Mechanical Engineer
Solcoa, Alameda, California
The role
We’re looking for a hands-on mechanical engineer to design, prototype, and scale the next generation of our rare-earth reactors. You’ll own designs from concept through commissioning, working closely with machinists and researchers to turn ideas into operating systems.
What you will do
- Architect, model, and draw reactor subsystems (thermal, vacuum, materials handling) in CAD (Fusion).
- Specify components, tolerances, and materials for high-temperature, corrosive, and vacuum environments.
- Build and iterate prototypes; run experiments; analyze data to drive design decisions.
- Author procedures, test plans, and safety/operating documentation.
- Collaborate with fabrication partners; support continuous improvement.
