    Explore the Uncharted: We embrace the unknown with curiosity, using courage and discipline to transform uncertainty into opportunity.
    Role Overview
    We are seeking a Mechanical Design Engineer for our Combustion team to own the 3D design of high-temperature, high-pressure hardware from concept through fabrication. You'll collaborate closely with combustion engineers, analysts, and test engineers to develop practical, test-ready systems. Your work will leverage metal additive manufacturing, precision machining, and algorithmic design techniques to push the boundaries of modern fabrication.
    Responsibilities
    • Lead detailed 3D modeling of complex components and assemblies.
    • Apply Design for Additive Manufacturing (DfAM) principles to optimize performance, cost, and manufacturability.
    • Create complete drawing packages with GD&T, assembly documentation, and bill of materials (BOMs).
    • Translate engineering requirements into practical, buildable designs.
    • Generate work instructions and collaborate with technicians during builds and test campaigns.
    • Continuously iterate based on feedback from analysis, testing, and fabrication.
    Requirements
    • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Aerospace, or a related Engineering discipline.
    • 3+ years of experience in mechanical design of high-performance systems.
    • Proficiency in CAD software (Siemens NX preferred; others such as SolidWorks or Creo also acceptable).
    • Experience producing fully detailed drawing packages including GD&T and manufacturing specs.
    • Experience with additive manufacturing and DfAM principles.
    • Understanding of additive constraints: overhang angles, support strategy, build orientation, powder removal, etc.
    Preferred Qualifications
    • Exposure to material behavior and surface finish considerations in high-temperature AM alloys (e.g., Inconel 625/718, Hastelloy, Haynes).
    • Familiarity with FEA or fluid/thermal analysis workflows.
    • Prior experience in a fast-paced, hands-on R&D or startup environment.
    • Exposure to combustion systems, high-temperature materials, or pressure vessels.
    Compensation & Benefits
    • Pre-IPO stock options
    • Medical, dental, and vision insurance (Arbor covers 90% for employees)
    • Basic life insurance fully covered
    • Health savings account (HSA) with matching
    • Flexible savings account (FSA)
    • Unlimited PTO
    • 12+ company holidays, including Earth Day
    • 401(k)
    • Commuter benefits
    • Annual learning and development stipend
    • And more
    Base Pay: $130,000 - $150,000 USD/year. The salary is subject to the applicant's skills, qualifications, experience, and geographic location.
