Electrical Engineering Intern supporting the development and optimization of electrical components for desalination devices. Responsibilities include power management, sensor interfacing, system reliability, and design or simulation using Altium, MATLAB, or similar tools. The role involves hands-on hardware development, collaboration with engineers, and onsite work in Torrance, California, including physical activities such as standing, crouching, walking, and lifting up to 50 pounds.

Software Engineering Intern supporting internal tools, production and manufacturing workflows, system integrations, operational dashboards, backend services, and cloud infrastructure. The role includes debugging, testing, and shipping improvements alongside senior engineers. Candidates should have strong programming fundamentals, experience with Python or TypeScript, and familiarity with APIs, web applications, or cloud systems. The position is fully onsite in Torrance, California.

Mechanical Engineering Intern supporting the design and optimization of high-pressure desalination and water treatment systems. Responsibilities include prototyping, testing, refining lightweight mechanical components, and analyzing materials and system designs for reliability and performance. The role involves hands-on development hardware work, collaboration with multidisciplinary engineers, and fully onsite work in Torrance, California.

Owner of full outbound sales motion and full sales cycle across maritime, humanitarian, military, and retail channels. Responsibilities include prospecting, cold outreach, qualification, demos, proposals, negotiation, contract redlines, pipeline management, forecasting, market intelligence, event representation, and refining the outbound playbook with Head of Sales to meet quarterly and annual revenue targets.

Lead international market activation and GTM for next-generation desalination products. Conduct market research, navigate regulatory requirements, build strategic public and private partnerships, manage pilot projects and pipelines, inform pricing and product roadmaps, and coordinate cross-functional teams to convert opportunities into revenue ahead of product launch.

Design, develop, and optimize manufacturing processes and production lines for desalination systems. Lead DFM/DFA, tooling/fixtures, automation and control integration. Define cycle-times, yield, and quality metrics; create work instructions and validate manufacturing methods. Drive continuous improvement, collaborate with procurement/quality/test teams, and support ramp-up with vendors.

Design mechanical components (pumps, valves, pressure vessels) and take consumer hardware from concept to high-volume production. Develop design criteria, perform FEA and testing, iterate for reliability, design automated production lines and robot end effectors, optimize manufacturing yield and processes, and collaborate across teams while performing hands-on development work.

Full-cycle recruiter for an early-stage startup: partner with hiring managers, design interview processes, source/screen candidates, coordinate interviews, maintain ATS data, support offers and pre-employment steps, improve recruiting workflows, build talent pipelines, and ensure a strong candidate experience while acting as a company ambassador.

Design, develop, commission, and manage automation and controls systems for manufacturing, testing, and end-of-line validation. Architect PLC and controls software, select factory control platforms, design automated equipment and safety systems, create HMI screens and electrical documentation, and support commissioning, troubleshooting, and scaling of factory systems.

Lead design, prototyping, testing, and production ramp of mechanical subsystems (pumps, valves, pressure vessels). Drive tradeoffs for performance, reliability, manufacturability, and cost; build and run test plans; support supplier selection and production ramp; collaborate with cross-functional teams and mentor junior engineers.
