At Terraform Industries we believe in a future where energy is universally cheap, clean, and abundant. We’re developing the Terraformer, a scalable machine to make cheap synthetic carbon-neutral natural gas. A Terraformer will mine the sky, to quench the flow of carbon from the crust into the atmosphere. Instead of extracting carbon from deep underground, Terraform’s technology enables humans anywhere to create cost-effective industrial-scale quantities of hydrocarbons directly from solar energy and air. 

Your mission will be to design and deliver low-cost, minimal complexity, robust mechanical systems to synthesize fuel from water, sunlight, and air.

You will be the Mechanical Engineer within the technical team reporting to the subsystem lead.

• Design mechanical, fluid, and thermal systems
• Thermal, structural, and tolerance analysis for electrical, mechanical, and fluid systems using hand calculations
• Mechanical design, 3D modeling, and creation of production drawings
• Own hardware delivery timeline and success through inception to integration
• Lead and participate in internal design reviews
• Source required components for prototype designs
• Participate in recruitment efforts for their team, and actively contribute to team career development

• Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering or aerospace engineering (or equivalent)
• 2 years of professional experience in mechanical design and analysis

• Familiarity with ASME B31
• Experience sizing heat exchangers, condensers, dryers, compressors, piping, and valves for low and high pressure/temperature applications
• Firm understanding of GD&T per ANSI Y14.5
• Experience with CAD software packages such as SolidWorks and OnShape
• Experience interpreting and generating Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs)
• Knowledge of standard installation and fabrication methods of fluid systems (tube stock, fittings, connections, fasteners, welding, etc.)
• Ability to work in fast-paced, demanding iterative design and manufacturing environments
