Mechanical Design Engineer

Mechanical Design Engineer – Pioneering Sustainable Technology Startup

About Us: Join a dynamic early-stage startup revolutionizing the production of a widely used chemical through sustainable technology. We’re at an exciting growth phase, moving from bench scale to commercial demonstration scale. This is your chance to be part of a mission-driven company shaping the future of industrial sustainability.

The Role: We’re looking for a talented and innovative Mechanical Design Engineer to lead the design and specification of custom equipment for the next stage of our scale-up. You’ll play a pivotal role in developing cutting-edge technology for a skid-mounted process, working with everything from pressure vessels and heat exchangers to gas handling systems and advanced control mechanisms. Using OnShape (similar to CAD), you will create detailed, high-precision designs and collaborate with top-tier vendors to bring custom equipment to life.

In this role, you’ll be part of a passionate engineering team dedicated to bringing sustainable solutions to the market. You'll work closely with other engineers to ensure seamless design integration and successful project execution.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design, specify, and oversee the development of critical equipment such as pressure vessels, heat exchangers, gas handling systems, tubing, and controls.
• Utilize OnShape to create and refine computerized designs for custom equipment.
• Collaborate with vendors to develop high-quality, specialized equipment tailored to project needs.
• Work in tandem with cross-functional teams of engineers to achieve scale-up and project goals.
• Contribute to the evolution of a skid-mounted process technology that will transform industries with sustainable production methods.

Requirements

What We’re Looking For:

• B.S. in Mechanical or Chemical Engineering (an advanced degree is a strong plus).
• Hands-on experience with pressurized gas processes (chemical manufacturing, oil & gas, or similar industries).
• Proven experience in fast-paced environments, startup experience preferred.
• Bonus points for expertise in PLC controls (particularly in flow, pressure control, and loop-tuning).

Benefits

Why Join Us?

• Innovate for the future: Be at the forefront of sustainable technology that has the potential to make a significant impact across industries.
• Shape the future of the company: As an early-stage hire, your contributions will directly influence our success and growth.
• Collaborative team environment: Work alongside a passionate, driven team of engineers and professionals committed to solving big challenges.
• Endless learning and growth opportunities: Take on new challenges as we scale and grow—your career will grow with us.
