Job description

Overview

Sedron Technologies is hiring a talented Senior Mechanical Engineer – Structural Focus to work remotely within the United States.

Founded in 2014 and headquartered in the Pacific Northwest, Sedron Technologies designs, manufactures, installs, and operates advanced water and waste upcycling technologies. With a focus on transforming the paradigm from waste processing to resource recovery, Sedron Technologies works with municipal, agricultural, and industrial customers to process their "waste" into climate-smart commodities through environmentally and financially sustainable methods.

The Senior Mechanical Engineer – Structural Focus provides advanced engineering expertise to ensure the design, reliability, and long-term integrity of welded structures and mechanical systems across Sedron’s facilities and projects. This role blends mechanical and structural engineering fundamentals with deep knowledge of welding design, fabrication, and inspection practices to support capital projects, asset integrity programs, and operational troubleshooting.

Approximately half of this role’s time will be spent acting as a subject matter expert (SME) — assisting engineers across disciplines with complex structural reviews, design, and advanced analysis. The remaining half will involve owning complex projects from concept through completion — leading the design that meet performance, safety, and cost objectives.

Because we design, build, commission, and operate our technologies, we are looking for individuals who can meet the following essential functions of the position:

Responsibilities

• Lead and review the design, analysis, and evaluation of welded structures and mechanical systems
• Apply Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and other modeling techniques to evaluate design performance under static, thermal, and dynamic loads
• Serve as a structural analysis subject matter expert and technical advisor to engineering teams
• Assess degradation mechanisms such as corrosion, fatigue, creep, or cracking to prevent catastrophic failures
• Perform advanced calculations and structural analyses to support new designs, retrofits, or modifications
• Ensure designs comply with relevant codes, standards, and internal specifications (e.g., ASME, API, AWS)
• Assess the condition and performance of existing mechanical/structural assets through inspections, analysis, and data review
• Develop and implement strategies to address degradation, ensure continued fitness-for-service, and extend asset life
• Support the development of structural repair/retrofit recommendations
• Lead technical reviews and risk assessments for structural modifications or new installations
• Support cross-functional teams by clearly communicating engineering concepts to non-technical stakeholders
• Communicate and collaborate effectively across multidisciplinary teams of technicians, engineers, and operators
• Demonstrate initiative and problem-solving drive, bringing energy and excitement to technically challenging work
• Maintain reliable attendance, arriving on time and ready to contribute
• Take ownership of additional duties as needed to support Company goals
• Perform other related duties as assigned

This position has multiple levels of competency to be determined by performance, certifications, and supervisor discretion.

Benefits

• Multiple medical, dental, and vision insurance options to keep you feeling your best
• 401(k) with employer matching
• Generous paid time off and paid holidays (plus 2 floating holidays to use your way)
• Disability, Life, and AD&D Insurance
• FSA and HSA options with employer contributions
• Tuition reimbursement — we invest in your growth
• Casual work attire — no suits required (unless that’s your thing)
• Remote flexibility

Education/Experience

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering (or closely related field).
• 7+ years of relevant mechanical/structural engineering experience including experience with welded structures
• Proven experience designing and evaluating structural components in an industrial, manufacturing, or energy environment
• Proficiency with structural analysis software (e.g., STAAD, RISA, SAP2000, or similar) and mechanical design tools
• Strong understanding of relevant codes and standards (ASME, AISC, API, ASCE)
• Excellent communication, documentation, and problem-solving skills
• Minimum requirement for all positions is a high school diploma or GED
• Must have effective verbal, reading, and written communication skills in the English language

Additional Information

• Compensation for this role is between $120,000 and $175,000 annually
• This role may qualify for a discretionary bonus, recognizing outstanding contributions to team and company success
• This role requires 10-20% travel to support Sedron facilities
• In compliance with state and local pay transparency laws, the expected compensation for this role is shared above. The range provided is Sedron’s estimate of the base compensation for this role and the final offer will be based on job-related and non-discriminatory factors such as experience, skills, and geographic location. Compensation may be adjusted within this range to reflect regional cost-of-living differences in states where Sedron is hiring.

Must be a US Citizen or legal permanent resident for this position. We are unable to sponsor any employment visas.

We are committed to maintaining a drug and alcohol-free work environment, and our employees are expected to comply with all state and federal laws. Due to the nature of the work performed, this role is considered safety sensitive and as such all applicants will be subject to a pre-employment drug test, and background check after receiving a conditional offer of employment.

Not sure you meet all the qualifications? We encourage you to still apply! We’ll review your application and may have training opportunities or other positions available.
