Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
Own the detailed design and structural analysis of rotating and static turbomachinery components from concept to release. Produce manufacturing-ready drawing packages and iterate designs based on build and test results.
Requires a B.S. or M.S. in mechanical or aerospace engineering with 5-7+ years of component design experience. Must be expert in SolidWorks and ANSYS with a strong foundation in mechanics of materials and GD&T.
We are a small, fast-moving team building next-generation gas turbine engines to power the future of aerospace, defense, and energy. Backed by leading investors and led by proven founders, we're assembling a high-performance team to reinvent propulsion and power from the ground up. This is a rare chance to create genuinely new technology and to watch it go from a sketch on your screen to hardware coming off the line and into service. We design it, analyze it, build it, and test it, often in the same week.
As our turbomachinery design engineer, you turn concepts into manufacturable, flight-worthy hardware. You own the detailed design of rotating and static components — impellers, blisks, shafts, housings, and combustors — and you carry enough of your own structural analysis to know your parts will survive before they are ever cut.
Own the detailed design of rotating parts (impellers, blisks, shafts, rotor stacks) and static structure (housings, casings, hot-section) from concept to release.
Produce manufacturing-ready drawing packages: GD&T per ASME Y14.5, tolerance stack-ups, and specifications the shop and suppliers can build from.
Run your own structural FEA — static, thermal-structural, modal, and fatigue / life — to size and de-risk parts before they are ever cut.
Design for manufacturability across precision machining, casting, and additive, working directly with the shop and suppliers.
See parts through build and test, folding what the test stand teaches back into the next revision.
Move fluidly across the design, build, and test loop as the program needs.
B.S. or M.S. in mechanical, aerospace, or a related discipline, with roughly 5-7+ years of serious component-design experience for aerospace or similarly demanding applications.
Expert with SolidWorks (or comparable) for complex parts, assemblies, and drawing packages, with rigorous GD&T per ASME Y14.5.
Able to run your own structural FEA in ANSYS (or comparable): static, thermal-structural, modal, and fatigue / life.
Strong mechanics-of-materials fundamentals — stress, fatigue, tolerancing, and material selection.
A real design-for-manufacturability instinct across machining, casting, and/or additive.
Genuinely hands-on — comfortable on the shop floor and at the test stand.
Clear technical communication, and the instinct to back claims with data rather than assertion.
Fluent with modern AI tools and able to use them to move faster — while staying appropriately skeptical: you verify what they produce, understand where they break down, and never let them substitute for your own engineering judgment.
Rotating-machinery / turbomachinery component design — impellers, blisks, disks, shafts, rotor stacks.
High-speed, high-temperature, or high-cycle-fatigue applications.
Rotordynamics, structural dynamics, vibration, or lifing analysis.
High-temperature materials and processes — nickel superalloys, casting, brazing, additive, coatings.
Experience releasing hardware to production and working with a supply chain.
Scripting and automation (e.g., Python) for analysis or design.
Estimated Salary Range: $160,00 - $220,00 plus equity
Compensation for this role is based on a range of factors including experience, education, critical skills, and business considerations. Actual offers may vary. Where a salary range is displayed, it reflects an estimate only. Highly competitive equity grants are included in most full-time offers.
We offer comprehensive benefits for full-time employees, including:
Premium Healthcare Coverage: 100% company-paid medical, dental, and vision insurance for you and your eligible dependents
Complete Protection: Full company-paid life insurance, short-term disability, and long-term disability coverage
Flexible Time Off: Open PTO policy plus 13 paid company holidays
Family Support: 8 weeks of paid parental leave and comprehensive leave options
Wellness Resources: Access to mental health services, Employee Assistance Program, and financial coaching
Pre-Tax Benefits: Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA), Health Savings Accounts (HSA), and commuter benefits
Professional Growth: Development opportunities including mentorship and skill development
Retirement Planning: 401(k) plan with company matching
The recruiter assigned to this role can share more information about the specific compensation and benefit details associated with this role during the hiring process.
Own problems the moment you see them and drive them to resolution regardless of whose area they touch
Lead by example at every level, and check your ego at the door. The best idea wins, full stop
Can prioritize ruthlessly when the list is longer than the day
Believe that discipline and rigor are what create the freedom to move fast — not obstacles to it
Joining a company this early is not for everyone. And the people who do their best work here tend to know exactly why they want it.
What makes it exceptional: you won't be maintaining someone else's legacy. You'll help define the architecture from first principles, follow your work all the way to fielded hardware. You will operate with almost no layers between an idea and a decision. Real breadth, real ownership, real stakes.
What's genuinely hard: ambiguity is the default, the intensity is real, and it carries startup risk. You'll often build the process before you can build the thing. Priorities shift as we learn. If that tradeoff sounds like exactly what you've been looking for, we want to hear from you.
We are an equal opportunity employer committed to creating a diverse and inclusive workplace. We foster a culture of ownership, initiative, inclusion, and mutual respect. All qualified applicants will be treated with respect and receive equal consideration for employment without regard to race, color, creed, religion, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, national origin, disability, uniform service, veteran status, age, or any other protected characteristic per federal, state, or local law, including those with a criminal history, in a manner consistent with the requirements of applicable state and local laws. We actively encourage members of recognized minorities, women, veterans, and those with disabilities to apply. If you're passionate about revolutionizing aerospace propulsion, we'd love to hear from you.
This position may require access to information protected under U.S. export control laws and regulations, including the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) and the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). Please note that any offer for employment may be conditioned on authorization to receive software or technology controlled under these U.S. export control laws and regulations without sponsorship for an export license.
We will provide the federal government with your Form I-9 information to confirm that you are authorized to work in the U.S.
