Job Description

Our mission is to return the atmosphere to 280 ppm CO₂.

Key Responsibilities

Design unique solutions for our next generation operations pyrolyzer: Develop mechanical and electromechanical systems for production use while considering interfacing systems, operating requirements, operator burden, and regular service and maintenance. Consider what technology needs thorough R&D to simplify and redefine our machine architecture. Learn from previous successes and failures to develop and integrate novel vessels and process steps that tie back to real business needs. Work with our testing team to validate performance before operations integration.
Conduct thorough engineering analysis: Work with process engineers to develop thermal and flow models to inform system design. Process piping and vessels are important components in our greater pyrolysis system, refine their mechanisms to deliver an industrial solution.
Troubleshoot and resolve issues: Identify and troubleshoot mechanical system malfunctions and performance gaps. Determine why a failure mode is observed and implement a corrective action to return the system to optimal performance.
Develop and execute test plans and commissioning campaigns for production hardware: Take direct ownership of your designs beyond pressing print on your drawings. Validate performance before and after machine installation.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams: Work closely with electrical engineers, software developers, and other mechanical engineers to implement mechanical systems into the larger pyrolysis package
Support on-call production support as needed, if our frontline Engineering Technician group needs help solving critical Operations problems

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, or a related field
Seasoned mechanical design experience (3-5 years)
CAD knowledge is a must, we use OnShape
Skilled in modes of heat transfer, sensor and actuator selection for robust operations, and building project requirements
Experience with DFMA and FMEA
Familiar with GD&T, familiar with basic fabrication techniques, proficiency with creating and releasing engineering drawings
Familiarity with electromechanical systems
Hands-on mechanical troubleshooting and assembly experience
A strong willingness to get your hands dirty and intimately interact with all pyrolysis system components
Documentation skills that demonstrate your thought process and design process when making improvements
Ability to communicate priorities, system progress, and work cross functionally
A desire to work alongside Electrical & Controls Engineers and fabricators to turn solutions into physical, installed hardware as quickly as possible. Use quick implementation skills to make quick and long-term fixes to the pyrolysis system in service of system improvement.
An excitement for scaling up hardware that has the potential to positively impact climate change!
Onshape modeling experience
Weldment design including process piping and vessels
Design of operations facing industrial equipment
Bulk material handling experience, think conveyors, pumps, and blowers
Experience with 24/7 operations
