Job description

LocationHanover, New Hampshire Job Responsibilities

We are looking for exceptional engineers with a high interest in design and the passion, creativity, and skills to support a broad range of R&D in a multi-disciplinary environment. Mechanical Design Engineers provide the creative design talents and practical know-how needed to bring mechanical prototypes and high-performance products to life. Projects begin with concept development and proceed through analysis, mechanical design, fabrication, and testing leading to development of prototypes, commercial products, and deployed systems. As a Mechanical Design Engineer, the focus will be on electro-mechanical and thermal-fluid systems.

Key Elements Of The Position

• Variety of Projects. Work on several "clean-sheet" R&D projects at a time. Example current/past projects: spacecraft cryogenic systems, compact combustors, vacuum pumps for Mars rovers, compact heat exchangers, aerosol devices for administering pharmaceuticals, liquid nitrogen cooling systems for cutting tools, precision scroll pumps, and turbines with shaft speeds greater than 500,000 rpm.
• Challenging and Interesting Work. Use statics, dynamics, fluid flow, heat transfer, materials, and mechanical design to develop fabrication processes and design, build, and test experimental hardware, working prototypes, and specialized products.
• Talented and Creative Colleagues. Team with other creative Engineers and highly capable support staff (Designers/Drafters, Mechanical and Electrical Technicians, Precision Machinists). Project teams are small and highly interdisciplinary.
• New England College Town. Our location offers exceptional opportunities for the outdoor enthusiast, excellence in schools and medical centers, and proximity to Dartmouth College. Additionally, NH has no State sales or income tax!

Professional Requirements

The ideal candidate will bring 5+ years of mechanical engineering design experience in industry, excellent academic credentials (BSME or MSME), the ability to design for a wide range of fabrication processes, capabilities in FEM and CAD, and excellent attention to detail, accuracy, and communication. P.E. licensure is a plus but not required. Candidates with knowledge and background in materials and structural engineering with strong analysis skills are preferred.

Creare offers a competitive compensation package, including but not limited to a substantial annual staff bonus, industry-leading 401(k) contributions and plan options, and a range of medical plan offerings. Starting salary range of $90,000 - $140,000 per year, based on level of education completed, and years of relevant experience.
