What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Mechanical Design Engineer position at Terraform Industries?
At Terraform Industries we believe in a future where energy is universally cheap, clean, and abundant. We’re developing the Terraformer, a scalable machine to make cheap synthetic carbon-neutral natural gas. A Terraformer will mine the sky, to quench the flow of carbon from the crust into the atmosphere. Instead of extracting carbon from deep underground, Terraform’s technology enables humans anywhere to create cost-effective industrial-scale quantities of hydrocarbons directly from solar energy and air.
Your mission will be to design and deliver low-cost, minimal complexity, robust mechanical systems to synthesize fuel from water, sunlight, and air.
You will be the Mechanical Engineer within the technical team reporting to the subsystem lead.
