Mechanical Design Engineer III, High-Speed Rotating Systems

We are seeking a Mechanical D esign Engineer to join our team . The core challenge is achieving rotational performance at a scale an d spee d that has not been d emonstrate d befor e.

This is a han d s-on d etaile d d esign role built for someone who thrives in rapi d d evelopment cycles. You will d esign, buil d , test, learn, an d re d esign - repeat. Success is measure d by har d ware on the test stan d an d d ata in han d , not by d ocuments alone.

- Own d etaile d mechanical d esign of a high-spee d rotor assembly inclu d ing structural members, retention features, balance provisions, an d thermal management.

- Un d erstan d thermal an d structural loa d s on the rotor; translate those into d esign requirements an d geometry constraints

- Author d rawings, G D &T, assembly proce d ures, an d acceptance criteria with sufficient rigor to buil d an d test har d ware quickly

- D efine an d execute component- an d system-level test plans; be present for test operations, tear d owns, an d inspection

- D rive rapi d d esign-buil d -test cycles - i d entify failure mo d es early, propose tra d es, an d execute changes fast

- Coor d inate with manufacturing an d supply chain to pro d uce har d ware on aggressive sche d ules an d rates without sacrificing structural or thermal integrity

- Participate in failure investigations an d contribute to root cause analysis an d corrective action

- 3+ years of experience in mechanical d esign of rotating machinery

- D emonstrate d un d erstan d ing of rotor structural mechanics, inclu d ing centrifugal loa d ing, retention d esign, an d fit/preloa d strategies for components with thermal sensitivity

- Proficiency with 3 D CA D ( CREO, NX, CATIA, Soli d Works, or equivalent) an d d rawing/G D &T per ASME Y14.5

- Experience authoring an d executing har d ware test plans an d participating han d s-on in test operations

- Experience with d esign for manufacturing an d d esign to cost.

- Comfortable with fast iteration: d esigning to 80%, buil d ing har d ware, learning from d ata, an d rapi d ly incorporating fin d ings

- Must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resi d ent, or lawfully a d mitte d into the U.S. as a refugee or grante d asylum

- Experience d esigning integrate d cooling features within rotating assemblies - internal flow passages, thermal interfaces, or con d uction paths un d er rotation

- Familiarity with high an d low-cycle fatigue an d fracture mechanics for rotating components operating at high peripheral velocities

- Experience with composite or a d vance d alloy materials in high-stress rotating environments

- Backgroun d in rapi d har d ware d evelopment programs with short d esign-buil d -test cycles an d frequent d esign up d ates

- Rotor d ynamics experience - critical spee d analysis, unbalance response, bearing loa d estimation
