Mechanical Engineer Co-op

Lydian is looking for a 6-month Mechanical Engineering Co-op for Spring 2027 (January - June) to design, build, and test mechatronic equipment that helps automate catalyst loading in our proprietary fuel synthesis reactor. You will take on hands-on engineering challenges—from understanding a process and developing concepts to designing in SolidWorks, selecting components, and building and testing prototypes. Your initial projects will focus on developing tooling and machinery for catalyst loading in our pilot reactor, including automated indexing, injection, and inspection.

You will work closely with Lydian’s engineers and scientists to turn practical needs into reliable equipment that supports our sustainable fuel reactor systems.

This is an hourly, in-person position based in Boston, MA, with a minimum commitment of 6 months.
