Description
MAKING THE METALS POWERING THE WORLD Solcoa is building the next generation of American metalmaking, starting with rare earths — the metals of power and motion. We've developed a new chemistry that converts rare earth oxides into high-purity metals — the materials inside every EV, fighter jet, wind turbine, and data center — cleaner, cheaper, and faster than any conventional process. Now we're scaling it to thousands of tonnes of annual production.   THE ROLE — MECHANICAL ENGINEER We’re looking for a hands-on mechanical engineer to design, prototype, and scale the next generation of our rare-earth reactors. You’ll own designs from concept through commissioning, working closely with machinists and researchers to turn ideas into operating systems. WHAT YOU’LL DO - Architect, model, and draw reactor subsystems (thermal, vacuum, materials handling) in CAD (Fusion). - Specify components, tolerances, and materials for high-temperature, corrosive, and vacuum environments. - Build and iterate prototypes; run experiments; analyze data to drive design decisions. - Author procedures, test plans, and safety/operating documentation. - Collaborate with fabrication partners; support continuous improvement. WHAT YOU BRING Required - Proficiency in CAD (Fusion) - Hands-on experience with metal machining and shop tools - Experience with high-temperature systems and/or vacuum hardware - Detail-orientation and precise technical execution - Comfort working independently in a fast-paced, build-measure-learn environment - Availability to start soon Preferred - Coursework or experience in chemistry or physics (thermo, materials, reaction engineering, or similar) COMPENSATION & BENEFITS - Competitive base salary - Generous stock options - Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance - Company-provided lunch daily. - Visa sponsorship available if needed
