During this video interview, David discusses:
What is Bevi and what is its mission in Boston?
Bevi is a Boston-based technology company that designs and manufactures smart water coolers. These advanced beverage machines filter, carbonate, and flavor water on demand. The core mission of the company is to promote environmental sustainability by drastically reducing the consumption of single-use plastic bottles and cans.
How does hardware engineering function at Bevi?
The hardware engineering team at Bevi works on a complex, multi-disciplinary system that functions similarly to a stationary robot. The product integrates several engineering disciplines, including fluid dynamics, electronics, pressurized systems, low-level firmware, and high-level software. This requires engineers to manage interactions across the entire physical and digital product stack.
What engineering tools and tech stack does Bevi use?
The hardware engineering department relies on industry-standard engineering software for physical product development:
- Mechanical Engineering: The team uses SolidWorks for mechanical design, modeling, and simulation.
- Electrical Engineering: The team uses Altium Designer for printed circuit board layout and schematic design.
What is the Bevi engineering hiring and interview process?
The company places a heavy emphasis on cultural fit alongside technical capability during its hiring process. The recruiting pipeline consists of several distinct phases:
- Application Review: The hiring team evaluates resumes for technical and cultural alignment.
- Initial Discussion: A screening call to assess high-level technical skills and cultural alignment.
- Team Interview: Candidates are invited to meet the engineering team.
- Technical Presentation: Candidates present a past engineering challenge they have personally solved, followed by a collaborative Q&A session and deeper technical evaluation.
Why should Boston tech job seekers join the Bevi team?
The company offers a unique environment for hardware engineers in the Boston area. It combines a mission-driven focus on environmental sustainability with a highly collaborative, supportive, and hard-working culture. Engineers get to work on tangible physical products that have a direct, positive impact on reducing global plastic waste.
