Systems Engineer Application for Andros Innovations
We're solving the hardest problem in chemistry, and we can't do it alone. We're looking for scientist, engineers, builders, innovators and connectors to join our mission.
Location: Boston, MA | Type: Full-Time
The Mission At Andros, "Systems Engineering" means designing, fabricating and building engineered systems to advance our technology. It means taking a CAD model and turning it into something physical.
As a Systems Engineer, you are the Master Builder. You will work directly with the Senior Team to select components, assemble test stands, and pilot projects. You are the person who knows every tube, wire, and fitting in the lab.
What You Will Do
Detailed Design: Create and manage complex CAD assemblies (SolidWorks/Fusion 360) for reactors and test stands.
Build & Assembly: Source components (Swagelok, mass flow controllers, heaters) and physically assemble fluid and thermal systems.
Controls Hardware: Specify and wire sensors (TCs, pressure transducers) and actuators into our DAQ/PLC systems.
Troubleshooting: When the system leaks or a pump fails, you diagnose the root cause and fix it immediately.
Testing: Run validation protocols on new subsystems to ensure they meet thermal and pressure requirements.
Who You Are
BS/PhD in Mechanical, Chemical, or Engineering with 2+ years of hands-on hardware experience.
CAD Wizard: You can model a complex assembly and generate clean fabrication drawings for a machine shop.
Wrench Turner: You are comfortable with tube bending, VCR fittings, and basic electrical wiring. You prefer the shop floor to a desk.
Resourceful: You know how to creatively think of multiple options for a solution.
Data Driven: You don't just "think" it works; you prove it works.
Bonus Points
Experience with LabVIEW or Python for data acquisition.
Experience with PLCs, microcomputers, or light electrical automation.
Experience in a machine shop (mill/lathe) or with 3D printing for rapid prototyping.
About Andros Innovations
Andros Innovations is a pioneer in advanced chemical engineering, redefining the global ammonia supply chain to fuel a decarbonized future. Our proprietary reactor technology disrupts the century-old Haber-Bosch process, enabling the efficient production of low-carbon ammonia at low temperatures and atmospheric pressure, unlocking a scalable path to green fertilizer and sustainable marine fuel.
Supported by Activate.org, Greentown Labs, Third Derivative, Massachusetts Center for Clean Energy and others Andros has been recognized as a top emerging deep-tech startup within our first year. Andros has received awards from MIT’s Climate and Energy Prize, Yale’s Climate Innovation Summit, The University of Connecticut and FORGE, for innovation and climate impact. We are transitioning from breakthrough science to industrial scale, building the technology needed to feed the next billion people and power the heavy industries of tomorrow without emissions.
