Who we are looking for

We’re looking for a mechanical engineer who gets the whole system, not just their part. Someone who can design for scale, handle tight constraints, and work closely with electronics and design to make the product real.

Job type

Full-time

Relevant experiences

Experience taking mechanical designs into production, including sealing, DFM, and supplier collaboration

Strong understanding of how mechanics and electronics interact, especially around PCBs, connectors, and layout

Practical experience with thermal or environmental design in sealed products

Nice to Have

Worked on products that went through IP or thermal testing in the lab or with external partners

Familiar with mold flow analysis, part validation, and fixing issues from supplier feedback

Comfortable working closely with cross-functional teams (electronics, embedded, design) from early concept to release

Why this role might be worth your time

You’ll work on something that matters

This isn’t a lab project or a demo that gets scrapped after a pitch. These are real products that will live in people’s homes – exposed to heat, cold, moisture, rough handling, and time. Your mechanical decisions won’t just matter – they’ll make the difference between something that ships and something that fails.

You won’t be boxed in

You’ll work across the full stack – sealing, layout, thermal, DFM – and own your part all the way to production. You’ll be hands-on with suppliers, iterate on prototypes, and make real tradeoffs between design, function, and manufacturing. You’ll work side-by-side with electronics, embedded, and design, not in silos.

You’ll shape the mechanical function at Starflow

You’re not joining a big team with set ways of doing things. You’ll help set the standard. Together with Roman, you’ll define how we work, how we build, and how we scale. No legacy. Just a clean slate and products that demands your best work.

Your mission

You’ll join Roman to own the mechanical design across Starflow’s energy system – sealed, compact, production-ready products built for real homes and real scale. This isn’t a support role. You’ll drive key mechanical decisions from early concept to tooling release, working closely with electronics, embedded software, and design to make sure the physical products hold up in the real world.

Build sealed enclosures that can ship

Design and validate enclosures that hold up in the real world. From CAD to sealing tests, your work must meet IP and thermal requirements and be ready for production.

Fit electronics and mechanics into clean, buildable layouts

Route PCBs, connectors, buttons, and cables into smart mechanical layouts. Make sure things align, fit, and can be assembled fast and secure – every time.

Solve heat with mechanical thinking

Plan and verify thermal paths using layout, materials, and interface design. The goal: safe operation under load, even when sealed.

Get us ready for production

Own the supplier handoff. Manage tooling, DFM, and fix issues fast. Keep drawings, specs, and BOMs tight and ready for ramp-up.

Lay the mechanical groundwork at Starflow

Help shape our mechanical platform, how we work, document, and make decisions across product lines. Your work becomes part of how we scale.

Who we’re looking for

You’ve built something real. Not barebones prototypes, but hardware that survived tooling, assembly, testing – and time. You think in details, but never lose sight of how things go together. You know that design decisions affect heat, sealing, cost, and how much a technician swears during assembly.

You know what it takes to go from design to production

You’ve seen how theory breaks down at the factory floor. You care about draft angles, sealing, tolerances – not because they’re buzzwords, but because you’ve had to fix them when they weren’t right. Shipping a physical product taught you where to focus and what to compromise.

You get how mechanics and electronics need to work together

You don’t just “leave space for the PCB.” You think about connector access, cable routing, serviceability, and thermal paths – and how all of it fits together without fighting. Your layouts make sense in the real world, not just in CAD.

You take heat, moisture, and time seriously

You’ve seen how plastic warps, how metal expands, and how seals fail when real life hits. You’ve worked with heat sinks, materials, and layouts to keep things in range. You test for what matters, and you design with it in mind from day one.

Power and Energy

Software Development

Electronics

Starflow is building a seamless platform that brings together solar panels, home batteries, EV chargers, and the grid. At the core is a smart hybrid inverter — designed to become the central control unit of the modern home, capable of monitoring, managing, and optimizing energy use automatically.

With advanced hardware and open software architecture, the system will adapt to each home in real time. It’s being developed to help lower energy bills, enable storage and bring everything together in one intuitive interface. Easy to install, built to last, and ready for the energy needs of tomorrow.

Clean energy, made effortless. Quiet in presence. Powerful in action. Fully in sync with how we want to live. We’re building what energy should feel like. And this is just the beginning.

Life @ Starflow

We started Starflow to change how energy feels: seamless, intelligent, beautiful. But building something truly new doesn’t just require vision – it takes a special way of working, and people who care deeply about doing things right.

That’s why at Starflow, design isn’t just how the product looks. It’s how we think, how we make decisions, and how we come together as a team. We slow down enough to ask the right questions before chasing solutions. We create clarity first, knowing it leads to speed, calm, and confidence later.

We call this way of working the Flow process. It’s our shared rhythm, a supportive structure that removes friction rather than adding layers. It’s designed to help you feel energized, clear, and purposeful. Even when things move fast.

When you join Starflow, you don’t just fill a role. You help shape how things are done. You’ll work closely with founders, designers, engineers, and others who trust you from day one. You’ll get genuine ownership and the freedom to create something meaningful.

We’re building a team of people who love what they do, who speak honestly, who embrace uncertainty, and who genuinely care about each other and the impact they’re creating together.

Our values

From the very beginning, we knew we couldn’t leave culture to chance. If we wanted to build something that lasts, we had to be just as deliberate about how we work together as we are about the product itself.

These values aren’t something we wrote after the fact. They’ve shaped our choices from the beginning – who we hire, how we lead, how we give feedback, and what we expect of each other.

They’re not there to sound good. They’re there to be used.

Bold

We take calculated bets, aim higher than expected, and we’re not afraid to step into the unknown.

Integrity

We do what we say, and we do what’s right, even when no one’s watching.

Truth seeking

We put curiosity over comfort and clarity over ego. We don’t build on assumptions, we build on insight.

Care

We genuinely care. About the product we’re building, about the people who use it, and about each other.
