COMPANY DESCRIPTION

Laundry is something everyone on the planet needs to do, yet it hasn’t evolved for nearly a century.

6.6 billion people live without modern access, forcing them to either do laundry by hand or share a few machines with hundreds of other people. Not to mention that doing laundry today is incredibly annoying, time consuming, and detrimental to the planet.

We are Paradigm Evergreen, the company evolving how humanity does laundry by reinventing traditional machines and breaking down the high barriers that alienate billions from home laundry access.

We are achieving that through our inaugural product, Eeva, which is the first to enable universal access, so anyone in the world with just a standard electrical outlet can now have a fully autonomous washer/dryer at home, regardless of space or infrastructure. Leveraging our innovative technology, we are also able to achieve ~60% reduction in water and energy consumption, having a gigantic impact on climate change.

We have already sold more than $1m in revenue and recently raised millions in seed funding to take this innovative product from early stage development, to worldwide impact.

JOB OVERVIEW

With advanced prototypes now well underway we are in a critical stage to finalise the design of our flagship product, Eeva. With our growing engineering team we are refining our design for assembly and manufacture strategy, benchmarking the consumer touchpoints and detailing the product for tooling release.

We want our solutions to be smart, robust and cost effective with a clear vision of efficient manufacturing/.

We need a candidate with ownership, creativity and an eye for finesse to finalise the development of Eeva, and lead development efforts for our roadmap.

As part of the development journey, you will also assist with the transition from R&D to production, providing solutions in the UK office with occasional trips to our contract manufacturer in Asia.

We work five days in-office and are located just a 5 minute walk from Battersea Power Station.

• A strong collection of anecdotes of how you got that product into production
• Detailed oriented CAD skills to build production ready work packages in 2D & 3D
• Solidworks CAD expertise
• Mastery of Design For Manufacture & Assembly (DFMA) and Design Failure Modes & Effect Analysis (DFMEA) methodologies (because it’s all about the detail)
• A self-starter mindset, to understand what needs doing and figure the rest out along the way
• A roll your sleeves up attitude when met with challenges
• Team spirit, respect and collaborative working
  

What would be even better:

• Experience with either laundry, air, heat, or water based products (coffee, vacuum, hairdryer, fans etc)
• Experience with pumps, valves, heaters and fan-based systems
• Experience collaborating with overseas suppliers
• Delivery of products for the North American market
• Clear and recent understanding of testing requirements
• Understanding of tolerance stacks
