About the Role
Eden Tech is seeking Mechanical Engineers with deep expertise in rotating machinery, structural analysis, vibratory analysis, CFD, and high-speed mechanical systems. These are foundational hires who will work directly on the design, analysis, simulation, and validation of our Reverse Osmosis Centrifuge; a safety-critical, high-RPM system operating under significant pressure and rotational loads. You will work closely with our engineering team throughout the pilot phase and into commercial scale-up.
What You Will Do
- Lead structural and dynamic analysis of the ROC system, including vibration, fatigue, and containment design
- Develop and run mechanical simulations (FEA, CFD, rotordynamics) to validate design assumptions
- Analytically confirm the validity of simulation results
- Design and iterate on high-speed rotating components including shafts, housings, bearings, seals, and pressure vessels
- Support prototype builds and pilot deployments, resolving field mechanical issues
- Collaborate with electrical and software engineers on system integration and control interfaces
- Define test protocols, analyze test data, and drive design improvements based on results
- Maintain design documentation, drawings, and engineering change records
What We Are Looking For
- 5+ years of hands-on experience with high-speed rotating machinery such as centrifuges, turbomachinery, pumps, compressors, or flywheels
- Strong background in rotordynamics, vibration analysis, fatigue design, and containment
- Proficiency with FEA and simulation tools (ANSYS, SolidWorks Simulation, or equivalent)
- Experience with pressure vessel design and relevant codes (ASME or equivalent)
- Comfortable working in a startup environment with hands-on prototype involvement
- BS or MS in Mechanical Engineering; advanced degree preferred
- Priority given to candidates with a PE license
Nice to Have
- Experience in oil and gas, water treatment, or desalination applications
- Familiarity with membrane separation or filtration systems
- Experience designing for harsh or field-deployed environments
