Mechanical Engineer

Eden Technologies • Lockhart, TX

53d • $130,000 - $170,000

About The Position

We are seeking a skilled Mechanical Engineer to lead structural and dynamic analysis for our ROC system. This role involves developing and running mechanical simulations, designing high-speed rotating components, and supporting prototype builds and pilot deployments. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams, define test protocols, and maintain design documentation. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in rotordynamics, vibration analysis, and fatigue design, with experience in pressure vessel design and a comfort level working in a startup environment.

Requirements

• 5+ years of hands-on experience with high-speed rotating machinery such as centrifuges, turbomachinery, pumps, compressors, or flywheels
• Strong background in rotordynamics, vibration analysis, fatigue design, and containment
• Proficiency with FEA and simulation tools (ANSYS, SolidWorks Simulation, or equivalent)
• Experience with pressure vessel design and relevant codes (ASME or equivalent)
• Comfortable working in a startup environment with hands-on prototype involvement
• BS or MS in Mechanical Engineering

Nice To Haves

• Experience in oil and gas, water treatment, or desalination applications
• Familiarity with membrane separation or filtration systems
• Experience designing for harsh or field-deployed environments

Responsibilities

• Lead structural and dynamic analysis of the ROC system, including vibration, fatigue, and containment design
• Develop and run mechanical simulations (FEA, CFD, rotordynamics) to validate design assumptions
• Analytically confirm the validity of simulation results
• Design and iterate on high-speed rotating components including shafts, housings, bearings, seals, and pressure vessels
• Support prototype builds and pilot deployments, resolving field mechanical issues
• Collaborate with electrical and software engineers on system integration and control interfaces
• Define test protocols, analyze test data, and drive design improvements based on results
• Maintain design documentation, drawings, and engineering change records
