Zusammenfassung

Mainspring Energy, Inc. is seeking a Staff Materials and Process Engineer to join our world-class engineering team in scaling production of the Linear Generator.

You will lead material validation and process development for graphite components and tribological systems, collaborating across design, supply chain and quality to ensure reliability and manufacturability. The role requires deep graphite knowledge, experience with volume production, and strong data analysis skills in Matlab/Python.

Qualifikationen

• MS in Materials Science/Engineering or Mechanical Engineering.
• MS + 8 years or PhD + 5 years of industry experience.
• Deep understanding of isostatic graphite structure, properties and performance, including graphite manufacturing processes.
• Fundamental understanding of properties and performance of engineering materials, and basic knowledge of structure-property relationships.
• Experience with volume production of graphite components is highly preferred.
• Knowledge of dry (solid lubrication) tribology relative to ceramic or graphite materials is highly preferred.
• Working knowledge and experience with FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis).
• Demonstrated experience with statistical data analysis and reporting (Matlab/Python, Google Sheets/Excel, Weibull++, etc.).
• Excellent communication skills, adaptable self-starter, enjoys collaboration in a fast-paced environment.

Aufgaben

• Lead independent process development and material validation of graphite components and tribological systems in the Linear Generator
• Collaborate with other members of the Materials and Engineering teams to characterize graphite properties, identify failure modes, and execute validation tests to meet reliability requirements
• Create, develop, and optimize material and process specifications related to graphite and other mechanical components
• Write specifications, process control, and quality control plans for graphite and other mechanical components
• Collaborate with other teams such as mechanical design, supply chain and quality to qualify processes and establish key process controls at manufacturing locations
• Participate in FMEA for design, process, and maintenance
• Support the Materials and Process team with failure analysis and process development projects in other areas
