Cofondateur - Technologie de refroidissement / Product Co-Founder - Next-Generation Cooling Technology
TandemLaunch
À propos de nous
TandemLaunch est un studio de création d'entreprises établi à Montréal qui s'associe à des chercheurs, des inventeurs et des experts de l'industrie de calibre mondial pour bâtir des startups autour d'innovations de pointe (deep tech). Nous atténuons les risques liés aux technologies en début de parcours en les jumelant à des entrepreneurs chevronnés, à un accompagnement concret en création d'entreprise et à un accès au capital – propulsant une propriété intellectuelle prometteuse du laboratoire jusqu'à une entreprise financeable et prête pour le marché.
À propos de l'occasion
Nous bâtissons une nouvelle entreprise autour d'une technologie de refroidissement révolutionnaire qui s'affranchit de la réfrigération conventionnelle à compresseur. La plateforme vise des gains marqués en efficacité énergétique et en réduction du bruit, avec des applications allant de la réfrigération et de la climatisation résidentielles et commerciales jusqu'à la gestion thermique des composants électroniques. Nous constituons maintenant l'équipe fondatrice qui cernera les cibles de propriété intellectuelle, définira le produit, validera les marchés visés et fera passer l'entreprise de la technologie à la société.
À propos du poste
Nous recherchons un entrepreneur en résidence (EeR) pour se joindre à l'équipe à titre de cofondateur, Produit, pour cette entreprise. Vous serez responsable de la stratégie de produit et de la commercialisation, en travaillant côte à côte avec le ou les cofondateurs techniques afin de transformer une plateforme de refroidissement novatrice en produits gagnants dans les marchés de la réfrigération et de la climatisation ainsi que du refroidissement électronique. Il s'agit d'un rôle concret, à bâtir à partir de zéro, pour une personne qui souhaite cofonder et aider à diriger une entreprise, et non simplement la conseiller.
Ce que vous ferez
- Définir et piloter la stratégie de produit et la feuille de route de la plateforme de refroidissement, tant pour les applications de réfrigération et de climatisation que pour le refroidissement électronique
- Diriger la démarche d'écoute de la clientèle auprès des fabricants d'équipement d'origine (FEO), des intégrateurs et des utilisateurs finaux afin de cerner l'application et le cas d'usage initiaux à plus forte valeur
- Traduire les capacités techniques (gains d'efficacité, réduction du bruit) en exigences de produit, en spécifications et en propositions de valeur pour les clients visés
- Travailler en étroite collaboration avec le ou les cofondateurs techniques afin d'harmoniser le développement en ingénierie avec les exigences du marché et de la commercialisation
- Évaluer la fabricabilité, la structure de coûts, la chaîne d'approvisionnement et les voies de mise à l'échelle de la technologie sous les formes de produit visées
- Établir des relations commerciales, des projets pilotes et des partenariats préliminaires avec des clients, des partenaires de distribution ou des titulaires de licence potentiels
- Contribuer à façonner la stratégie de l'entreprise, le discours de financement et le plan de mise en marché à titre de membre de l'équipe fondatrice
- Créer et tenir à jour une documentation rigoureuse, notamment les exigences de produit, les analyses de marché et les registres des compromis techniques et commerciaux
Ce que nous recherchons
- Diplôme en génie mécanique, en science des matériaux ou dans un domaine technique connexe (un diplôme de cycle supérieur est un atout)
- Expérience industrielle ou commerciale dans les marchés de la réfrigération, du CVCA/climatisation ou de la gestion électronique et thermique
- Expérience commerciale démontrée – p. ex. gestion de produit, développement des affaires ou commercialisation – attestée par un parcours dans les industries mentionnées ci-dessus
- Une connaissance pratique des technologies de refroidissement à compresseur ou de solutions de rechange (p. ex. à l'état solide, thermoélectrique, magnétocalorique, élastocalorique) est un atout
- Aisance à évoluer à l'intersection de l'ingénierie, de la fabrication et de la stratégie commerciale
- Solides aptitudes en communication, avec la capacité de vulgariser des compromis techniques complexes pour des publics tant techniques que non techniques
- Grande motivation à travailler avec une autonomie importante tout en collaborant étroitement avec l'équipe fondatrice et technique
- Un esprit entrepreneurial : à l'aise dans l'ambiguïté, porté vers l'action et stimulé par l'idée de bâtir une entreprise à partir de zéro
Ce que nous offrons
