About Us
We are an innovative new venture focused on
advanced micro nuclear power system
for power generation to deliver safe, clean, and renewable power for the future. Our mission is to accelerate the transition to sustainable energy through advanced nuclear technology that is scalable, efficient, and reliable. As we expand, we are seeking passionate engineers to help design the next generation of thermal and power generation systems.
Position Summary
We are seeking a
Mechanical Design Engineer
to join our engineering team. This role focuses on detailed mechanical design, packaging, and integration of power and thermal systems within a multidisciplinary engineering team.
The ideal candidate has experience designing
complex hardware , including rotating equipment, pressure vessels, piping systems, and thermal-mechanical components, and is comfortable working within collaborative, performance-driven environments.
Key Responsibilities
Perform detailed clean sheet
mechanical design
of power system hardware, including:
Structural components and system packaging Piping, manifolds, and process flow layouts Pressure vessels, recuperators and heat exchangers
Create and maintain high-quality
3D CAD models and production drawings , applying proper
GD&T
in accordance with aerospace standards. Support integration of mechanical designs with:
Thermal engineering
(heat transfer, cooling paths, transient conditions) Controls and instrumentation
(valves, actuators, sensors, interfaces) Systems engineering requirements and configuration management
Design and support
rotating equipment and power-generation components , including pumps, turbines, compressors, and auxiliary drives. Assist with
vendor technical coordination , including:
Preparing technical specifications and statements of work Supporting supplier evaluations and component down-selection Assisting with vendor qualification and first article development Reviewing vendor drawings and data packages
Apply
additive manufacturing (DED, LPBF)
where appropriate for complex geometries, particularly advanced heat exchangers and integrated thermal-structural components. Support
material selection
for high-temperature and high-reliability applications, considering strength, fatigue, creep, corrosion, and manufacturability. Perform basic to intermediate
stress and thermal-mechanical analyses
to support design decisions and margin assessments. Support hardware build, test rig, and design iteration activities, incorporating test feedback into updated designs. Develop specifications and standard work requirements based on top level system objectives.
Required Qualifications
Bachelors degree in
Mechanical Engineering
or related discipline 5+ years of experience in
mechanical design
within aerospace, defense, energy, or similarly regulated industries Proficiency with
3D CAD tools

GD&T
and aerospace drawing standards Experience with:
Rotating machinery
and power systems Pressure vessels, boilers, and heat exchangers Piping systems, P&IDs, and process flow diagrams
Ability to collaborate effectively within multidisciplinary engineering teams
Preferred / Plus Qualifications
Experience with
aerospace, power systems , or advanced energy systems Experience with
metal additive manufacturing
and design-for-AM principles Experience with ASME BPVC, aerospace structural standards, or high-reliability design practices Experience designing for extreme environments (high temperature, vacuum, radiation, or long-life systems)
Core Competencies
Detail-oriented mechanical design and documentation Strong understanding of
strength of materials
and mechanical fundamentals Ability to translate system requirements into manufacturable hardware Clear technical communication and documentation skills What We Offer
Competitive salary Comprehensive benefits package including healthcare, dental, vision, STD, LTD, Life/AD&D and 401(k). Opportunity to
pioneer advanced nuclear fuel technologies
driving the next generation of clean energy. Collaborative, mission-driven environment that fosters technical excellence and innovation. Career advancement potential as AMPERA expands its fuel development and reactor manufacturing programs.
