Job summary

Spinor Energy seeks a Mechanical Engineer to own the structural and thermo-mechanical design of HTS magnets. You will drive analysis, design concepts, and integration from bring-up through field deployment in a high-performance energy storage platform.

Ideal candidates have strong mechanical design fundamentals, DFx experience, and familiarity with high-field magnetics, thermal mapping, and manufacturing workflows. Equal opportunities.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in mechanical engineering, physics, aerospace engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
• Strong fundamentals in mechanical design and design-for-manufacturing across diverse processes (injection molding, CNC/lathe, sheet metal, additive, forging/casting).
• Strong fundamentals in GD&T (ASME Y14.5) with experience tolerancing complex assemblies for high-rate production.

Responsibilities

• Own structural design and analysis of the superconductor magnet assembly under extreme electromagnetic and cryogenic environments.
• Own conceptual and detailed piece-part design for the thermo-mechanical bus of the magnet.
• Own heat flow, thermal mapping, and operating temperature within the magnet, including simulations and verification during qualification and test.
• Own or manage macro-level magnetics analyses (field distribution, eddy currents, stray fields, external power losses).
• Own macro-level system design, trade space, and requirements; coordinate with stakeholders to ensure targets are met.
• Collaborate with manufacturing engineering to drive HTS magnet fabrication workflows, assembly, test, and acceptance criteria.
