Malibu, CA (On-Site/Office)
General Description:
In this role, you will be joining the Materials and Microsystems Laboratory. Our mission is to push the frontiers of devices, structures, and materials with applications such as electronics cooling, aerospace thermal management, and automotive thermal management. You will support the application of new additive manufacturing methods to yield novel solutions to challenging aerospace, hypersonic, automotive, and defense needs. We are looking for a self-driven engineer interested in learning and advancing within our group.
Essential Duties:
Design, CAD, fabricate, and assemble prototype components and systems using microfabrication, additive manufacturing, and/or conventional machining
Operate laser powder bed fusion, LPBF (metal); fused deposition modeling, FDM (plastic); and stereolithography, SLA (resin) 3D printers
Set up and operate tests to characterize thermal response of prototype systems (temperature, heat dissipation, heat flux)
Set up and operate tests to characterize fluid dynamics response of prototype systems (flow rate, pressure drop)
Test mechanical and materials properties (hardness, tensile testing, flexure testing, etc.)
Coordinate outside vendors for special tests or analyses
Summarize key findings in written documents and slides
Required Skills:
Experience applying the scientific method to plan, conduct, and record experiments
Experience with organizing, analyzing, and presenting scientific data to support conclusions and recommendations
Experience with CAD tools (e.g. Solidworks or Inventor)
Knowledge of at least one programming language for engineering (Python, Matlab, Mathematica), electronics prototyping (Arduino, National Instruments), or finite element analysis (COMSOL, Abaqus, Ansys)
Hands-on experience with additive manufacturing equipment and techniques
Hands-on testing experience in one or more of the following areas: (1) Thermal testing, (2) Fluid dynamics testing, and/or (3) Mechanical testing
Creative problem solving and strong organizational skills
Excellent communication skills, both oral and written
Ability to work well in a team environment
Ability to operate independently
Required Education:
Bachelors or Master's degree in engineering or physical sciences
0-3 years of experience
Understanding of the basic principles of mechanical engineering, including statics, dynamics, mechanics of materials, heat transfer, and fluid dynamics
Physical Requirements:
Must be able to work for extended periods while standing or sitting at a computer workstation.
Must be familiar with safe chemical handling practices and common laboratory safety procedures.
Must be sufficiently mobile to work within a laboratory environment
Special Requirements:
U.S. Person Status Required.
Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. Government security clearance is a plus
Compensation:
The base salary range for this full-time position $76,530 - $93,320 + bonus + benefits.
Our salary ranges are determined by role, level, and location. The range displayed on each job posting reflects the minimum and maximum target for new hire salaries for the position. Within the range, individual pay is determined by work location and additional factors, including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training. Your recruiter can share more about the specific salary range during the hiring process. Please note that the compensation details listed reflect the base salary only, and do not include potential bonus or benefits.
We are proud to be an EEO/AA employer M/F/D/V. We maintain a drug-free workplace and perform pre-employment substance abuse testing.
"This position must meet export control compliance requirements. To meet export control compliance requirements, a "U.S. Person" as defined by 22 C.F.R. § 120.62 is required. "U.S. Person" includes U.S. Citizen, lawful permanent resident, refugee, or asylee."
