From Mainspring Energy's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
Job Overview: The Rings team owns one of the hardest technical problems in the Linear Generator: a piston and ring system that seals without liquid lubricant. Getting this right is foundational to the product’s low emissions and maintenance business model. The design space is demanding, with complex sealing geometry, demanding thermal and pressure conditions, and material performance and system behavior that all need to be considered simultaneously.
Progressing the ring service interval is one of the most important development programs at Mainspring. As a Staff Mechanical Engineer on this team, you will take ownership of a significant piece of that challenge.
Responsibilities: Lead ring and piston development projects, including setting requirements and scope, developing novel designs, reviewing colleagues' designs and analyses in detail, and building production introduction plans
A proactive and collaborative work style suited for a dynamic R&D environment where priorities can evolve as you learn, including comfort with problems that cross team boundaries and engineering disciplines
Bonus Qualifications: Excellent understanding of thermodynamics, experience interacting with a complex thermodynamic system. Power generation, energy storage, and aerospace (especially turbomachinery or propulsion) are all extremely relevant
Experience designing for high-cycle fatigue and high-pressure, high-temperature environments. Experience with super alloys is a plus
Fluency in Python programming for data analysis, and experience developing and validating simplified models of systems and subsystems to inform failure analysis and design
