Airtronics Inc. is seeking a Mechanical Engineer / Industrial Engineer to support the mechanical design of industrial chemical process equipment for battery recycling and critical materials recovery. This role will work directly with chemical engineers, chemists, technicians, and controls personnel to design, build, modify, and troubleshoot bench-scale and scale-up process systems.

The ideal candidate will have a BS-level mechanical or industrial engineering background, strong SolidWorks capability, and practical experience designing equipment, fixtures, layouts, and mechanical systems used in process engineering environments.

Key Responsibilities

  • Mechanical Process Design: Design mechanical systems and equipment to support chemical and electrochemical process development. 
  • Engineering Support: Work with chemical engineers to translate process requirements into mechanical designs for reactors, separators, tanks, pumps, transfer lines, filtration systems, solids handling, and sample-collection points. 
  • Scale-Up Support: Assist in the design and modification of equipment for bench-scale, semicontinuous, and future scale-up process operation. 
  • CAD and Drawings: Develop SolidWorks models, assemblies, drawings, and bills of materials for process equipment, fixtures, and supporting hardware. 
  • Mechanical Analysis: Use appropriate mechanical analysis tools to assess structural, thermal, fluid-handling, or manufacturability considerations. 
  • Fabrication Coordination: Work with internal and external fabrication resources to support prototype construction, installation, troubleshooting, and design revisions. 
  • System Integration: Support integration of balance-of-plant components including pumps, balance tanks, tubing or piping, containment, access panels, supports, and equipment layouts. 
  • Documentation: Maintain design records, drawing packages, revision histories, test notes, and engineering documentation. 
Qualifications

  • Education: BS in Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or a closely related discipline. 
  • Technical Skills: Proficiency with SolidWorks and mechanical drawing development. 
  • Experience: Experience with mechanical design, process equipment, industrial systems, or manufacturing support. 
  • Practical Design Ability: Ability to design parts and assemblies that can be fabricated, assembled, maintained, and modified in a working engineering environment. 
  • Collaboration: Ability to work closely with chemical engineers, chemists, technicians, machinists, and controls personnel. 
  • Communication: Strong written and verbal communication skills. 
Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with chemical process equipment, battery recycling, critical materials processing, or laboratory/pilot-scale systems. 
  • Experience with pumps, tanks, tubing, piping, filtration, solids handling, or industrial process layouts. 
  • Experience in a hands-on manufacturing, prototype, machine shop, or R&D environment. 
  • Familiarity with safety considerations for chemical processing equipment. 
Why Join Us

  • Opportunity to design real equipment for a growing critical-materials recovery program. 
  • Hands-on role connecting mechanical engineering, process engineering, and manufacturing. 
  • Competitive compensation and benefits. 
  • Opportunity to work in a practical engineering environment with direct impact on system buildout and scale-up.

U.S. Equal Opportunity Employment Information (Completion is voluntary)

We are an equal opportunity employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability status, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.

You are being given the opportunity to provide the following information in order to help us comply with federal and state Equal Employment Opportunity/Affirmative Action record keeping, reporting, and other legal requirements.

Completion of the form is entirely voluntary. Whatever your decision, it will not be considered in the hiring process or thereafter. Any information that you do provide will be recorded and maintained in a confidential file.

Form CC-305
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 4/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.

How do you know if you have a disability?

A disability is a condition that substantially limits one or more of your “major life activities.” If you have or have ever had such a condition, you are a person with a disability. Disabilities include, but are not limited to:

  • Alcohol or other substance use disorder (not currently using drugs illegally)
  • Autoimmune disorder, for example, lupus, fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, HIV/AIDS
  • Blind or low vision
  • Cancer (past or present)
  • Cardiovascular or heart disease
  • Celiac disease
  • Cerebral palsy
  • Deaf or serious difficulty hearing
  • Diabetes
  • Disfigurement, for example, disfigurement caused by burns, wounds, accidents, or congenital disorders
  • Epilepsy or other seizure disorder
  • Gastrointestinal disorders, for example, Crohn's Disease, irritable bowel syndrome
  • Intellectual or developmental disability
  • Mental health conditions, for example, depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety disorder, schizophrenia, PTSD
  • Missing limbs or partially missing limbs
  • Mobility impairment, benefiting from the use of a wheelchair, scooter, walker, leg brace(s) and/or other supports
  • Nervous system condition, for example, migraine headaches, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis (MS)
  • Neurodivergence, for example, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism spectrum disorder, dyslexia, dyspraxia, other learning disabilities
  • Partial or complete paralysis (any cause)
  • Pulmonary or respiratory conditions, for example, tuberculosis, asthma, emphysema
  • Short stature (dwarfism)
  • Traumatic brain injury

PUBLIC BURDEN STATEMENT: According to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 no persons are required to respond to a collection of information unless such collection displays a valid OMB control number. This survey should take about 5 minutes to complete.

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.
