About the Role

Are you ready to push boundaries and create impact? We are looking for innovative, analytical thinkers who want to apply advanced technology to complex engineering problems.

You're an ideal candidate if you:

• Thrive in a fast moving environment with the freedom to experiment, adopt new tools, and help shape technical choices as the product evolves.
• Are highly motivated and committed to excellence.
• Bring an entrepreneurial mindset and a strong desire to learn.
• Are a builder and problem solver who takes ownership, adapts quickly, and makes an impact.
• Enjoy being part of an energetic team that knows how to celebrate success.

You will own the outcome of diagnostics on Turbomechanica. Every alert the platform raises, and every fault it misses, is yours. As Manager of the Diagnostics Center of Excellence in Houston, you are accountable for our false positive and false negative rates across customer fleets.

This is a highly technical and hands-on manager role for a strong rotating equipment engineer. You will lead the diagnostics team and still dig into the hardest cases yourself. You will also lead customer alert reviews, write technical content, and support presales.

It suits a self-driven engineer who moves fast, wants to build something new, and enjoys wearing several hats at a growing startup.

• A solid grasp of equipment performance, vibration, and how machines are controlled in the field.
• A track record of troubleshooting and root cause investigations, and familiarity with causal analysis.
• Significant exposure to predictive analytics or condition monitoring on plant data.
• Working knowledge of Python, enough to read and reason about engineering and physics code.
• Hands-on use of AI tools such as Claude to automate work or build small applications.
• Experience leading or mentoring engineers, and the confidence to present findings to senior customer engineers and managers.
