Engineering & Commercial Lead (Level Based on Experience)

About NuWave

NuWave is applying industrial microwave technology to solve real-world material and process challenges—across industries where conventional approaches have remained largely unchanged.

We are now transitioning from deep R&D into commercial scale and are looking to strengthen our team with individuals who can help bridge engineering, application development, and customer execution.

The Role

This is a hybrid engineering + commercial role, focused on taking complex technical solutions and helping bring them into real industrial deployment.

Depending on experience (hence the broad salary range), this role can be structured as:

A senior, highly independent position, or
A growth role for an emerging engineer looking to build into a commercial-facing technical leader.

You will be involved across the full lifecycle:

Early customer discussions.
Feasibility and testing.
System design and configuration.
Deployment, commissioning, and support.

What You’ll Be Doing:

Work directly with customers to understand materials, processes, and requirements.
Translate technical challenges into structured solutions and system concepts.
Support feasibility testing, data interpretation, and process development.
Contribute to system design, including application-specific configurations.
Participate in installation, commissioning, and troubleshooting of industrial systems.
Bridge communication between engineering, operations, and commercial efforts.

What We’re Looking For:

We are intentionally open to a range of candidates, including:
Engineering-Led Commercial Operators:

Experience in technical sales or customer-facing engineering roles.
Comfortable owning discussions and translating technical solutions into commercial outcomes.

Microwave / RF / High-Power System Specialists:

Experience with microwave, RF, or high-energy process systems.
Familiarity with topics such as:
- Power transfer / reflection.
- Thermal processing or dielectric heating.
- Industrial-scale equipment design or operation.

Early-Career Engineers (High Potential):

Background in engineering (mechanical, electrical, physics, or similar).
Exposure to thermal systems, process engineering, RF, or industrial equipment.
Strong interest in learning and building a career in a specialized, emerging field.

Core Capabilities (Valued Across All Levels):

Experience working with industrial systems or equipment (design, testing, or field work).
Ability to read drawings, schematics, and work across disciplines.
Strong problem-solving mindset with comfort operating in ambiguity.
Interest in hands-on work, including system setup, testing, or commissioning.
Clear communicator across both technical and non-technical audiences.

Why Join NuWave:

Work with a highly differentiated and underutilized technology.
Be part of a company moving from development → real-world scaling.
Contribute to systems that go from concept → pilot → commercial deployment.
Operate in a small, high-impact team where your contributions are visible.
