Job summary

Teragen Energy is seeking its first Mechanical Engineer to join a cross-functional team across R&D, testing, stack engineering, process development, and system integration.

This hands-on role designs fixtures, test stands, and prototype tooling; partners with Stack Engineering on seals and manifolds; supports outsourcing when faster or safer; and preserves CAD, drawings, build notes, and design documentation for traceability. Your work directly accelerates experimentation and manufacturability.

Qualifications

• BS or MS in mechanical engineering with 0-6 years of experience.
• Broad mechanical design fundamentals, fixturing, DFM, prototyping, and hands-on fabrication or build experience.
• Comfortable context-switching across multiple workstreams and priorities in the same week.

Responsibilities

• Design and build fixtures, test stands, processing hardware, and prototype tooling. This is a 100% hands-on role.
• Partner with Stack Engineering on component-level design of seals, manifolds, interconnects, and assembly.
• Support outsourced fabrication relationships when external fabrication is faster, safer, or more appropriate than in-house build.
• Work directly with Cell, Materials, Stack, and Test Engineering to translate constraints and data needs into working hardware.
• Maintain practical CAD, drawings, build notes, and design documentation so hardware decisions remain visible and reusable.
