Senior Engineer II, Mechanical/Dispersion Systems

Responsibilities

• Lead the design and development of aerosol dispersion systems, owning mechanical performance from concept through prototyping and validation.
• Design and optimize particle and fluid handling systems, including mechanisms for controlled release, flow regulation, and dispersal behavior.
• Develop hardware intended for integration with mobile and diverse platforms, accounting for size, weight, power, and environmental constraints.
• Rapidly prototype and iterate on designs using hands-on build methods such as 3D printing and machining.
• Design and execute bench-scale tests to evaluate system performance, including flow rates, particle distribution, and repeatability.
• Collaborate with external manufacturers and machine shops to fabricate components and refine designs for manufacturability.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in mechanical, aerospace, or a related engineering discipline with 8+ years of industry experience, a Master’s with 6+ years, or a PhD with 3+ years.
• Strong foundation in fluid dynamics and particle behavior, specifically with experience designing systems involving spray or particulate dispersion.
• Demonstrated ability to own end-to-end mechanical design from concept through prototyping, testing, and iteration.
• Proficiency in 3D CAD tools such as SolidWorks, Fusion, or OnShape.
• Ability to work onsite in the North Denver/Boulder Metro, Colorado area.
• Strong organizational and project management skills with the ability to drive initiatives in a fast-paced, experimental environment.
