Desirable

• In this role, you will be joining the mechanical design team and will be focused on designing and building the next-generation carbonation equipment
• The carbonation equipment is part of Heirloom’s core technology and requires a low-cost, scalable, and reliable design to meet our goal of removing 1 billion tons of CO2 by 2035
• You will be expected to constantly challenge our assumptions and push the limits of design and manufacturing to achieve our ultimate targets
• As part of the scaled systems mechanical design team, you will independently lead complex electro-mechanical subsystems through the entire product lifecycle with cost and reliability as key drivers
• You will design low- to high-volume parts for a number of manufacturing processes, including but not limited to: sheet metal stamping, casting, roll forming, extrusions, etc
• You will select and integrate automation equipment like motors, actuators, and sensors into your subsystem designs
• Working with suppliers, equipment operators, and our supply chain team, you’ll provide in-depth design for manufacturing and assembly feedback required to ensure that our designs are cost-efficient, robust, sustainable, and capable of high-quality results at scale
