Manufacturing Engineer (Rotating Assemblies)

H3X Technologies•Louisville, CO

2d•Onsite

About The Position

At H3X, we are building the most advanced electric motors in the world for sustainable aviation, marine, industrial, and defense applications. At 12 kW/kg continuous, the HPDM family of integrated motor drives is a step change in electric propulsion technology and removes one of the main barriers blocking widespread proliferation of electric and hybrid aircraft. Our motors range in size from 30 kW to 30 MW, include integrated drives, and are 3X lighter than competitors’ systems. H3X is looking to hire a Manufacturing Engineer to support the stacking & rotor production lines across all the HPDM products. The production team is rapidly deploying new processes and improvements to meet the growing demand for the HPDM products. A high degree of self-motivation and responsibility is required since this role will be given significant freedom and will be directly responsible for the production of a multitude of parts. This role will own the production process for grinding and balancing rotors.
