Somerville, United States Mesodyne Full time

Mesodyne is a startup company revolutionizing power generation with its innovative LightCell technology--using thermophotovoltaics to provide efficient, silent, reliable, long-endurance power from any fuel. By bridging the gap between batteries and internal combustion engines, Mesodyne's LightCell technology provides more than a 10x improvement in endurance for unmanned vehicles, wearables, and various other equipment. At Mesodyne, we are committed to bringing groundbreaking products to the industrial and defense sectors, with multiple existing contracts and numerous upcoming business opportunities.


We are seeking a highly motivated Mechanical Engineer to join our expanding team. In this role, you will play a pivotal part in transitioning the LightCell technology to its first commercial product and beyond.


Responsibilities

  • Own the design, fabrication, integration, testing, and optimization of components and subsystems of the LightCell: heat exchangers, vacuum packages, cooling systems, fuel injectors, fuel/air mixers, combustors, etc.
  • Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to build prototypes for deployment in government and commercial pilot projects.
  • Transitioning from prototype to a scalable, manufacturable design that meets environmental and other requirements.


Qualifications

  • BS or MS/MEng in mechanical engineering, or other engineering field with strong mechanical engineering skills, is required.
  • Experience creating complex mechanical systems is required: ideation, CAD, design for manufacturing, integration, testing, etc. Prior industry experience is desired but not required: exceptional extracurricular project, personal projects, and undergraduate research projects will meet this requirement.
  • Demonstrated ability to build physical prototypes is required. Strong hands-on skills working with intricate mechanical assemblies are required. Prior mill and lathe experience is highly desired.
  • An understanding of introductory-level heat transfer (especially radiation) and fluids is required, ideally both a theoretical and intuitive understanding.
  • Eagerness to learn new skills on the job is required: vacuum technology, combustion engineering, optical and optomechanical systems, high temperature materials, welding/brazing technology, and other fields relevant to the LightCell.
