At Entocycle, Silicon Valley technology meets waste-recycling insects. We are developing and deploying the world's most efficient and sustainable technology to make the production of insect protein more accurate and efficient. We are looking for a highly motivated Senior Mechanical Design Engineer to join our dynamic start-up team as we build fully automated, smart insect factories to help sustainably feed the world.
We are looking for a Senior Mechanical Engineer to join our growing team. If you have a strong background in mechanical engineering (BEng. min 2:1 and proven industry experience), an analytical approach to problem solving and an interest in clean-tech, please get in touch. Your skill, insight and ingenuity will directly shape Entocycle’s creation of the technological infrastructure of the most efficient Black Soldier Fly factory in the world.
Main Duties & Responsibilities
- To define bespoke solutions based on sound engineering principles to challenging problems referencing the company's internal scientific data and prior art.
- Sound knowledge of mechanical engineering science and practice. (Stress & deflection of elements and structures, scientific method, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, powertrains, Design for Manual Assembly, Value engineering)
- To understand the underlying physics of complex problems and carry out appropriate calculations by hand or program to analyse and validate solutions.
- Be responsible for delivering parts, assemblies and systems from concept and proof of principle through to developed prototypes and production. Solid understanding of manufacturing processes and willingness to get hands dirty in installation and commissioning of designs.
- Develop 3D CAD (preferably solidworks), engineering drawings and tolerance stacks for mechanical and electrical components and assemblies.
- Ability to mentor and guide junior team members. Supervisory experience and experience in approving designs for release.
- Work closely with commercial and engineering disciplines to ensure that the product performance, reliability and cost expectations are clearly specified and met within the planned timeline of the project
