Position

Purpose:

Serves as Capstone's product and technical authority supporting the territory sales organization. Operate as the primary technical resource in customer, prospect, and EPC meetings, and the interface that translates product capability into site-specific technical documentation and permitting requirements. Evaluates each proposed installation, electrical service, foundation/pad requirements, gas supply and fuel type, balance of plant connections, and equipment accessibility, to ensure microturbine systems are sized and sited correctly for performance and serviceability before contracts are signed.

Owns the technical thread of a project: product fit, drawings, and code/permitting compliance from quote support through commissioning. This role hands off a complete technical package at contract execution and stays engaged as the technical point of contact through startup.

We will be the first choice when energy matters. Our bespoke solutions solve the energy trilemma of resiliency, sustainability, and affordability. We push boundaries, challenge norms, and drive change. We're committed to making the impossible possible in the energy sector.

Our commitment to safety and security is uncompromised. At the end of each day, we are only successful when all associates can return home to their families in good wellness. Safety and security is at the heart of our advanced engineering that allows us to design, build and operate our units to do no harm.

We dare to innovate and are not afraid to fail. Our unique, stable inverter-based technology is at the forefront of the industry creating a seamless integration with our customers' energy systems. We are a high precision power technology company.

An intense zeal for excellence drives us. We are a collaborative team focused on building trust and engaging in healthy conflict to solve difficult problems quickly. Our sense of urgency ensures we meet both our own high standards and the evolving needs of our customers.
