Job summary

Rivan Industries is seeking a Senior Mechanical Engineer to own a sub-system and drive high-temperature DAC hardware design, modelling and manufacturability.

You will design, simulate and validate across thermal systems, using SolidWorks and thermal tools, while coordinating with fabrication teams and suppliers. Based at our Bermondsey HQ, relocation support, private health insurance and share options are offered.

Qualifications

• 5+ years professional mechanical engineering experience.
• Bachelor’s or Master’s in mechanical/aero or related field.
• System design experience including CAD (SolidWorks), including top-down/layout-driven assemblies, detailed drawings and design for manufacture/assembly.
• Strong thermal simulation capability using ANSYS, COMSOL or equivalent.
• Demonstrated experience validating simulation models against physical test or operational data.
• Able to translate physical problems into simplified models and judiciously use hand calcs or FEA/CFD.
• Strong mechanical design capability in SolidWorks; translate conclusions into hardware.
• Experience defining and running long-duration or accelerated test campaigns.
• Strong statistical analysis capability.
• Comfortable as a shared technical resource across multiple workstreams.

Responsibilities

• Own mechanical design from concept through detailed design, manufacture, assembly and commissioning.
• Develop in-house thermal models in bespoke high-temperature equipment.
• Validate simulation results against experimental and operational data to drive design decisions.
• Translate physical problems into analytical or numerical models using hand calcs and FEA/CFD where necessary.
• Design and maintain assemblies in SolidWorks using robust top-down/layout-driven design practices.
• Design test rigs and experiments to validate assumptions, models and failure mechanisms rapidly.
• Support other DAC workstreams, prioritising modelling/design requests and setting realistic turnaround based on engineering value and available capacity.
• Work directly with our internal fabrication team and external suppliers to manufacture and iterate hardware.
