Sr Mechanical Designer

About the Opportunity

At Skyven Technologies, we have developed a revolutionary heat pump technology to decarbonize industrial heat and move the needle on climate change. Our technologies have the potential to completely eliminate on-site CO2 emissions from industrial steam. We implement this technology through an innovative Energy-as-a-Service model that provides clean process heat to industrial facilities. We identify, fund, design, build, and install our cutting-edge, decarbonization technologies to help industrial manufacturers reach their sustainability goals, while minimizing their risk and reducing their operational expenses.

Industrial heat is responsible for roughly 20% of global CO2 emissions. That’s roughly equivalent to emissions generated by all transportation (including land, sea, and air) and is a compelling business opportunity – it will take an estimated $3.7 trillion in capital investment to decarbonize the sector by 2050. Skyven is at the forefront of this transformation and has recently been selected for a $145M investment from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to accelerate the deployment of our state-of-the-art Skyven Arcturus steam-generating heat pumps (SGHPs) at manufacturing facilities nationwide, revolutionizing how we address energy needs while combating climate change.

About the Role

We are looking for a detail oriented, Senior Mechanical Designer responsible for creating all 3-D modeling of parts and assemblies and associated 2-D drawings for our steam generating heat pump product platform. This role will be an individual contributor and a key leader in the component specification and integration phases of design. This is an opportunity to make a real impact at an innovative and growing climate tech company.

Responsibilities

• Create detailed 3-D parts and assemblies and their associated 2-D drawings in Solidworks 2024 including, but not limited to, overall plant, pump skids, gas compressors, large and small bore water/oil/steam piping and components, lubrication skids, conduit and cable tray routing, modular electrical buildings, structural steel supports and walkways, pressure vessels, and control cabinets.
• Adapt piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&ID) into 3-D models
• Create supporting documentation for mechanical systems including bills of material (BOM).
• Develop Skyven mechanical system design and drafting standards
• Create and document business processes and standard operating procedures related to mechanical design and CAD
• Develop methods and practices for productizing mechanical drawings used in our industrial system with a high degree of reuse, scalability, and automation
• Develop naming, numbering, and metadata conventions for mechanical design drawings to cover the entire product platform and to be managed in Solidworks PDM
• Communicate effectively with new product development engineers and team members
• Provide accurate estimates for man hours and finish dates on mechanical design tasks
• Track day-to-day work in G Suite, Slack, and a other cloud-based platforms

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in engineering or equivalent work experience
