Hardware Integration Engineer

About OrangeOrange is a distributed energy management company with the mission to make power productive.We are the fastest-growing EV charging company in the country, trusted by the largest developers and owners to solve their EV charging and energy management challenges.Every property we deploy runs OrangeNet, our edge-first energy platform. It unlocks idle power without complicated setup, and keeps working even in offline, real-world environments. We continue to expand the platform that supports residents, the grid, and energy-hungry workloads.Our principles:Tenacious curiosity. Dig to first principles.Relentless honesty. Say what's true, early.Reliability. Do what you say, build for the long run.Move the ball forward. Own it and get it done.We want people to join the team who are drivers, not passengers. If you want to build the intelligence layer between buildings and the grid, this is the place.The roleA Hardware Integration Engineer who prototypes, builds, and scales hardware across a wide range of products and environments, from the bench to the factory floor to customer sites.What you will doDrive mechanical design across our energy management hardware, from devices deployed indoors and out to enclosures and thermal management for high-density electronics.Maintain current products, launch new ones, and help push the bounds of what comes next.Prototype, build, and deploy power control systems: batteries, inverters, chargers, and other large loads working as one system, including next-generation dense electrical loads.Design and deploy factory test equipment and support production with our contract manufacturers.Test, debug, and root-cause hardware. Qualify it for the real world: dust, heat, rain, humidity. Run certifications and longevity testing.Make deployments simple. Work with product, electricians, and contractors on permitting, installs, and commissioning at customer sites.Work across engineering and cross-functionally with electrical, firmware, platform, and product.What you bringMechanical, electromechanical, or mechatronics degree and 2-6 years of experience, ideally at a hardware startup. Hands-on experience building or working with power control systems, microgrids, BESS, or building management systems.Familiarity with NEMA 4X enclosure design and commercial energy product deployments.SolidWorks, or Fusion and willing to switch. Comfortable in a machine shop and basic understanding of working with line voltage. Will be hands on prototyping, designing for manufacturing, and Excited about AI and always looking for ways to use it to go faster, with the judgment to keep it in check.Bay Area based. Some travel to vendors and contract manufacturers, including overseas.Nice to haveEV charging, solar, or storage products. Fixtures, test rigs, or factory test experience.Cooling systems for high-density, high-heat electronics: liquid cooling, heat exchangers, airflow management, and heat rejection in outdoor or space-constrained installs.Familiarity with certifications such as UL 3141, UL 9540, UL 2755, UL 2594, and UL 1741, along with NFPA guidelines across different classes of electrical equipment.Time on a job site or in a permit process. Battery siting and fire code basics.Why OrangeNo narrow slice. You work across every stage of the hardware, from first prototype to fleet, and build the energy and compute hardware behind our grid platform.
