About the role
- We are looking for a highly skilled Senior Mechanical Design Engineer to join our team. This role leads the design and development of high-temperature insulation systems, structural interfaces, and sealing solutions for complex thermal systems. The ideal candidate combines strong mechanical design and thermomechanical expertise with hands-on experience
- taking integrated hardware from concept through validation and production.
Responsibilities
- Lead the mechanical design and validation of components, assemblies, and systems subjected to repeated thermal cycling and operating temperatures up to 1500 °C.
- Develop high-temperature insulation systems and assemblies using metals, ceramics, refractories, and other appropriate materials.
- Design and validate mechanical interfaces, compliant mechanical features, and sealing solutions that accommodate differential thermal expansion while maintaining structural integrity and environmental isolation, in collaboration with the structural engineering team.
- Perform 1D heat- and mass-flow analyses to identify design-driving factors and inform system-level decisions.
- Conduct FEA to evaluate and validate mechanical and thermomechanical performance.
- Contribute to and lead design and process FMEA activities.
- Develop component-level test methodologies and design experiments to validate performance and reduce technical risk.
- Collaborate with manufacturing and supply chain teams to improve yields, establish process controls, and identify and resolve root causes of failures.
- Support rapid prototyping across ceramics, refractories, metals, and plastics.
- Lead and participate in design reviews, project planning, schedule estimation, and progress reporting to cross-functional teams.
Requirements
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline.
- Demonstrated design experience with high-temperature materials, thermomechanical systems, and mechanical interfaces for high-voltage systems.
- Proficiency in FEA and 1D thermal analysis.
