  • 2+ years of CAD experience (NX preferred), drafting, and fluid schematic design experience
  • 1+ years of experience designing custom parts or assemblies for fabrication
  • 2+ years of experience with selecting and utilizing fluid system components, such as thermocouples, pressure transducers, heaters, flow meters, process valves, solenoid valves, relief valves, regulators, and filters
  • Conducting trade studies to determine technical approaches to a project
  • Data post-processing skills to interpret results and sources of error
  • Self-motivated and able to take ownership of projects
  • Positive and collaborative attitude, with an eagerness to learn
  • Innovative spirit and ability to question existing assumptions and requirements
  • An emphasis on elegance and simplicity over complexity
  • Networking and collaboration skills to work with stakeholders with different perspectives and interests
  • Willingness to occasionally travel or work required nights/weekends/overtime
Preferred Qualifications
  • Master's or Ph.D. degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field
  • Familiarity with model reduction and mesh optimization for model efficiency
  • Familiarity with electromagnetic fundamentals, including voltage, current, resistance, Ohm's Law, AC/DC, right-hand rule, solenoids, etc.
  • Familiarity with structural analysis or other multi-physics regimes
  • Ability to communicate technical topics tailored to both technical and non-technical audiences
  • Troubleshooting/problem-solving skills with great attention to detail
  • Ability to thrive in fast-paced, dynamic environments
