PolyJoule, an MIT spinoff, pioneering conductive polymer battery technology using non-metallic, rare-earth-free polymer supply chains. We develop ultra-safe, sustainable, long-life, low-cost battery energy storage systems.
Job Description
PolyJoule is recruiting a part-time / projects-based mechatronics-automation engineer, to prototype, build and refine automation equipment for in-house projects that range from chemical reactors to battery manufacturing.
This is a hands-on position: You will build what you design.
The position is cross-disciplinary, covering mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, hardware, interfacing, signal processing, modifying/augmenting off-the-shelve systems, automation, data management, prototyping, and PLC programming.
Please submit a project portfolio, if available, as part of your application. The role is based in Billerica, MA, and requires in-person attendance.
Responsibilities
- Design, source, and build automated equipment for material handling (solids, liquids, and gases) in an iterative, prototype-to-use environment.
- Add automated capabilities to off-the-shelve hardware such as pumps, motors, heating/cooling, etc.
- Fast turnaround prototyping and process improvement.
- Able to communicate with scientists, engineers and technicians in other fields of study and distill important details that guide design elements and decisions.
- A can-do attitude with a hands-on understanding of various manufacturing processes, including stamping, coating, mixing, heat-transfer, automatic assembly, PLCs and other control schema, quality management.
Additional responsibilities will include:
· Exceptional organization, documentation, communication and presentation skills.
· Ability to work independently and as part of a larger team, in a fast-paced environment
· Safety first and always mindset.
