Prototype Engineer

TauMat, LLC

Location: Silver Spring,MD, USA

Date: 2025-01-01T18:08:38Z

Job Description:

Are you ready to join a startup at the ground floor? Well, look no further - TauMat is hiring a prototyping engineer to be the newest member of our team!

This role will involve supporting the design, assembly, and testing of thermal components at the research and development level with an eye toward manufacturability and commercialization. The individual who fills this position will work closely with us to develop, implement, and scale our hardware and manufacturing processes for thermal systems. Candidates should express an eagerness to join a new start-up on the ground floor with an opportunity for leadership and a pathway to vested ownership. TauMat is based in Silver Spring, MD in the Washington DC metro area; the position will initially involve hybrid remote and on-site but will transition to primarily on-site work (with ad-hoc remote work where appropriate) as hardware is developed and as manufacturing capabilities are stood up.

Highly qualified candidates should have a BS with 5+ years' experience, MS, or PhD with relevant experience in:

  • Prototyping and small-batch part production
  • Thermal-mechanical testing and design/fabrication of custom test setups
  • The development of new manufacturing processes, including additive manufacturing
  • Equipment purchasing and installation
  • Operating manufacturing equipment
  • Developing and implementing quality control assessments
  • Manufacturing supply chain management

Additional qualifications preferred:

  • Experience with manufacturing and/or design of thermal components (i.e. heatsinks, cold plates, two phase cooling systems, HVAC equipment, etc.)
  • Experience with fabrication of metal components
  • Experience in metallurgical processing
  • A background in heat transfer
  • Experience with 3D design software such as SolidWorks
  • Eligibility for US security clearance

About us: TauMat was founded at the start of 2023 by two former Army scientists. Our mission is to deliver device-, component-, and system-level transient thermal solutions. To date we have focused primarily on research and development to bring our cutting-edge materials-driven approach to address thermal problems in the energy, defense, and electronics sectors. We are in the process of developing and testing new hardware and transitioning hardware we have developed to production and are seeking a core team member to accelerate these efforts. We offer a competitive salary, 401k matching, paid time off, and health insurance.
