About us Alloy Enterprises is transforming how aluminum parts are made. Aluminum will be part of the electrification journey of everything that moves, and flexible, on-demand, and cost-competitive fabrication will be essential to this transition. Automotive, aerospace, and industrial equipment need to be lighter, and fabrication methods need to keep pace with the speed of innovative new designs. Our novel, scalable, full-stack additive manufacturing process disrupts the multi-year lead time, process limitations, and high up-front cost of aluminum casting. "Alloy Enterprises is fundamentally transforming aluminum manufacturing for transportation, much like Carnegie Steel did for the railroad 100 years ago. Now is the time for us to bring scalable additive aluminum manufacturing to mass production and accelerate our society's ability to electrify everything that moves." - Alison Forsyth, CEO Founded in early 2020, the company has raised $38M and is generating revenue with our pilot manufacturing facility. For the first time, on-demand fabrication meets the cost and scale of casting in an exploding $102B market - largely driven by electrification. We are now building out our team and production fab facilities to meet customer demand. If you are a sleeve-rolling builder who sets their bar high and enjoys thinking out loud in a collaborative and inclusive working environment, we'd love to hear from you. About The Role Alloy seeks a Senior Mechanical Engineer to play a key role on our Machines Team. If you're right for this role, you have made core contributions on both a technical and leadership level to the development of novel hardware. You must be adept and comfortable working on technology at the intersection of engineering and physics. You have demonstrated that you have what it takes to architect and design complex, reliable and performant hardware in a dynamic environment. Core to Alloy's engineering philosophy are a sense of craftsmanship, attention to detail, and a willingness to roll up your sleeves when needed. What You'll Do: Contribute to the design of the machines in Alloy's manufacturing system, including Roll-to-roll machines that prepare, automatically print on, laser cut, inspect, and assemble Alloy's novel feedstock Custom-designed bonding machines Own the end-to-end design process for your work, from requirements generation to design realization, verification, and validation Work cross-functionally with the process, software, product, project management and quality teams to bring complex designs from concept to the production floor Perform appropriate analyses utilizing proof-of-concept calculations, parametric modeling and benchtop testing to evaluate trade-offs Work to improve equipment effectiveness, achievable manufacturing tolerance, process stability and reliability, monitoring, and automation Select and manage external vendors for components and subsystems About You: B.S. in Mechanical Engineering or a closely related field 8+ years of professional experience Experience driving successful outcomes on high-complexity technical projects in an industrial production setting Proficient in CAD/PLM/PDM (preferably SOLIDWORKS) Experience designing for various manufacturing processes (including sheet metal, machining, and welding), and using proper GD&T Able to work independently Experience balancing hand calculations, simulation and prototyping to reduce risk Ability to learn new skills and capabilities on the job Willing to roll up your sleeves and grab a wrench when needed Our machines are complex, and working on them requires the ability to work across multiple mechanical sub-disciplines. As such, extra consideration will be given to candidates with the following skills: Precision machine design Robotics/industrial automation Numerical simulation methods (CFD, FEA, etc.) Rapid prototyping: 3D printing, mill, lathe, laser cutting, CNC, hand tools Fluid and gas handling equipment Motion planning and control Hydraulics Thermal management systems Benefits: Flexible paid time off and nine company holidays Medical, dental, and vision, including dependency coverage 401k with 3% employer contribution, options for pre or post-tax Stock options All employees are eligible for paid parental leave regardless of gender identity or expression Career advancement opportunities in a high-growth environment Good coffee, regular happy hours, and weekly team lunches Additional requirements This position will require access to information subject to control under U.S. export control laws and regulations, including the Export Administration Regulations ("EAR") and International Traffic in Arms Regulations ("ITAR").
