Sr. Manufacturing Engineer

Job Description

SMTI Sr. Manufacturing Engineer

Stone Mountain Technologies, Inc (SMTI), located in Piney Flats, Tennessee, is a developer and manufacturer of very high-efficiency space and water heating equipment for residential and commercial applications. SMTIs products use 30-50% less natural gas or propane to heat a home or building, immediately saving the owner these same amounts in their heating costs and carbon footprint; all while retaining the same level of delivered comfort expected from traditional heating technologies. This technology paves the way for the most rapid, economic, and practical decarbonization of a very challenging and large energy load. Market research has demonstrated strong likely acceptance by contractors and homeowners.

SMTI is positioned to take its technology to market by either offering it directly under its own brand (Anesi Gas Heat Pumps www.AnesiComfort.com ), initially in North America. SMTIs products use 30-50% less natural gas to heat a home or building, immediately saving the owner these same amounts in their heating costs and carbon footprint; all while retaining the same level of delivered comfort expected from traditional heating technologies. This technology also paves the way for the most rapid, economic, and practical decarbonization of a very challenging and large energy load. Market research has demonstrated strong likely acceptance by contractors and homeowners.
