Job Description
Dig Energy is an early stage startup enabling affordable geothermal energy for heating, cooling, and refrigeration. We have developed and are deploying a radically inexpensive drilling method that creates geothermal boreholes anywhere in the world. Our initial focus is on residential and commercial heating/cooling. We’ve raised funding from top investors and are now looking to move from initial prototypes to a commercial drilling system. Due to the hands-on nature of our work, this is an on-site role, and we’re looking for someone who can come into our office in Manchester, NH. The Role We are looking for multi-disciplinary and experienced engineers that can own and execute on core engineering challenges while building processes for quality and scale.

They will work closely with our CTO on overall software architecture and be responsible for all aspects of implementation. This role is highly hands-on, and a successful applicant will be as comfortable coding behind a desk as they are in the field supporting the team while testing.
