Senior Thermal Engineer - Rebound Technologies
Denver, CO
About the Job
At Rebound, for the last 12 years, we have been developing a revolutionary technology that will change how we cool everything. It is based on a freeze point suppression cycle that offers a 3-in-1 solution, combining agile freezing, unprecedented humidity control and demand response capabilities. Addressing huge markets like cold chain logistics companies, data centers and frozen food processors, Rebound's IcePoint® meets varying cooling demands while simultaneously optimizing moisture levels equating to improved system performance, increased productivity, lower demand charges and excellent return on investment. IcePoint's thermal storage capability has already proven to be the cheapest battery on the planet, and will support decarbonization of the grid via year-round thermal storage and flexible demand.
We are looking for team members to support our fast growth. This position requires above average attention to details, concern for the exact correctness of work, and strong commitment to tasks completed on time. The person in this position is expected to take work seriously, have a strong sense of duty, and be disciplined. We are looking at a somewhat faster-than-average pace that will be the norm for this position. Detailed, specialized work is the major focus. The person in this position will be given clearly defined work, responsibilities, and reporting relationships, ongoing and thorough training opportunities to develop expertise and increase confidence. The position will provide security in a stable work environment, allowing you to plan for, focus on and complete tasks on hand.
