## About the role

We are looking to hire a part-time mechanical engineer to pursue asymmetric-upside designs. We have numerous engineering projects that have the potential to dramatically add value to Voltic, and thus shipping as a whole. However, the current team doesn’t have the bandwidth to pursue all of them at a high fidelity level. You would own one of these projects.

## What they're looking for

- Ability to take design from concept to prototype to mass-production
- Willingness to move quickly and build things in the real world
- Experience with Design for Manufacturing/Assembly principles and manufacturing processes (sheet metal, welding, machining, 3D printing, etc.)
- Proficiency in a CAD software such as SolidWorks or Fusion 360
- Proficiency in a FEA software package such as Abaqus or Ansys
- Comfortable working in an early-stage startup environment with evolving requirements and limited precedent
