Mechanical Engineering Technician

Join the team building a first-of-its-kind clean-energy production unit. As a Mechanical Engineering Technician, you will bridge mechanical assembly and instrumentation/controls wiring, ensuring our R&D and pilot equipment operate safely and efficiently. The pace is fast, the work is hands-on, and every improvement you make contributes directly to decarbonizing heavy industry as we build our first scale production unit.

Responsibilities

• Assemble piping, gearboxes, structural frames, and sheet-metal enclosures according to 3-D models, drawings, and P&IDs.
• Route harnesses, crimp connectors, and land 24 V480 V field devices (motors, RTDs, mass-flow controllers, pressure transmitters) into PLC marshalling panels.
• Perform continuity and insulation-resistance checks, leak tests, and functional instrument calibrations; diagnose faults using a multimeter, scope, or PLC diagnostics.
• Support engineering change-orders and quick-turn re-work on evolving prototypes; fabricate or machine simple brackets and test fixtures as needed.
• Maintain accurate build logs, red-line drawings, and update BOMs; raise issues in daily stand-ups and directly with leads and engineers as issues arise.
• Enforce LOTO, PPE, and hazardous-gas protocols; ensure work cells are clean, organized, and inspection-ready.
• Travel up to 10% for system FAT/SATs or customer-site installs.
• Other duties as assigned.

• High-school diploma or GED; technical trade certificate or military electro-mechanical training strongly preferred.
• 5+ years experience building or maintaining industrial equipment, test stands, or process skids.
• Proficiency in reading mechanical drawings and electrical schematics/wiring diagrams.
• Hands-on skill with standard shop and electrical tools (tube-benders, torque wrenches, crimpers, multimeters, insulation testers).
• Ability to lift 50 lbs; comfortable wearing PPE (steel toes, FR, respirator when required).
• Strong written and verbal communication skills; ability to thrive amid rapid changes and incomplete data.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, PowerPoint), as well as chat and teleconferencing applications (e.g., Teams, Slack).

• Experience with large-scale assembly and wire harnessing.
• Knowledge of hydrogen and natural gas systems.
