The Staff Sales Engineer - Grid Scale reports to the Senior Sales Engineering Manager and serves as a senior technical contributor within the sales cycle for solution architecture, estimating, and system integration strategy on Mainspring's largest deployments: sites of 10 MW and above that either connect directly to the grid or serve large load sites such as data centers.

As a member of the Sales Engineering team (a subset of Project Delivery), this role exercises independent technical judgment to develop cost-optimized, execution-ready multi-MW plant solutions aligned with Mainspring's linear generator capabilities. The Staff Sales Engineer is accountable for architectural integrity, commercial rigor, and seamless transition from concept through execution, including a clean handoff of the design basis, estimate, and scope assumptions to Project Management and Project Engineering at contract award.
