About the role
Subcritical Systems, Inc. in Austin is hiring a hands-on mechanical engineer to design components for an advanced reactor facility and to apply first-principles methods across heat transfer, fluid flow, and structural dynamics. You'll drive tasks from requirements to commissioning, and ensure systems meet ASME piping and vessel codes. The role involves FEA in ANSYS, CAD in Siemens NX, and close collaboration with physicists, engineers, and tradespeople to deliver safe, robust energy solutions.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
