Mechanical Engineer (New Grad)

General Matter•Los Angeles, CA

49d•$80,000 - $95,000

About The Position

As a General Matter Mechanical Engineer, you will design, build, test, and own the mechanisms and mechanical structures enabling enrichment technology. You will work closely with cross-functional teams, including electrical engineers, software engineers, chemical engineers, manufacturing engineers, nuclear engineers, materials scientists and physicists. If you seek high-impact and are excited by fast-paced, intense, Skunkworks-style projects, we encourage you to reach out to join our team.

Requirements

Evidence of exceptional ability (prior projects, portfolio of work, completed products, etc).
Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field.
1+ years of mechanical engineering experience via project team, research, internship, and/or professional experience.
Proficient in a 3D CAD package (such as Solidworks, CATIA, NX, etc.) and the ability to make manufacturing drawings using GD&T.
Proficiency in finite element analysis (FEA).

Nice To Haves

Strong understanding of engineering fundamentals.
Ability to perform trade studies and make clear recommendations using first principles and engineering fundamentals even with partial information.
Experience in a fast-paced engineering environment or a highly technical role requiring a resourceful, entrepreneurial approach to complete tasks within tight timeframes or budget constraints.

Responsibilities

Develop mechanisms and mechanical structures for enrichment and own them through the entire product lifecycle including requirements definition, design, development, qualification, and release to production.
Support optimization of designs for cost, performance, and manufacturability.
Functionally test your hardware through thermal, vibe, shock, durability, etc.
Perform root-cause analysis on test failures and develop hardware mitigations.
Participate in design review and provide feedback to ensure design objectives are met.
Work closely with electrical, software, manufacturing, and nuclear engineers to ensure designs are effectively integrated with overall system requirements.
