• Improve powder flow, dust control, material transfer efficiency, and overall system reliability

• Design, upgrade, and maintain custom powder filling systems for pressurized cylinders
• Develop and refine piping, valves, and other mechanical assemblies
• Engineer solutions to improve powder movement, accuracy, and flow across the entire filling process

• Serve as the primary technical expert for all powder-related mechanical systems
• Work closely with the COO on special projects and long term engineering strategy
• Collaborate with a small engineering team (2 Mechanical Engineers & 1 Electrical Engineer)
• Troubleshoot complex mechanical issues related to powder handling and pressurized filling equipment
• Apply LEAN, Kaizen, and other process‑efficiency methodologies to drive operational improvement
• Increase uptime, enhance safety, improve material flow, and optimize system performance
