Seniority: Director / Hardware Product Leadership

Join Enexor BioEnergy

Enexor is a venture-backed climate tech company outside Nashville, building modular systems that convert waste into clean energy and capture CO₂ at the source. We move fast, build real hardware, and take pride in solving tough engineering problems that matter.

Why This Role Matters

We’re launching multiple new small-scale, modular products and need a product development leader to drive that forward. You’ll own the full product lifecycle across new platforms: from early prototypes to final builds. This role sits at the intersection of strategy, engineering, and execution, and is key to how we scale and ship.

What You’ll Do

• Lead cross-functional hardware product development across mechanical, electrical, process, and controls
• Drive programs from concept through design, prototyping, testing, and field deployment
• Work hands-on with engineering and manufacturing to ensure real-world reliability and field-readiness
• Own program planning, timelines, and risk management across multiple concurrent product tracks
• Balance performance, cost, and manufacturability in all decisions
• Collaborate directly with the CEO and technical leadership on roadmap and priorities
• Build scalable systems and documentation to support ongoing development and production

What We’re Looking For

• B.S. or M.S. in Mechanical, Systems, or related Engineering field
• 8+ years in hardware product development, with experience launching complex electromechanical systems
• Proven ability to lead multi-disciplinary teams and manage technical programs end-to-end
• Strong mechanical and/or system integration intuition—comfortable in CAD, shop, and field
• Experience with modular or containerized system design
• Deep ownership mindset and bias for action

Bonus Points For:

• Background in energy systems, carbon capture, or gas treatment
• Experience working in or alongside startups or fast-moving hardware teams

Why You’ll Love It Here

• Mission with urgency
• Flat org, fast decisions
• Equity upside in a growing climate tech startup
• Hands-on, real-world product work

Compensation & Benefits

• Competitive salary + equity opportunities
• 401(k) and QSEHRA health stipend
