industrial automation. This role is for someone who thrives in a fast-moving startup environment, is willing to roll up their sleeves and build, and can bridge the gap between electrical engineering, software development, and mechanical system design. As the first engineering team member at Rhoic, you will have a direct impact on our core technology and play a critical role in shaping the company’s future. You’ll lead the development of our high-voltage system, design how firmware and software interact with our technology, and guide the mechanical integration needed to bring it all together. We’re looking for someone who sees engineering not just as technical problem-solving, but as a tool to help people and solve meaningful problems at scale. ## What You’ll Do: - Lead the end-to-end development of Rhoic’s core technology, from prototyping to deployment. - Direct mechanical system development, working with prototyping tools (e.g., 3D printing, 8020, bent sheet metal). - Develop firmware and software to interface with our system, integrating high-speed digital communication, industrial automation, and control logic. - Own PCB design and layout, power electronics, and industrial testing. - Establish and implement best practices for engineering, safety, and reliability in a high-voltage industrial setting. - Work hands-on in the lab to build, test, and iterate on designs quickly. - Collaborate closely with leadership on strategic decisions and long-term technology roadmaps. ## What We’re Looking For We know the best candidates don’t always check every box, but if most of these describe you, we’d love to talk: ### Must-Haves (Core Requirements) - Expert in end-to-end mechanical system design, from concept to scale-up, with deep proficiency in CAD (Fusion, SolidWorks, Onshape, etc.) and a track record of building robust, manufacturable assemblies for automation and high-throughput environments. - Deep understanding of electrical engineering fundamentals with the ability to apply them hands-on. - Proven ability to design and implement automated electromechanical systems, integrating sensors, actuators, and control systems for scalable, reliable operations in advanced manufacturing. - Experience collaborating with fabrication houses, ensuring design for manufacturability (DFM) - Comfort using lab equipment (oscilloscopes, HV supplies) and mechanical prototyping (8020 frames, sheet metal, 3D printing). - Able to program microcontrollers or single-board computers for sensor data acquisition, control loops, or communications. - Willing iterate rapidly, pivot, and solve problems that pop up unexpectedly. - This is a deeply hands-on lab environment. You’ll be building and testing hardware in real time. ### Nice-to-Haves - Experience designing and building HV systems (10kV+). Familiarity with safety standards, insulation, breakdown prevention. - Familiarity with PLCs, motion control, or advanced robotics. - Direct experience with electrospinning processes, nanofiber fabrication, or other advanced materials manufacturing. - Experience designing or implementing advanced control loops, data capture, or high-speed digital interfaces with FPGAs or Real-Time systems. - Building UI dashboards, data analysis tools, or integrating with cloud services for remote monitoring. - Previous record of building an engineering team, establishing best practices, and mentoring junior engineers. ## **Why Join Rhoic?** - A rare opportunity to build a category-defining company from the ground up doing work that matters for people and planet. - Ownership and leadership in a critical engineering function. - A dynamic, hands-on role where you’ll actually build the tech, not just oversee it. - Work alongside a passionate, fun, and mission-driven team focused on climate impact and advanced manufacturing. - A culture of curiosity, respect, and shared ownership, where your contributions shape the path forward.
