An ASTG system is a few hundred parts that have to fit, seal and hold under pressure for years. Mechanical Engineers design that: P&IDs, 3D models and BOMs, built to specification and to something the floor can actually assemble without a workaround.
We don't have a mechanical engineering vacancy open at this moment. We recruit for this role regularly at Engineer II and Senior level, so if this is your field we'd rather hear from you now than miss you later.
