Responsibilities

Mainspring is seeking Mechanical Design Engineers at the Senior or Staff Engineer levels with a focus on designing structures to withstand high forces while maintaining or improving functionality and system level performance. In this role, you will design and develop components and subsystems with challenging technical requirements from initial concept through successful manufacturing launch. You will develop new concepts and manage existing concepts through development, deployment, and manufacturing. At staff level, you will lead projects with potential for direct reports. Mainspring is a great place for engineers with a variety of areas of deep expertise, who like to solve challenging cross-functional problems with a mix of computational analysis, hands-on engineering and team effort. Core responsibilities will include the following.
  • Lead and participate in brainstorming activities to develop novel ways to improve all aspects of the Linear Generator.
  • Develop and optimize key mechanical subsystems of the Linear Generator to drive down cost, improve performance, and deliver high reliability.
  • Work with reliability and test teams to validate systems and components with fast cycles of learning for deployment into the next generation of Linear Generators
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with manufacturing engineering, NPI, and external suppliers to rapidly deploy new designs into production.
Qualifications
  • Degree in Mechanical Engineering or a similar engineering field from an accredited institution. Experience and degree will determine level, but minimum requirements are
    • Senior Level: BS + 6 years or MS + 4 years.
    • Staff Level: BS + 10 years or MS + 7 years.
  • Near expert level understanding of sheet metal and stamping/forming operations. Can talk in detail about past experiences during the interview process.
  • Demonstrable experience optimizing system level designs given competing technical and functional requirements. Experience solving problems creatively when optimizing packaging within a system with a track record for delivering cost-effective design solutions into manufacturing.
  • Solid understanding of metal castings, plastic manufacturing methods, welding/fabrication, hardware component selection, and finishing processes with the ability to identify and resolve design for manufacturability issues.
  • Demonstrated attention to detail with the ability to generate and review design documentation, bill of materials, work instructions and test reports.
  • Fluent in SolidWorks or comparable CAD package. Experience with using PDM or a similar CAD version control system is preferred.
  • Technical proficiency with datum selection and tolerance stackup analysis.
  • Self-starter with a proven ability to deliver functional product designs in a rapid development environment. Experience with a full design lifecycle from concept through manufacturing support is preferred
  • Interest in developing creative and cost effective solutions to enable the deployment of zero carbon energy technology at large scale.

The Bay Area salary for this role is $130k-198k base + pre-IPO stock options + benefits. This position is on-site in Menlo Park, CA. The salary will be adjusted based on the experience of the employee.
