About The Position

This job isn't for everyone. You're the right person if you've done something extraordinary early, want ownership, get energized by hard problems, are uncomfortable waiting for someone else to find the answer, and find the shop floor more interesting than a conference room. This role is for individuals who want to start their career doing work that actually matters.

Requirements

A degree in engineering or a quantitative or finance field.
A strong academic record from a strong program.
Evidence you've done hard things: a company you started, a competition team you led, research you drove, a job that stretched you well past your title.
Analytical horsepower — you're fast in a spreadsheet and can build a model from scratch.
A track record of finishing hard things, inside school and outside of it.
Must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident of the U.S., protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C 1324b(a)(3), or eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.

Nice To Haves

You'd rather be on the floor solving the problem than in a room talking about it.
Ownership energizes you, and ambiguity doesn't scare you.
You ask for forgiveness, not permission.
When you hit a wall, your first move is to go find out why.

Responsibilities

Own a real problem end to end — or a meaningful piece of one.
Support investor diligence — pull together the operational and financial story and help answer the questions that decide a raise.
Lead the logistics of a complex move — a test cell, a massive machine, or an entire lab relocated to a new site with minimal downtime.
Build business processes that last — the intake, the reporting cadence, the approval flow a team keeps using long after you've moved on.
Step in on a critical project that's slipping and drive it back on track — figure out what's actually blocking it, who owns what, and what happens next.
Run the analysis behind a real decision — a site-selection call, a make-vs-buy, a cost breakdown nobody's gotten to yet.
Get to ground truth. Walk the floor, talk to people, watch the process run, and dig into the raw data yourself.
Turn the answer into action — put the fix in place before you move on to the next problem.
