Mechanical Designer
El Segundo, CA
Engineering (Turbomachinery) /
Full Time (Salaried) /
On-site
We are looking for a Mechanical Designerto be responsible for the detailed modeling of components from a multidisciplinary team of engineers, integration of components into assemblies, and interfacing with manufacturing. You will also perform checking duties related to assembly and component drawings, part structures (BOMs) and item specific information for accuracy of design intent and application specific information.
Arbor’s team of world-class engineers and scientists are developing a scalable, low-cost approach to Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) based on modern rocket engine technology. BECCS is a carbon dioxide removal (CDR) approach that uses biomass to produce energy and remove CO₂ from the atmosphere and store it permanently underground, while ensuring food security, rural livelihoods, and biodiversity are not affected. Our modular technology leverages the power density of supercritical CO2 to enable compact gasification, oxy-combustion, and high-pressure turbo-expansion to convert abundant waste biomass into clean electricity, water, and high-purity CO2, capturing and sequestering all emissions from the process. Our team brings together a passion for science, technology, and global stewardship to make low-cost, high-quality carbon removal and baseload power a reality.
