Responsibilities

Collaborate closely with a cross-functional team of engineers and vendors to assist in the design and integration of the entire aerogel composite production line

Architect the material flow and system integration for all composite manufacturing steps

Co-develop robust, scalable solutions for handling delicate materials, specifically large-format glass and thin aerogel sheets

Utilize 3D CAD software (Fusion 360 preferred) to create detailed designs for custom fixtures, ergonomic workstations, and electromechanical systems

Work hands-on in the lab and machine shop to build, fabricate, and assemble prototypes and production systems

Lead the installation, testing, and debugging phases for the systems and subsystems you help design

Apply analytical methods, such as Design of Experiments (DOE), to optimize processes and validate the performance of new equipment

Coordinate with external vendors for component sourcing and fabrication, managing timelines and costs for delegated projects

Assist in drafting relevant technical documentation, including assembly procedures, user manuals, and maintenance guides

A demonstrated potential for leadership, with a desire to formally mentor junior engineers and an interest in growing into roles with greater influence and responsibility

Preferred

Familiarity with industrial automation, controls (PLCs), and robotics in a manufacturing environment

Hands-on experience with basic electrical wiring, pneumatics, and piping for system assembly and testing

Direct experience handling highly fragile or brittle materials (e.g., glass, ceramics, porous films, aerogels)

Familiarity with processes requiring controlled environments, such as humidity control or handling of solvent-based materials

Hands-on machine shop skills (mill, lathe, etc.) for rapid prototyping

Experience with industrial automation, PLCs, and robotics in a manufacturing setting

Knowledge of programming languages like Python for data analysis
