Act autonomously as the primary owner of SPARC and ARC current feeder (FEED) hardware, ensuring designs are completed, validated, procured, built, and installed correctly and on time
Produce new and iterate on existing design concepts, using a deep understanding of physics, structural mechanics, and analysis techniques for both metallics and composites
Liaise with partner teams such as R&D, analysis, manufacturing, and procurement to drive completion of program milestones in a timely fashion
Diagnose issues on the production and assembly line and provide path forward based on known understanding of hardware
Prepare reports, presentations, and other documentation to serve as design documentation and validation of final SPARC and ARC FEED systems
Requirements
A minimum of 8 years of engineering design and analysis experience is required, including at least 3 years providing engineering support to production hardware in the form of resolving technical issues and implementing design for manufacturing changes
Excellent fundamental knowledge of mechanical systems such as static structures and heat transfer
Relevant hands-on experience in the form of parts designed for high loads and extreme environments
Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, physics, or another relevant field
