Mechatronics Engineer at energy startup

Mechatronics Engineer at an energy startup

We are looking for a Mechatronics Engineer to join our team and help create the next generation of power technology. This role is perfect for someone who thinks in terms of systems and is passionate about the seamless fusion of mechanical, electrical, and software engineering. You will be instrumental in the bring‑up and validation of our Light Cell prototypes—a complex system involving fluidics, thermal management, custom electronics, and intelligent control.

• Integrated System Assembly:
  Take a hands‑on lead in assembling and integrating electromechanical prototypes that include fluid systems, thermal components, custom PCBs, and embedded controllers.
• Control Loop Tuning and Validation:
  Implement and tune PID control loops for pumps and heaters, working at the intersection of firmware and physical system response to optimize performance.
• Multi‑Domain Troubleshooting:
  Diagnose and solve complex issues that span the entire system, whether the root cause is a mechanical tolerance, a noisy sensor line, or a bug in the state machine.
• Develop Automated Test Systems:
  Design and build test setups with the appropriate mechanical fixtures, data acquisition hardware, and control scripts (Python) to validate system performance.
• System‑Level Design Input:
  Leverage your integration experience to provide feedback to the entire engineering team, influencing future designs for easier assembly, testing, and debugging.

• B.S. or M.S. in Mechatronics, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field.
• Demonstrated project experience bringing a complex electromechanical or robotic system to life is required.
• Hands‑on experience across the three core mechatronics pillars: mechanical assembly, electronics, and embedded programming.
• A portfolio showcasing previous hands‑on projects is highly encouraged.

Location:

Our facility in Somerville, MA.
