Contract type: Full time
Volund is building propulsion for America’s next industrial revolution.
We design propulsion systems for cost, agility, and scale, combining advanced automation, precision manufacturing, and rapid iteration to move from prototype to production at unprecedented speed.
Intelligent manufacturing is engineering at scale.
At Volund, engineers operate across the full stack, from concept and simulation to process code and machine execution, ensuring that what is designed can be built and what is built can be scaled.
Volund is looking for engineers to develop small gas turbine engines. Our goal is to provide energy dense designs that deliver performance according to program inputs. There are multiple engineering positions available, and we are seeking expertise in the field who can wear multiple hats in our dynamic development environment. The skills we are looking for range from designers to CFD and FEM analysts, from specialists in component analysis and their definition to engineers who directly develop and test hardware and everything in between. If you are interested in a challenging and exciting project and have experience in several of the areas described below, please feel free to apply. We are looking for those who want to contribute to the team and take ownership in getting the job done. At this time, we do not have any new grad or intern level roles open but check back in the future.
Range of Possible Responsibilities:
$200,000 - $250,000 USD
The salary range above is an estimate only with final amount being dependent on a wide variety of factors. All roles include a generous equity package and the following benefits:
