Mechanical Analyst Engineer

Thanks for your interest in Oklo! We are searching for a passionate, highly analytical, and detail-oriented Mechanical Analyst Engineer to join our engineering team. ### Specific responsibilities may include:

• Perform rigorous mechanical analyses across all levels of fidelity, from hand calculations and textbook formulas to highly detailed Finite Element Analysis (FEA)
• Evaluate structural performance for stress, creep, fatigue, vibration, temperature limits, and other failure modes
• Interpret and apply relevant engineering standards and codes (e.g., ASME, ASCE, AISC) to establish appropriate design limits and acceptance criteria
• Develop clear, concise, and technically sound documentation of engineering methodologies, analysis results, and design justifications
• Summarize mechanical analysis results in written documents and presentation slides, translating complex data into concise summaries of key findings (e.g., peak stresses, safety margins) and actionable design revision recommendations, and present those results to management and various stakeholders
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including design, manufacturing, quality, and test engineering to drive design decisions and ensure robust product development
• Support the creation and refinement of product requirements
• Plan and execute validation and verification activities, including designing and overseeing physical test programs to validate engineering assumptions and design requirements

Minimum Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s or higher degree in a relevant engineering discipline (e.g., mechanical, aerospace, materials)
• 4+ years of industry experience performing mechanical or structural analysis within sectors such as energy, aerospace, automotive, defense, industrial machinery, or advanced manufacturing
• Proven experience in structural analysis using FEA tools (e.g., Ansys, Abaqus, COMSOL)
• Demonstrated ability to write comprehensive technical documentation and reports
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills in a multidisciplinary engineering environment
