Divea's main goal is to expand Humanity's technology tree by developing value-added products for society based on graphene membranes. In particular our goal is the research, development and large-scale production of nanopores in a monatomic layer of graphene for gas separation, particularly for capturing CO2 from industrial emissions.
We don't care where you studied or which diploma you have, we are looking for problem-solvers who get things done with a high sense of urgency. If you want to build products that are added value to society, this is the place for you. We are looking for proof of exceptional abilities and high motivation.
As a Mechanical Engineer, you will be getting your hands dirty with our science team in order to optimise all the different synthesis steps for transforming graphene into a membrane for gas separation. You will be working on the scale-up and automatisation of the different setups. You have to expect very rapid prototyping iterations. Most of these steps are being developed from scratch by our team and require a critical thinking and a first-principle approach.
For the more traditional description:
What you will be doing
- Use mechanical engineering fundamentals, analysis, and design software to create complete mechanical design concepts for robust, low-risk, and cost-efficient machine designs that will complete the project scope within the budget and schedule parameters defined by the project scope documents
- Support the fabrication and assembly processes for the project as required
- Participate in mechanical debug activities to ensure the machine assembly and debug phases of the project are completed on schedule
- Work with component suppliers to specify and acquire quotes for commercial machine components
- Designing systems for gas injections.
- Designing systems for heating and cooling.
- Simulating Gas flow through a reactor.
- Simulating heat transfer through a mechanical module.
- Designing a Roll-to-Roll production line.
Basic Qualifications
- Background in Mechanical Engineering or a relevant engineering discipline
- Extremely strong mechanical aptitude and ability to conceptualize and create mechanical designs
- Understanding of a material's stress and tension properties
- Understanding of fundamentals of Fluid mechanics and heat transfer, as well as the use of FEM software for performing detailed simulations.
- Proficiency in using solid modeling CAD design software
Ways to stand out from the crowd
- Experience with (extremely) fast prototyping
- Desire to work in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment
- Good and electronics prototyping
- Experience with aluminum profiles structures
Additional Requirements
- Must be willing to work extended hours and/or weekends, necessary to support critical milestones
Your level and base salary will be determined on a case-by-case basis and may vary based on the following considerations: job-related knowledge and skills, education, and experience.
Base salary is just one part of your total rewards package at Divea. You may also be eligible for long-term incentives, in the form of company stock, stock options, or long-term cash awards, as well as potential discretionary bonuses and the ability to purchase additional stock at a discount through an Employee Stock Purchase Plan.
