Senior/Staff Mechanical Design Engineer

H3X Technologies Inc•Louisville, CO

56d•$135,000 - $180,000

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. Mechanical design engineers are responsible for bringing new designs to life from clean sheet concept generation through early prototype testing. Mechanical Design Engineers will work with highly interdisciplinary teams to bring H3X products to life. The engineering team operates like Skunkworks - small, highly technical, and very fast. All mechanical design engineers are given significant design freedom and will be directly responsible for flight-critical parts.
