The engineer will work closely with technical leadership, manufacturing, and R&D to take concepts from initial design through prototyping, testing, modification, and production implementation.

Design mechanical components, assemblies, fixtures, tooling, and production equipment

Develop detailed 3D CAD models, assemblies, and engineering drawings

Translate engineering concepts and process requirements into manufacturable mechanical designs

Design and modify fixtures and tooling used in coating, testing, fabrication, and production processes

Support prototype development, assembly, testing, and design validation

Perform engineering calculations, tolerance analysis, and design reviews

Work with manufacturing personnel to troubleshoot equipment and process-related mechanical issues

Develop design improvements that increase reliability, repeatability, quality, and manufacturing efficiency

Select appropriate materials, components, hardware, and manufacturing methods

Create and maintain drawings, specifications, bills of materials, and engineering documentation

Support testing and development of components used in electrochemical systems

Collaborate with scientists and engineers working with coatings, metals, electrochemistry, and advanced materials

Support equipment installation, commissioning, modification, and continuous improvement

Work with vendors and fabricators to source and manufacture custom components

Participate in root-cause analysis and resolution of technical and quality issues

Support the transition of R&D processes and equipment into scalable manufacturing

Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related engineering discipline

Professional experience in mechanical engineering, mechanical design, product development, equipment design, or a related role

Strong proficiency with 3D CAD software

Experience producing detailed engineering drawings and manufacturing documentation

Strong understanding of mechanical design principles, materials, tolerances, and manufacturing processes

Ability to design components and assemblies with manufacturability and reliability in mind

Hands-on mechanical aptitude and problem-solving ability

Ability to work effectively across engineering, R&D, manufacturing, and quality functions

Experience with fuel cells, electrolyzers, batteries, energy storage, or related technologies

Experience with metals, specialty coatings, surface treatments, or materials science

Experience designing manufacturing equipment, fixtures, tooling, or test systems

Experience in prototype development and transitioning designs into production

Familiarity with quality systems and engineering change/document-control processes

Experience working in an R&D or advanced manufacturing environment

TreadStone Technologies develops and manufactures patented specialty coatings engineered for demanding electrochemical applications, including fuel cells, PEM electrolyzers, and flow batteries .
