About the role
Making the Metals Powering the World
Solcoa exists to stabilize the western rare-earth metal supply chain—powering every fighter jet, EV, wind turbine, phone, and generator. We’re among the very few companies outside China producing rare-earth metals—and the only one delivering a 100% U.S. supply of both light and heavy rare earths. Our carbon-zero process converts end-of-life magnets directly into metal, ready to accelerate energy independence and secure one of the world’s most vital resources.
We are a lean, well-funded team rapidly accelerating Western rare-earth production. We’re building a world-class team of engineers to solve this crisis.
The Role — Mechanical Engineer
We’re looking for a hands-on mechanical engineer to design, prototype, and scale the next generation of our rare-earth reactors. You’ll own designs from concept through commissioning, working closely with machinists and researchers to turn ideas into operating systems.
What You’ll Do
Architect, model, and draw reactor subsystems (thermal, vacuum, materials handling) in CAD (Fusion).
Specify components, tolerances, and materials for high-temperature, corrosive, and vacuum environments.
Build and iterate prototypes; run experiments; analyze data to drive design decisions.
Author procedures, test plans, and safety/operating documentation.
Collaborate with fabrication partners; support continuous improvement.
What You Bring
Required
Proficiency in CAD (Fusion)
Hands-on experience with metal machining and shop tools
Experience with high-temperature systems and/or vacuum hardware
Detail-orientation and precise technical execution
Comfort working independently in a fast-paced, build-measure-learn environment
