Building the first pilot unit at an industrial scale at Ucaneo to remove CO2 from the atmosphere.

We're seeking a skilled Mechanical Engineer to join our Berlin-based startup, focusing on optimizing our aeration unit for Direct Air Capture (DAC) systems. Operating in an agile environment, you'll be part of a 3-5 member Hardware Engineering team, responsible for stakeholder management, procurement, and simulation of both CAD & CFD designs. Collaborating closely with our hardware team, you'll execute CAD design using software and simulation tools to ensure optimal product design and aerodynamic performance. You'll also define mechanical test rigs, validate concepts through prototype fabrication, and manage procurement requirements with meticulous attention to detail and industry standards.

Key Responsibilities

• Responsible for the CAD Design of our products together with our Hardware team
• Conducting mechanical engineering calculations to support HVAC system designs, including heat load calculations, duct sizing, chilled water hydraulics, static pressure calculations, and equipment selection.
• Utilise CFD simulations to analyse and optimise the aerodynamic performance
• Validate your concepts by constructing prototypes utilising a diverse array of fabrication techniques, including 3D printing, welding, CNC machining, and manual assembly
• Writing assembly manuals, preparing Bill of Materials (BOM) and ensuring delivery of all components as per the project schedule
• Knowledge of materials (plastics, metals, composites), associated manufacturing processes incl industry standards and regulations
