Apply for this role (opens in a new tab)Making the Metals Powering the WorldSolcoa is building the next generation of American metalmaking, starting with rare earths — the metals of power and motion. We've developed a new chemistry that converts rare earth oxides into high-purity metals — the materials inside every EV, fighter jet, wind turbine, and data center — cleaner, cheaper, and faster than any conventional process. Now we're scaling it to thousands of tonnes of annual production.
The Role:
Mechanical Engineer We're looking for a hands-on mechanical engineer to design, prototype, and scale the next generation of our rare-earth reactors. You'll own designs from concept through commissioning, working closely with machinists and researchers to turn ideas into operating systems.
What You'll Do:
- Architect, model, and draw reactor subsystems (thermal, vacuum, materials handling) in CAD (Fusion).Specify components, tolerances, and materials for high-temperature, corrosive, and vacuum environments.
- Build and iterate prototypes; run experiments; analyze data to drive design decisions.
- Author procedures, test plans, and safety/operating documentation.
- Collaborate with fabrication partners; support continuous improvement.
- What You Bring
- RequiredProficiency in CAD (Fusion)
- Hands-on experience with metal machining and shop tools
- Experience with high-temperature systems and/or vacuum hardware
- Detail-orientation and precise technical execution
- Comfort working independently in a fast-paced, build-measure-learn environment
- Availability to start soon
- PreferredCoursework or experience in chemistry or physics (thermo, materials, reaction engineering, or similar)
Compensation & Benefits:
- Competitive base salary
- Generous stock options
- Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance
- Company-provided lunch daily.
- Visa sponsorship available if needed
