Versatile Forward Deployed Mechanical Engineer responsible for deploying and integrating mechanical systems in maritime autonomous platforms.
Обязанности
- Design systems to support mechanical integration of novel systems and payloads onto our Autonomous Service Vessels (ASVs) and maritime platforms
- Lead rapid prototyping efforts (mechanical) to support field experimentation and platform evolution
- Perform mechanical bring-up, integration, and troubleshooting of structural, sensor-mount, and payload subsystems
- Own dockside and sea trials — prepare vessels, install new mechanical hardware packages, and perform system validation in operationally relevant environments
- Drive design-for-assembly and design-for-deployment feedback into mechanical product development
- Work closely with cross-functional teams, including Electrical, Software, and Autonomy Engineers, to evolve and harden system designs
- Interface with suppliers and fabrication shops to support fast turnarounds of custom mechanical components
- Contribute to documentation and training to support the scaling of deployment and manufacturing
Требования
- Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field. Master's degree is a plus
- 3+ years of experience working on integrated mechanical/electromechanical systems, preferably in fielded or mission-critical environments
- Hands-on expertise in mechanical assembly and fabrication (CNC, sheet metal, 3D printing, etc.)
- Hands-on expertise in rapid prototyping and system-level debugging
- Proficiency with FEA (static, modal/vibration, and shock) to validate designed parts and mounts, and the judgment to know when hand calcs are enough
- Experience designing electrical enclosures and housings with thermal management and ingress protection (IP67+, sealing, venting, connector selection)
- Strong understanding of materials and corrosion in marine environments, including dissimilar-metal isolation, coatings, and fastener selection
- Experience designing sensor and payload mounts for ruggedized environments, including structural brackets, masts, and isolators
- Comfort working with CAD (SolidWorks, NX, or similar) and field integration setups
- Experience working with a Linux-based operating system
- Willingness to work in dynamic, hands-on environments, including on and near the water
- Strong sense of ownership and bias for action; thrives solving open-ended problems in real-world environments
- Experience with autonomous systems, drones, or other robotic platforms preferred
- Familiarity with maritime environments or naval platforms preferred
- Exposure to ruggedized or IP-rated hardware design preferred
