About Valo Valo is a hardware technology startup located in Alameda, CA. Our vision is to create a revolution in water mobility by leveraging hydrofoil technology. Electric hydrofoil craft offer a massive 15x efficiency improvement over conventional gas boats, while also greatly improving ride comfort and noise. We are starting by building a 2-person recreational product called the Valo Hyperfoil. You can read more about what we're building at our website: (link removed)/ About the work We are looking for a highly skilled and experienced mechanical engineer to assist our in-house team in designing metallic structural bracketry and moving linkage systems for our vehicle. These various structural brackets would be used for transferring load between the hydrofoil assemblies and main superstructure of the vehicle. Design will involve actuated moving linkages / joints. Exact specifics of the project to be shared during an initial screening / discussion call.There may be opportunities for ongoing contract engineering work. In general, the output of the work would be detailed 3D CAD models in solidworks native format, construction drawings that are ready for prototype mfg, and analysis results for the contracted components. Inputs would be requirements in form of interface definitions, space claim, and structural requirements. Skills / Requirements - Minimum of B.S. in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or equivalent. - 5+ years of industry experience - Strong 3D modelling skills - Familiarity designing with materials such as 5000 series aluminum and 316 stainless - Experience designing lightweight, strong metallic components that are structurally critical - Experience incorporating moving joints (bearings, etc.) Software requirements: - Solidworks - An FEA Simulation package Desired / recommended experience: - Knowledge of corrosion considerations in a marine environment (e.g., typical alloys, bearings, etc. used in salt water applications) - Experience working with electrically actuated kinematic systems involving rotary and linear motion. - Previous experience with designing components for vehicles (auto, aerospace, powersports, or maritime) - Strong communication skills - Has been involved in a full product development cycle for a complex hardware product - DFM/DFA experience - Fast, effective independent worker

Temporary project to assist in creating a new set of files to update an existing 19" Rack design. First, Update a panel drawing, create a silkscreen and assembly drawing for that panel. I have various PDF's, DWG's and STEP files to work with but recreation may be necessary. I'm located in League City but the project can be remote for the most part.

The project I need assistance with involves chain and sprockets as well as gears. It is only a small part of a larger project which I will need help with once I nail down the optimal design of this section. Hoping to find an Engineer that can get the answers I need at a reasonable price and in a timely fashion. The drawings I have are done in Powerpoint and, right now, I do not need any rendering or anything fancy, I just need the torque/force vectors and the energy output of the 4 sprockets, and one gear. Once that data is utlized I will need full drawings with animation as well as analysis of the materials and dimensions required to handle the loads. I have had issues with some Engineering software not being able to do chains and sprockets as easily as gears. If you cannot do chains and sprockets without spending a lot of time coaxing the software, let me know right away. I would like to send a Non-Disclosure, Non-Compete form and then send the two Powerpoint slides.
