Sedron Technologies is seeking a Senior Mechanical Engineer to help solve complex challenges at the intersection of industrial systems and sustainable resource recovery. This role is central to the design, development, and commissioning of industrial-scale equipment used in wastewater treatment, biosolids processing, and waste-to-resource facilities. The Mechanical Engineer will apply core engineering principles to deliver robust solutions-including thermal processing systems, pressure vessels, solids handling equipment, and fluid systems-designed to perform reliably in demanding environments.

Working cross-functionally with process, operations, and project teams, this role requires both strong technical expertise and a systems-level understanding of industrial facility design.

This position includes ownership of large, fabricated structures across the full lifecycle-from concept through fabrication, deployment, and continuous improvement. The ideal candidate has experience designing welded and fabricated systems, with strong judgment in manufacturability, material selection, and performance in corrosive environments. Experience with ASME Section VIII Division 2, fatigue analysis, and FEA is preferred.

Because we design, build, commission, and operate our technologies, we are looking for individuals who can meet the following essential functions of the position:

• Lead the design and development of custom industrial equipment and systems for wastewater, biosolids, and waste-to-resource facilities
• Perform and review engineering analyses (e.g., heat transfer, mass/energy balance, stress, and fluid systems) to support robust, field-ready design
• Develop integrated facility designs including piping, equipment layouts, structural considerations, and utility systems
• Support the full project lifecycle from concept through fabrication, installation, commissioning, and handoff to operations
• Serve as a technical interface with internal teams, clients, and stakeholders to advance projects through design, procurement, and execution
• Collaborate cross-functionally with process, electrical, controls, and operations teams to deliver complete system solutions
• Drive manufacturing readiness, procurement support, and design quality to ensure efficient project execution
• Contribute to engineering standards, best practices, and continuous improvement initiatives across safety, quality, and performance
• Support field activities including site visits, commissioning, and troubleshooting as needed
• This position has multiple levels of competency to be determined by performance, certifications, and supervisor discretion

BENEFITS

• Multiple medical, dental, and vision insurance options to keep you feeling your best
• 401(k) with employer matching - free money for future you
• Generous paid time off and paid holidays (plus 2 floating holidays to use your way)
• Disability, Life, and AD&D Insurance
• FSA and HSA options with employer contributions
• Tuition reimbursement - we invest in your growth
• Casual work attire - no suits required (unless that's your thing)

EDUCATION/EXPERIENCE

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field required; Master's and PE license preferred
• 12+ years of experience in industrial mechanical system design, with a strong focus on process or facility-based projects. Experience in wastewater, biosolids, or similar process industries preferred
• Advanced proficiency in 3D CAD (e.g., NX or equivalent) and engineering design/documentation tools
• Strong expertise in mechanical engineering fundamentals (thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, heat transfer) applied to industrial systems
• Extensive experience with piping and equipment design, including P&IDs, layouts, and relevant codes/standards (e.g., ASME, GD&T)
• Experience designing and integrating facility-level systems (process piping, utilities, HVAC, and equipment installation)
• Proven ability to lead projects from concept through commissioning, including field execution and contractor coordination
• Familiarity with industrial/process environments such as wastewater treatment, thermal processing, or solids handling systems
• Strong understanding of safety, environmental compliance, and operating constraints in industrial facilities
• Effective project management, communication, and cross-functional collaboration skills in fast-paced environments
• Must have effective verbal and written communication skills in the English language

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

• Compensation range for this role is between $130,000 - 180,000 annually
• The range provided is Sedron's estimate of the base compensation for this role. Actual amount offered will be based on job-related and non-discriminatory factors such as experience, location, education, training, skills, and abilities.
• Discretionary bonus