- Une participation au capital de niveau fondateur dans l'entreprise, reflétant votre rôle de cofondateur, Produit
- Une allocation ou rémunération concurrentielle durant la phase de création de l'entreprise, soutenue par TandemLaunch
- Un accès direct à la plateforme du studio de TandemLaunch – incluant le financement, le soutien opérationnel et un vaste réseau d'experts de l'industrie, d'investisseurs et de conseillers
- L'occasion de façonner une entreprise dès ses tout débuts, de la définition du produit jusqu'au lancement et à la mise à l'échelle
- Un environnement collaboratif et dynamique basé à Montréal (Québec), en mode hybride

About Us
TandemLaunch is a Montreal-based venture studio that partners with world-class researchers, inventors, and industry experts to build startups around breakthrough deep-tech innovations. We de-risk early-stage technology by pairing it with experienced entrepreneurial talent, hands-on venture-building support, and access to capital – taking promising IP from the lab to a fundable, market-ready company.
About the Opportunity
We are building a new venture around a breakthrough cooling technology that moves away from conventional compressor-based refrigeration. The platform targets step-change improvements in energy efficiency and acoustic noise, with applications spanning residential and commercial refrigeration/air conditioning as well as thermal management for electronics. We are now assembling the founding team to identify IP targets, define the product, validate target markets, and take the venture from technology to company.
About the Role
We are seeking an Entrepreneur-in-Residence (EiR) to join as Product Co-Founder for this venture. You will own product strategy and commercialization, working side-by-side with the technical co-founder(s) to translate a novel cooling platform into products that win in refrigeration/AC and electronic cooling markets. This is a hands-on, build-from-zero role for someone who wants to co-found and help lead a company, not just advise one.
What You'll Do
- Define and drive the product strategy and roadmap for the cooling platform across refrigeration/AC and electronic cooling applications
- Lead voice-of-customer discovery with OEMs, integrators, and end users to identify the highest-value initial application and use case
- Translate technical capabilities (efficiency gains, noise reduction) into product requirements, specifications, and value propositions for target customers
- Work closely with the technical co-founder(s) to align engineering development with market and commercial requirements
- Assess manufacturability, cost structure, supply chain, and scale-up pathways for the technology in target product forms
- Build early commercial relationships, pilots, and partnerships with potential customers, channel partners, or licensees
- Help shape company strategy, fundraising narrative, and go-to-market plan as a member of the founding team
- Create and maintain rigorous documentation, including product requirements, market analysis, and technical/commercial trade-off records
What We're Looking For
- Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, or a related technical field (advanced degree an asset)
- Industrial/commercial experience in refrigeration, HVAC/AC, or electronic/thermal management markets
- Demonstrated commercial experience – e.g. product management, business development, or commercialization – evidenced by a track record in the above industries
- Working knowledge of compressor-based and/or alternative (e.g. solid-state, thermoelectric, magnetocaloric, elastocaloric) cooling technologies is an asset
- Comfort operating at the interface of engineering, manufacturing, and commercial strategy
- Strong communication skills, capable of distilling complex technical trade-offs for both technical and non-technical audiences
- Highly motivated to work with significant autonomy while collaborating closely with the founding and technical team
- An entrepreneurial mindset: comfortable with ambiguity, biased toward action, and energized by building a company from the ground up
What We Offer
- A founder-level equity stake in the venture, reflecting your role as Product Co-Founder
- Competitive stipend/compensation during the venture-building phase, supported by TandemLaunch
- Direct access to TandemLaunch's venture studio platform – including funding, operational support, and an extensive network of industry experts, investors, and advisors
- The opportunity to shape a company from its earliest days, from product definition through to launch and scale
- A collaborative, fast-paced environment based in Montreal, QC (hybrid)
