About the Role

The Junior Mechanical Engineer will help turn a running turbine core into a deployable product, including the package, structural frame, mounts, and mechanical systems. You will own shippable pieces of the machine from day one, taking them from CAD through released drawings and assisting in their construction. This role offers compressed experience, allowing you to see a machine evolve from components to a field product with your name on the drawings.

Responsibilities

Design real parts of the enclosure, baseplate, vibration isolation, and lift and transport provisions.
Take designs from CAD through released drawings.
Assist in building the designed components on the shop floor.
Source, install, and test designed components.
Contribute to designing how hundreds of units cluster, share infrastructure, and get serviced.
Ensure the turbine is deployable, repeatable, and serviceable at scale.

Requirements

A degree in mechanical engineering or equivalent hands-on background.
0 to 3 years of experience.
Strong CAD fundamentals (SolidWorks, NX, or similar).
Working grasp of GD&T, materials selection, and common fabrication methods (machining, sheet metal, welding).
Evidence of building things (internships with shipped hardware, FSAE or rocketry teams, shop-built projects).
Comfort with hand tools.
Eagerness to assemble and test designs.
Ability to ask questions early and work with urgency and care.
