About Coevo Energy

Coevo Energy is an emerging energy technology company developing compact Micro-Wind and remote power systems for industrial, infrastructure, and off-grid applications.

Our systems are being developed to provide dependable distributed power for battery-backed equipment operating in remote and difficult-to-power environments across industries including oil & gas, utilities, telecom, transportation, rail, agriculture, and industrial infrastructure.

Coevo has already developed advanced working relationships with experienced external engineering firms, technical specialists, manufacturers, and development partners who are performing much of the detailed engineering and product-development work.

As Coevo advances through engineering validation, prototyping, testing, certification, manufacturing preparation, and commercialization, we are seeking an experienced (Fractional) Chief Technology Officer to provide senior technical leadership and coordination across those efforts.

The Role

The Fractional CTO will serve as Coevo's senior internal technical authority and help guide the company's engineering and product-development strategy.

This is not a full-time design-engineering position.

Coevo already works with outside engineering teams capable of handling much of the detailed CAD, analysis, modeling, drafting, and specialized engineering required to develop the product. The CTO's role is to ensure that work is properly directed, technically sound, coordinated across teams, and aligned with Coevo's broader product and commercialization objectives.

We are looking for someone who can see the entire technical picture, make high-level engineering decisions, challenge assumptions, resolve conflicting recommendations, and ensure individual workstreams ultimately converge into a reliable and manufacturable commercial product.

The immediate priority will be supporting development of Coevo's Micro-Wind platform through prototype development, validation, testing, certification, design-for-manufacturing, and production planning.

Key Responsibilities

• Serve as Coevo's senior technical decision-maker and internal engineering authority
• Coordinate technical priorities across external engineering firms, contractors, manufacturers, suppliers, and testing partners
• Review major designs, specifications, calculations, test results, and technical recommendations
• Provide direction and decision-making without unnecessarily duplicating work already being performed by specialized engineering teams
• Ensure mechanical, electrical, controls, testing, manufacturing, and certification workstreams remain technically aligned
• Establish technical milestones, requirements, development priorities, and decision points
• Identify engineering risks, missing work, conflicting assumptions, and development bottlenecks
• Guide prototype development, testing, troubleshooting, and design iteration
• Help define wind-tunnel, field-testing, reliability, and performance-validation strategies
• Guide certification and regulatory planning, including applicable UL, electrical, environmental, and international requirements
• Support Design for Manufacturing, cost reduction, reliability, serviceability, and production-readiness decisions
• Participate in technical discussions with suppliers, manufacturing partners, customers, investors, and strategic partners when appropriate
• Support intellectual-property and technology strategy
• Develop Coevo's longer-term engineering roadmap
• Recommend when specific engineering capabilities should be brought in-house as the company grows
• Help define future engineering hiring priorities, team structure, technical resources, and infrastructure

Ideal Candidate

We are looking for an experienced engineering leader with a broad understanding of complex physical-product development.

Relevant experience may include:

• Mechanical, electrical, electromechanical, energy, aerospace, or related engineering
• Renewable energy, wind systems, rotating machinery, generators, power electronics, or industrial equipment
• Development and commercialization of physical products
• Managing multidisciplinary engineering programs
• Directing outside engineering firms and technical consultants
• Reviewing technical work produced by specialized engineering teams
• Prototype development and product validation
• Design for Manufacturing
• Testing, reliability, and failure analysis
• Manufacturing and supplier management
• Product certification and regulatory requirements
• Technical roadmap development and engineering organizational planning

Previous CTO experience is valuable but not required.

We are equally interested in experienced Chief Engineers, VPs of Engineering, Engineering Directors, Principal Engineers, technical consultants, and former technology executives who are interested in providing senior technical leadership on a fractional basis.

Who We're Looking For

Coevo does not need another engineering contractor focused on one narrow portion of the product.

We need someone who can coordinate the entire technical effort on behalf of the company.

The successful candidate should be able to step into discussions involving mechanical design, electrical systems, generators, testing, manufacturing, certification, suppliers, and product requirements and determine whether the pieces collectively make sense.

This role is better suited to an experienced technical leader who enjoys reviewing, coordinating, directing, and making decisions than someone looking to personally spend the majority of their time producing detailed CAD or component-level engineering work.

The goal is to ensure Coevo's external engineering resources are working toward one coherent technical and commercial roadmap.

Engagement & Compensation

This role is initially expected to be structured as a part-time or fractional executive engagement, with workload increasing or evolving as product development and company needs grow.

Compensation may include:

• Equity participation
• Consulting, retainer, or project-based compensation as appropriate
• Performance or milestone-based incentives
• Opportunity for an expanded executive role as the company grows and completes future financing

The final structure will depend on experience, availability, and the scope of involvement agreed upon with the company.
