Director of Financial Planning & Analysis 

About SkyvenAt <a href="https://skyven.co/">Skyven Technologies</a>, we have developed a revolutionary heat pump technology to decarbonize industrial heat.  We sell this technology through an innovative Energy-as-a-Service model that saves our customers money with no capital outlay.  We are hiring ​a Principal Mechanical Engineer to be part of the Product Development team. This is an opportunity to make a real impact at an innovative and growing climate tech company.Industrial heat is responsible for roughly 20% of global CO2 emissions. That’s roughly equivalent to emissions generated by all transportation (including land, sea, and air) and is a compelling business opportunity – it will take an estimated $3.7 trillion in capital investment to decarbonize the sector by 2050. Skyven is at the forefront of this transformation and has recently achieved a significant milestone by being selected for a $145M investment from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to accelerate the deployment of our state-of-the-art Skyven Arcturus steam-generating heat pumps (SGHPs) at manufacturing facilities nationwide, revolutionizing how we address energy needs while combating climate change. About the RoleIn this role, you’ll transform Skyven’s conceptual design and detailed component selections into a completely detailed product ready for procurement and construction.
