Mechanical Engineer
Job Description
About the Role
Eden Tech is seeking Mechanical Engineers with deep expertise in rotating machinery, structural analysis, vibratory analysis, CFD, and high-speed mechanical systems. These are foundational hires who will work directly on the design, analysis, simulation, and validation of our Reverse Osmosis Centrifuge; a safety-critical, high-RPM system operating under significant pressure and rotational loads. You will work closely with our engineering team throughout the pilot phase and into commercial scale-up.
What You Will Do
Lead structural and dynamic analysis of the ROC system, including vibration, fatigue, and containment design
Develop and run mechanical simulations (FEA, CFD, rotordynamics) to validate design assumptions
Analytically confirm the validity of simulation results
Design and iterate on high-speed rotating components including shafts, housings, bearings, seals, and pressure vessels
Support prototype builds and pilot deployments, resolving field mechanical issues
Collaborate with electrical and software engineers on system integration and control interfaces
Define test protocols, analyze test data, and drive design improvements based on results
Maintain design documentation, drawings, and engineering change records
What We Are Looking For
5+ years of hands-on experience with high-speed rotating machinery such as centrifuges, turbomachinery, pumps, compressors, or flywheels
Strong background in rotordynamics, vibration analysis, fatigue design, and containment
Proficiency with FEA and simulation tools (ANSYS, SolidWorks Simulation, or equivalent)
Experience with pressure vessel design and relevant codes (ASME or equivalent)
Comfortable working in a startup environment with hands-on prototype involvement
BS or MS in Mechanical Engineering; advanced degree preferred
Priority given to candidates with a PE license
Nice to Have
Experience in oil and gas, water treatment, or desalination applications
Familiarity with membrane separation or filtration systems
Experience designing for harsh or field-deployed environments
Compensation Range: $130K - $170K
