About The Position

We are seeking a Mechanical Engineer to join our collaborative, fast-paced team focused on the development and improvement of mechanical systems and components that help optimize utility-scale solar power plant installation. In this role, you will contribute across the product development lifecycle—supporting concept development, detailed design, prototyping, and field validation—while working closely with cross-functional partners and learning from experienced technical leads.

Responsibilities

Support the design, prototyping, and installation of new or modified mechanical systems and components that improve deployment efficiency and reduce build time.
Create and update 3D CAD models and 2D drawings; support tolerance analyses and apply GD&T on parts and assemblies.
Iterate designs for performance, cost, reliability, and manufacturability in collaboration with other engineers.
Perform and/or support design analyses and hands-on validation using sound engineering practices (bench testing, basic calculations, structured test plans).
Contribute to the product development workflow from concept through prototype builds, field testing, drawing release, and supplier coordination, under the guidance of a technical lead.
Participate in design reviews, communicate clearly about risks/tradeoffs, and incorporate feedback quickly.
Collaborate with suppliers and internal stakeholders to resolve manufacturability or quality issues and implement improvements.
