Senior Mechanical Engineer (Power Generation / Gas-to-Power)

What We’re Building Candid is building the AI layer for EPCs. We use AI to reduce the manual effort behind preconstruction engineering by automating document understanding, consistency checks, and repetitive workflow steps across major disciplines. Our goal is to make preconstruction 10x faster without sacrificing engineering quality. We recently raised $6.5M from top AI and industrial investors (including Schneider Electric and Meta’s Chief AI Scientist). Our team includes engineers from MIT, Carnegie Mellon, major LNG and power projects, and leading EPCs. What You Will Do You will help us translate real mechanical workflows into product requirements and validation checks: Define how equipment scope is developed and validated during FEED Review and validate mechanical content across datasheets, vendor packages, and discipline handoffs Create repeatable checks that catch scope gaps and inconsistencies early Map where mechanical rework happens and what typically causes it Clarify interfaces with Process, Piping, I&C, and Electrical Identify which steps are repetitive vs which require real engineering judgement Your experience will help define the checks, workflows, and product requirements that let software take on the repetitive parts, with engineers in control. What We Are Looking For 7+ years at an EPC, PMC, or owner operator Strong understanding of FEED and early detailed design mechanical workflows Experience creating and reviewing equipment datasheets and vendor packages Familiarity with ASME code driven equipment practices and common downstream equipment types Ability to spot inconsistencies across datasheets, P&IDs, and vendor packages Clear understanding of cross discipline dependencies Nice to Have Experience with turbomachinery heavy scopes or packaged systems Experience taking equipment from FEED into procurement and detailed engineering Interest in AI or automation Perks Meaningful base + equity Unlimited PTO: We believe great work requires recharging. Insurance: Generous health insurance covering medical, dental, and vision. Health and Wellness Budget: We provide up to $150/mo reimbursement for health and wellness spending, such as gym memberships, fitness classes, or similar.
