Mechanical Design Engineer (Pressure Boundary Hardware & Skid Integration)

Quick Facts

• Role: Mechanical Design Engineer (Pressure Boundary Hardware & Skid Integration)

• Focus: Mechanical design for turbine power blocks—pressure boundary hardware, skid structure, piping/package integration

• Work style: Hands-on; from clean-sheet design through released drawings, vendor builds, assembly, and test

Description

You will own detailed mechanical design for next-generation turbine power blocks, translating thermodynamic and aerodynamic requirements into casings, housings, pressure-retaining hardware, and the packaging that holds the full machine together. You will carry designs from concept through released drawings, vendor builds, assembly, and test, then help scale toward production. The role spans nearly every part of the machine, with significant hands-on involvement.

Responsibilities

• Own detailed mechanical design of the machine and supporting systems, including the turbomachinery test section, pressure boundary components, skid structure, and piping

• Produce released drawings with disciplined GD&T and drafting practice

• Work with vendors to bring designs from drawing to assembled hardware

• Manage interfaces and tolerance stacks across the machine so parts fit together cleanly

• Apply DFMA so designs work for early prototypes and for future production

• Partner with analysis teammates to verify structural and thermal performance

• Assemble, build, and test the hardware you design

Requirements

• BS or higher in mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, or a related field

• Proven experience taking complex mechanical hardware from concept through released drawings, test, and validation

• Strong CAD skills (SolidWorks, NX, Onshape, Creo, or comparable) and GD&T per ASME Y14.5

• Practical knowledge of machining, fabrication, and assembly, and how design decisions affect manufacturability

• Sound judgment on how designs interact with structural, thermal, and sealing requirements

• Strong communicator eager to learn and to teach

Benefits

• Medical, dental, and vision coverage

• 401(k) plan

• Paid holidays and PTO

• Meaningful equity ownership

• Fully stocked kitchen with snacks, coffee, and lunch

• Compensation: $140,000–$200,000 + equity
