Description

Our Mission  

SPAN is enabling electrification for all ⚡

SPAN is mission-driven to design, build, and deploy products that electrify our built environment, decarbonize our world, and slow the effects of climate change.

  • Decarbonization is the process to reduce or remove greenhouse gas emissions, especially carbon dioxide, from entering our atmosphere.

  • Electrification is the process of replacing fossil fuel appliances that run on gas or oil with all-electric upgrades for a cleaner way to power our lives.

The Role

The Span engineering team is made of experienced, passionate people with expertise in electronics, mechanical design, energy systems, and embedded software. We are seeking a passionate mechanical or electrical engineering student to join the hardware development team of SPAN. As a reliability engineering intern, you will apply your knowledge of electrical and mechanical system failures to assist Span’s hardware design, testing, and manufacturing efforts.

The engineering challenges we face at Span apply to various industries, with engineering challenges similar to climate tech, consumer electronics, and construction industries. Compared to other climate tech companies, Span offers the ability to work on a project that is out of the “science phase” and in the engineering execution phase, so you will be working to deliver from prototype to product. 

 In this role, you will:

  • Create reliability test setups and own them from concept, design, manufacturing, and testing.
  • Write reliability test plans and see them through test execution, data analysis and reporting results.
  • Interface with cross-functional teams such as mechanical engineering, software engineering, firmware engineering, and products to define test specifications.
  • Read datasheets and analyze electrical component specifications for design for reliability.
  • Own the build out of our in-house reliability lab, you will procure and develop test equipment to support testing on our current and future products.
