Senior Mechanical Engineer

About Dig Energy, Inc.

Dig Energy is an early stage startup enabling affordable geothermal energy for heating, cooling, and refrigeration. We have developed and are deploying a radically inexpensive drilling method that can economically scale geothermal boreholes anywhere. Our initial focus is on commercial heating/cooling. We’ve raised funding from top investors and are now looking to refine our drilling system as we move through our first large projects. Due to the hands-on nature of our work, this is an on-site role, and we’re looking for someone who can come into our office in Manchester, NH.

About the role

We are looking for multi-disciplinary and experienced engineers that can own and execute on core engineering challenges while building processes for quality and scale. The Mechanical Engineer will drive pieces of mechanical design, electro-mechanical packaging, product development and manufacturing. This role will be heavily hands-on engineering and execution focused.

What You Will Do

• Concept development, evaluation and down selection of mechanical systems
• Detailed design and validation of key components and sub-modules
• Component and system level analysis
• Perform systems/material testing to help refine designs
• DFM work with the team to establish robust fabrication and assembly procedures
• Design system components, including detailed drawings for manufacturing using best practices and GD&T
• Product development for novel drilling and geothermal installation systems
• System level lab and field testing

Who You Are

• 5–15 years of hands-on mechanical engineering experience
• Experience in a fast-paced, execution-oriented early stage startup
• Resourceful and highly collaborative team player who thinks creatively and who can work with a fast pace, cross-functional team
• Thorough understanding and use of technical principles, theories, and concepts in mechanical and mechanical systems engineering
• High attention to detail and excellent organizational and communication skills
• Fluent using CAD systems such as SolidWorks
• Experience in engineering analysis such as FEA, CFD, FMEA or PFMEA is a plus
• Working knowledge of manufacturing techniques such as injection molding, sheet metal fabrication, welding, machining and 3D printing
• Familiarity with moving products from R&D through Design and into Manufacturing
• Comfortable creating engineering documentation including 2D part drawings, assemblies and schematics
• BS in Mechanical Engineering, mechatronics, or related field
