Machine Designer

At Sirona Technologies, we are developing direct air capture (DAC) technology to remove CO2 from the air and combat climate change. We are a young startup in the R&D phase, scaling up our lab prototype into larger and larger machines.

We are looking for an exceptional and mission-driven machine designer to lead the prototyping of our direct air capture machine. As a member of the core team, you will be expected to rapidly grow your responsibilities in order to help fulfill our ambitious goals.

Responsibilities

As a machine designer, you will have to:

• Lead the technical drawings of our machine, using CAD software to create manufacturable parts
• Assist in material selection based on application needs, cost, and other relevant factors
• Collaborate closely with other engineering, research, and production teams to ensure a cohesive design process
• Introduce prototyping and manufacturing constraints driven by production efficiency and feasibility
• Supervise manufacturing and assembling of the prototypes
• Supervise test runs and make necessary adjustments to make sure the machine reaches the expected performance

Requirements

• A background in mechanical, automation or electro-mechanical engineering
• Proven experience in machine design, preferably in a startup or fast-paced environment
• Designing skills in mechanics and electro-mechanics
• Proficiency in relevant software tools for technical drawings, preferably SolidWorks
• Strong English verbal and written communication skills
• Creative, curious and pro-active
• Strong problem-solving skills
• Smart but humble, with a bias for action

Apply

If you’re interested in contributing to the fight against climate change and are looking for a fast-paced organization where you will be able to have an out-sized impact, we’d love to hear from you.
