Location: South San Francisco, CA
Aperia Technologies (<
http://www.aperiatech.com>www.aperiatech.com)
Description
Aperia is a funded automotive product startup
developing a fully-mechanical device which
improves vehicle energy efficiency. We are
seeking a passionate mechanical design engineer,
who is practically minded and hands-on yet
demonstrates an aptitude for high-level
theoretical analysis. Candidate will design and
engineer a close-to-market mechanical product for
use in external automotive environments. The job
requires a detail-oriented individual who is
highly motivated and self directed, with great
machine shop skills and project management skills alike.
Candidate must have a high level of demonstrated
practical expertise in the following areas
• General machine design – cam design, bolted
joint design, bearings, air pressurization
systems, rolling surfaces, sliding surfaces,
springs, fatigue, thermal expansion, etc
• CAE (Solidworks preferred)- FEA, dynamics
analysis (frequency response, motion simulation), thermal analysis
• CAD (Solidworks) - Medium complexity assembly,
part design for injection molding, die casting, machining
• Tolerance design - tolerance stack and
tolerance selection based on mfg method and cost requirements
• DFM - determine design and engineering
implications and requirements of stamping,
injection molding, sand/shell casting, die
casting, and powder metallurgy processes
• Test development and execution –testing of
mechanical systems to generate information which
will be used to improve reliability
• Performance plastics - fatigue, wear, high and
low temperature, weathering, impact, chemical compatibility
• Rubbers and sealing systems – previous
experience with the design of O-ring and gasket
sealing of pressurized air that must withstand
high and low temps, chemical exposure, and moist environments
• Metals and coatings selection – practical
expertise in the areas of corrosion prevention
(galvanic, atmospheric), cold/hot capabilities, creep, wear, hardenability, etc
The right candidate will be able to implement all
the aforementioned expertise in leading the
design of at least one subsystem, through several
prototype phases to market entry and beyond. You
will have release responsibilities which include
drawing creation and interaction with the
operations lead to assist with developing
assembly processes, assembly fixtures, as well as
Tolerance and QA requirements.
