We are looking to hire a part-time mechanical engineer to pursue asymmetric-upside designs. We have numerous engineering projects that have the potential to dramatically add value to Voltic, and thus shipping as a whole. However, the current team doesn’t have the bandwidth to pursue all of them at a high fidelity level. You would own one of these projects. These are ambitious projects that are extremely high-upside. We have done the initial work proving they are physically and economically possible. However, this is novel engineering. You would be starting with something at (roughly) TRL 3. The goal would be to progress it to (roughly) TRL 6. This will mostly consist of refining designs and building initial prototypes.
Job Responsibility
Lead the design, analysis and prototyping of asymmetric upside engineering projects
Conduct analyses of such systems to ensure survivability in the maritime environment
Create and maintain technical drawings to be shared with colleagues and manufacturers
Develop and manage Bills of Material (BOMs) for costing and system build-out
Physically assemble prototypes in Boston to prove viability of designs
Requirements
Ability to take design from concept to prototype to mass-production
Willingness to move quickly and build things in the real world
Experience with Design for Manufacturing/Assembly principles and manufacturing processes (sheet metal, welding, machining, 3D printing, etc.)
Proficiency in a CAD software such as SolidWorks or Fusion 360
Proficiency in a FEA software package such as Abaqus or Ansys
Comfortable working in an early-stage startup environment with evolving requirements and limited precedent
