Engineering & Commercial Specialist (Level Based on Experience)

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.
