SF Sauna -- SF Bay Area Electrical / Power Systems Engineer - Build a battery-integrated sauna heater Paid contract role, $80 - 150/hr, 15–25 hr initial scope This is a multi-kW DC system problem (battery pack, resistive heater, contactor, safety logic). The constraint is reaching sauna temps without relying on a 240V wall connection. We currently generate ~$5k MRR renting saunas in the SF Bay (sfsaunarental.com). We've validated pain-point and demand. If there’s mutual interest and the prototype goes well, this could extend into deeper collaboration or a more dedicated role. To apply, email zach (at) sf-sauna (dot) com and include: A short description of the EE project you're most proud of building from scratch A link (GitHub, project photos, writeup, resume, etc) Visit sf-sauna.com for more info about the problem space.
