• Design and develop mechanical components and systems for RIFT installations

• Perform engineering calculations and simulations

• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams and external partners to improve processes

• Contribute to optimizing and standardizing existing designs

Why you bring as Mechanical Engineer

• 3–7 years of experience as a Mechanical Engineer in the process industry, such as chemicals, energy, oil & gas, or similar sectors

• Experience with 3D CAD software, preferably SolidWorks

• Knowledge of mechanical design principles and relevant standards

• Strong communication skills and a team-oriented mindset

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field

• Passion for sustainability and interest in innovative energy solutions

What we offer

• A role with direct impact on the energy transition and cutting-edge technology.

• Collaboration with a multidisciplinary team of passionate engineers.

• Opportunities to further develop you skills and grow within RIFT.

• A working environment where quality, safety and innovation are central.

Why RIFT?

RIFT is building a future of CO₂-free industrial energy. With our Iron Fuel Technology, we use iron powder as a circular energy carrier. By converting rust back into iron using renewable electricity, a closed-loop energy cycle is created with zero CO₂ emissions. Our team combines expertise in process engineering, combustion technology, mechanical design, and industrial scale-up. Together, we are building the next generation of energy solutions for energy-intensive industries.

Do you want to apply your skills and experience to realize mechanical designs that take our Iron Fuel Technology to the next level? Join RIFT and help shape the future of fossil-free industrial energy.
