About the Opportunity:

Our next venture addresses a critical need: designing freezers to prevent freezer burn and maintain food freshness: https://www.savorsafer.net/.

We’re seeking a Electrical Engineer Founder to revolutionize food preservation — reducing freezer burn, keeping food fresh, and cutting waste. You’ll define the product, validate the market, and build the technical roadmap, bringing cutting-edge research or industry experience into a venture-backed startup.

What You’ll Do:

  • Design, build, and test next-generation freezer systems for supercooled states.
  • Integrate electrical, magnetic, and thermal subsystems for precise control.
  • Develop circuits, power electronics, and control logic for tunable field applications.
  • Collaborate with mechanical engineers, physicists, and materials scientists to optimize performance.
  • Implement safety protocols, power management, and fail-safes for high-field, low-temperature environments.
  • Support prototyping, troubleshooting, and scaling from lab to production.
  • Document designs and testing protocols to accelerate deployment.

What We’re Looking For:

  • BSc/MSc in Electrical Engineering (PhD a plus).
  • Strong in circuit design, power electronics, and control systems.
  • Experience with magnetic/electric field generation & control (e.g., coils, high-voltage, PWM).
  • Knowledge of cryogenics or refrigeration systems is highly desirable.
  • Skilled in embedded systems and real-time control.
  • Hands-on with prototyping and troubleshooting electromechanical systems.
  • Team-oriented, documentation-driven, and entrepreneurial.
  • (Bonus) Startup or project-leadership experience.

We Offer:

  • $600k in pre-seed funding and operational support to launch the company.
  • Access to a curated network of technical advisors, industry partners, and early adopters.
  • Collaboration with our venture team for customer development, fundraising, and hiring.
  • A competitive compensation package, including founder-level equity and a stipend.
