About the Role
We are hiring an early-career Mechanical Engineer to help design, build, and test key components of our power plants. You will work closely with senior engineers on real hardware from day one. Our product is inherently mechanical: high-speed rotating machinery, dynamic loads, and high-power temperature management. You will learn these systems deeply. What we care about most is how you think from first principles and how fast you move from idea to tested hardware.
Responsibilities
- Translate design challenges into clear functional requirements
- Build early concept designs using order-of-magnitude estimates to set system bounds
- Apply first-principles tools: free body diagrams, energy balances, pressure/flow estimates
- Talk to vendors and the team early and often to pressure-test ideas
- Produce 3D CAD models of components to inform layouts, interfaces, and clash checks
- Define subsystem specs and the mechanical, electrical, and flow interfaces between them
- Develop higher-fidelity CAD toward as-built level under guidance from senior engineers
- Analyze designs carefully, checking mechanical stresses, vibration and fatigue, contact loads, tolerance stack-ups, thermal growth, and fluids under pressure and temperature
- Document analysis, design decisions, and reasoning clearly and concisely
- Get hardware built and tested quickly
- Hand detailed drawings to fabrication partners and follow parts through to delivery
- Develop test setups: structures, sensors, and schedules
- Test early and often
Requirements
- Hands-on hardware experience from a lab, capstone, internship, competition team, or personal project
- Ability to show an example of taking something from concept through design to a built and tested result
- Comfortable with CAD and core mechanical engineering fundamentals
- Excited to own problems, ask for help when stuck, and move fast
