• Comprehensive Benefits: Competitive compensation, stock options, and relocation assistance for top talent.
  
  

What You'll Be Doing:

• Own the mechanical design of reactor components, including vessels, flanges, welded structures, frames, and articulated mechanisms.
• Lead CAD modeling, detailed drawing creation, and documentation for complex mechanical assemblies.
• Perform stress and thermal analysis using hand calculations and FEA (ANSYS Workbench preferred).
• Contribute to structural and sealing design for high-temperature environments.
• Develop and iterate designs based on test stand performance and experimental data.
• Specify tolerances and GD&T; execute tolerance stack-up analysis.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with thermal, combustion, transfer, and controls engineers.
• Support prototype fabrication, test setup, and early-stage design validation.
• Mentor junior engineers and coordinate design reviews.
  
  

What You Bring:

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field.
• 10+ years of experience in mechanical design engineering within industrial or high-performance environments.
• Hands-on experience designing welded structures, skids, and articulated mechanisms.
• Proficiency with 3D CAD (SolidWorks preferred) and experience creating production-ready drawings.
• Strong experience with thermal-mechanical FEA (thermal, structural).
• Strong communicator and collaborator on multidisciplinary teams.
  
  

We'd be Really Excited If You Had Some of These:

• Experience with high-temperature design (400-1200°C) and materials selection for such environments
• Structural FEA background with aerospace, turbine, or similar experience
• Experience designing sealing systems, flanges, pressure vessels
• Background in hydrogen systems, containerized energy systems, or industrial equipment in harsh environments
  
  

What's in It for You:

• Competitive Salary: $120,000 - $160,000/year
• Equity: Stock options for company ownership.
• Comprehensive Benefits: Full healthcare coverage, retirement matching, and relocation support.
