Mechanical Design Engineer

We are looking for a highly skilled Mechanical Design Engineer to join our team. This role involves leading the design and development of ceramic, refractory, steel, and insulation assemblies, as well as the mechanical integration of instrumentation and cable routing into the system. The ideal candidate combines deep technical expertise with hands-on experience bringing complex mechanical designs from concept to production.

What You’ll Do (responsibilities include but are not limited to):

• Design components, assemblies, and systems — including ceramic, refractory, steel, and insulation parts — that are cycled and maintained at high temperatures up to 1500°C

• Conduct FEA and 1D thermal and fluid-flow analysis to confirm mechanical performance and correlate against test data; contribute to FMEA activities to identify and mitigate failure risks

• Drive rapid prototyping and fast build-test-learn iteration cycles to quickly validate designs and accelerate maturity

• Apply GD&T principles and tolerance stack-up analysis to critical features

• Specify and mechanically integrate high-temperature measurement devices and other sensors into the assembly — including mounting, thermal/electrical isolation, and cable routing — in collaboration with electrical and controls
