Job Description

Workplace type: Remote

About Company

We are a US-based, VC-backed startup helping rebuild mineral processing to unlock critical-mineral resources that are currently uneconomic. We design, build, and test our own electrochemical cells in-house.

About the Role

We design our cells by hand first — we sketch the parts, machine them locally, assemble and test, then revise. Turning those sketches into SolidWorks models and dimensioned drawings a machine shop can quote and cut without coming back with questions.

This is an execution role. We own the design intent; what we need is someone who can take a sketch and turn it into clean, manufacturable hardware fast, then iterate with us as the design changes every couple of weeks.

What You'll Do

Turn hand sketches into clean, fully defined SolidWorks models of machined plates and housings.
Produce dimensioned, toleranced drawings a shop can quote and cut without follow-up questions.
Design for leak-free bolted assemblies that seal against gaskets and membranes.
Iterate fast with the team — we change one or two things and rebuild every couple of weeks.

Required Skills

You live in SolidWorks and have released drawings to real machine shops.
Experience with machined plates and housings in both engineering plastics and metals — PEEK, titanium, and nickel.
A firm grasp of tolerances, flatness, and surface finish on sealing faces: our plates bolt together with gaskets and membranes and have to run leak-free.
A background in prototype and lab hardware more than production.

Preferred

Direct experience with flow cells, electrolyzers, fuel cells, or batteries would be ideal. Any sealed fluidic assembly counts — manifolds, valve bodies, heat exchangers, microfluidics.
