Mechanical Engineer

JOB DESCRIPTION: (1-2 month assignment) This individual will be responsible for proving out technical feasibility for upcoming roadmap projects during an early-stage window, ahead of firm product definition.

This work directly shapes product definition by identifying what's functionally possible and giving the cross-functional team options for how to achieve the desired outcome. This role requires a high degree of independence supported by daily check-ins with project management.

Required skills include:

• POC Development – Harvesting components from existing products and adding or modifying as necessary to create a functional proof of concept. Strong hands-on skills and creative thinking on how to move forward quickly are critical to success.

• System Level Thinking – Consider how all the parts interact with each other, look for unresolved issues, and chase them down.

• Test Design and Execution – Determine what we need to know and how best to learn it, then execute the plan. Familiarity with thermocouples, current clamps, and electro-mechanical systems required.

• Thermal Fundamentals – Strong grasp of heat transfer principles. These products are thermally driven, and this understanding is critical to identifying feasible paths forward quickly.

• Data Analysis – Digest and compile data to understand how a system is working and determine next steps.

• Reporting – Generate clear written and verbal reports on progress.

• Independence – Comfortable operating with minimal daily oversight and navigating ambiguity without a fully defined spec.

EXPERIENCE FOR IDEAL CANDIDATE:

- Construction & Building of metal products

- Familiar with Heat Transfer

- Excellent communication skills, verbal and written
