AtmosZero · Loveland, Colorado (onsite) · Full-time · Engineer III
Reports to: VP, Engineering
Why this role exists
Industrial steam runs manufacturing, and most of it still comes from combustion-based boilers. AtmosZero is developing Boiler 2.0, a modular industrial heat pump that produces steam from electricity and air. We are packaging first-of-a-kind 1 MW hardware into an integrated system that can be fabricated, shipped, installed, serviced, and built again. This role owns the mechanical integration details that turn individual components into a repeatable product.
What you will do
- Own mechanical integration and packaging of the complete 1 MW system, including equipment layouts, skids, process piping, structures, supports, enclosures, lifting, shipping, installation, and service access.
- Integrate heat exchangers, compressors, pumps, valves, electrical hardware, controls hardware, and supporting equipment into controlled system layouts.
- Develop and release 3D assemblies, routing, drawings, BOMs, interface definitions, and supplier-ready design packages.
- Support suppliers and fabricators through design review, fabrication, receiving, assembly, integration, and test.
- Resolve packaging and build issues with technicians, manufacturing, supply chain, process, controls, and test teams; drive ECOs and drawing updates to closure.
- Apply DFMA, modularization, packaging optimization, component standardization, and configurable-design methods.
- Translate Unit 1 build and test learning into repeatable designs for Unit 2 and later systems.
- Support lifting, transport, installation, commissioning, and field-service planning for packaged equipment.
What success looks like in your first year
- In the first 90 days, understand the full package architecture and own a defined system-integration work package.
- By six months, release layouts and drawings, resolve build issues in hardware, and close the resulting ECOs.
- By twelve months, deliver a validated packaging or modularization improvement incorporated into Unit 2 or a later production design.
What we need from you
- Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering or a related discipline, with experience appropriate to the level at which you are hired.
- Strong fundamentals in equipment layout, piping, structures, supports, tolerances, thermal growth, load paths, lifting, and serviceability.
- Experience integrating multidisciplinary industrial hardware from layout through detailed design, release, fabrication, assembly, and test.
- Experience developing large 3D assemblies and production-quality drawings in SolidWorks or a comparable CAD/PDM environment.
- Ability to create and review specifications, BOMs, drawings, interface definitions, calculations, ECOs, and design-review records.
- Ability to work directly with fabricators, suppliers, technicians, and cross-functional engineering teams in a fast-moving hardware environment.
What would help
- Experience with process skids, packaged industrial equipment, HVAC or refrigeration equipment, industrial heat pumps, pressure equipment, process piping, or comparable integrated hardware.
- Deep SolidWorks experience with large assemblies, configurations, weldments, routing, drawings, BOMs, and PDM-controlled release.
- Working knowledge of ASME B31 piping requirements, structural design, welding, fabrication, GD&T, or piping-stress analysis.
- Experience with DFMA, product modularization, configurable designs, value engineering, new-product introduction, or field installation.
