Job Description
This CFS Mechanical Engineer will report to the Head of Superconductor R&D and will be responsible for aspects of the design, build, and implementation of advanced R&D equipment and complex machinery. This equipment presents a host of challenges including large, robust, and ergonomic high-vacuum chambers; components operating under extreme conditions such as high temperatures; large temperature gradients; complicated component manipulation; large pressure differentials; tight mechanical tolerances; and long run times.
This team member will:
- Work within a multi-disciplinary and proven team of top scientists and engineers;
- Own the design of key mechanical modules and sub-systems;
- Present and participate in design reviews on all aspects of mechanical sub-system designs;
- Generate and maintain interfaces with other engineering subsystems;
- Report on and be accountable for project progress to the Head of Superconductor R&D
The ideal candidate will have most, if not all, of these requirements:
- 5+ years of relevant experience -- for example: design, construction, and operation of industrial, large-scale R&D and manufacturing equipment
- The ability to conceive novel solutions to challenging problems;
- An exceptional safety record and attention to detail;
- At least a bachelor’s degree in a relevant engineering field (e.g., mechanical);
- Expertise with 3D modeling and simulation;
- Familiarity with complex engineering systems in challenging environments;
- Familiarity in applying Semi-S8, ASME, ACI, ASTM, and other mechanical standards to design solutions
Additional experience and/or qualifications:
- Solidworks 2019 and 2020
- COMSOL, ANSYS
