Mechanical Engineer – HTS Magnet Systems & Thermal Design

Spinor Energy Inc.; Mountain View (CA); On-site; USD 120,000 - 180,000; Full time

Job summary

Spinor Energy is building a groundbreaking superconducting energy storage system and seeks a Mechanical Engineer to own the structural and thermo-mechanical design of HTS magnets.

You will lead qualification through bring-up, validation, and field deployment, focusing on heat flow, thermal mapping, and integration with manufacturing. A strong background in mechanical design, GD&T, and multi-physics simulation is required.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in mechanical engineering, physics, aerospace engineering, or equivalent.
• Strong fundamentals in mechanical design and design-for-manufacturing across a diverse set of manufacturing processes.
• Strong fundamentals in applied GD&T (ASME Y14.5) with experience designing and tolerancing complex assemblies.

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 the spatially-dependent operating temperature within the magnet.
• Own macro-level magnetics analyses, including field distribution, eddy currents, stray fields, and external power losses.
• Own macro-level system design, trade space, and requirements; coordinate with internal stakeholders.
• Drive top-level HTS magnet fabrication workflows with manufacturing engineering.
