for a young and dynamic startup developing electromagnetic (millimeter-wave) deep drilling technology, with the goal of making geothermal energy accessible anywhere in the world - a technology expected to dramatically change the energy market.
We are looking for a Senior / Lead Mechanical Engineer who thrives in early-stage environments and knows how to take complex systems from idea to working hardware. The role requires creativity, independence, leadership and influence - full ownership from concept and CAD through prototype and field testing.
Key Responsibilities:
Lead mechanical design of drilling systems
Develop large mechanical assemblies (meter-scale), including energy transmission, thermal management and fluid-flow systems
Perform FEA and structural analysis
Design for manufacturability (DFM) and cost efficiency
Plan and execute lab and field testing
Requirements: 5+ years of mechanical design experience, across all stages of the product development cycle
Strong proficiency in SolidWorks or similar 3D CAD software
Hands-on experience with FEA, DFM and materials selection
Proven experience designing and building complex mechanical systems
Ability to work independently, lead and influence, and move projects forward in uncertain environments
Experience with large mechanical systems (meter scale) - advantage
Experience with fluid-flow systems (hydraulics / chemical or process industry) - advantage
Experience with high-power thermal systems - advantage
Hands-on experience assembling and testing hardware - advantage
This position is open to all candidates.
