Full job description
About Noon Energy Noon Energy is a leader in long-duration energy storage, developing battery technology that stores energy by splitting CO₂, eliminating reliance on rare metals. We are scaling from megawatt (MW) to gigawatt (GW) production of our energy storage products. Our vision is a fully renewable future powered by nature-inspired energy storage. Our compact battery technology delivers 100–1,000+ hours of storage using air-abundant molecules rather than rare metals, enabling affordable, on-demand renewable electricity. We are seeking a Senior Mechanical Engineer with 7–10 years of hands-on experience to lead the design, development, and continuous improvement of mechanical systems and hardware products. This role spans concept through production and requires strong analytical capability, technical ownership, and the ability to work effectively across engineering disciplines.
