Full Job Description
Distributed Water Infrastructure Stealth Co Location: NYC About Montauk Capital Montauk Capital https://www.montaukclimate.com/ is an investment management platform that spans venture investing and venture studio efforts. We build and invest in the ‘Electron Economy,’ the massive shift toward software-enabled industrial and energy systems. This generational transition is reshaping how we power intelligence, move people and goods, and build resilient industries. From AI, data centers and Web3 to industrial robotics and re-shoring supply chains, the future of growth is built on electrification and the intelligent use of energy. ABOUT DISTRIBUTED WATER INFRASTRUCTURE STEALTH CO We are pioneering a new approach to delivering clean, affordable drinking water through distributed, intelligent water-generation and distribution systems. Leveraging AI and edge computing, the platform continuously optimizes performance, efficiency, and reliability at the local level while enabling scalable deployment across diverse environments. We have established partnerships, have begun fundraising, and are preparing to move from prototype to pilot and scale deployments across event driven and permanent installations. ROLE SUMMARY: We’re seeking a Founding Hardware Engineer to define and execute Aquanode’s technology strategy across hardware and firmware. This is a founding engineer role for a builder who thrives at the intersection of hard tech and productization, and most importantly, is committed to building a generational company in the climate resilience space. You will architect and scale the hardware and coordinate closely with the control systems and connected-device platform, turning prototypes into reliable, field-ready kiosks that operate as a coordinated network across sites, to yield a scalable, reliable water network. You’ll define the platform boundaries—what’s in hardware, firmware, cloud, and at the edge—so the system scales efficiently. You’ll partner with existing vendors
