Mechanical Design Engineer I or II

We are seeking a Mechanical Design Engineer to join our team in designing a marine robot to clean and inspect ships, even while in transit. This robot must operate in a challenging flow and corrosion environment, requiring rigorous and creative design solutions with high reliability.
US work authorization is a precondition of employment. The company will not consider candidates who require sponsorship for a work-authorized visa, now or in the future.
Job Responsibilities:

• Design of structures and mechanisms as needed for the robot and its ancillary devices.
• Procuring hardware and designing tooling for the same as needed to realize their designs.
• Work with a multi-disciplinary team of mechanical and electrical engineers to integrate GNC requirements with vehicle hardware.
• Have an active role in the hiring process as the team grows and hires more mechanical engineers.

Required Qualifications:

• Experience with hardware design, fabrication, and assembly.
• Experience in mechanical analysis, analytic and Finite Element Method (FEM/FEA).
• Proficiency in Computed Aided Design (CAD) software (e.g. Solidworks, CATIA, Siemens NX).
• Able to start full time ASAP.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience in robotic hardware design.
• Experience in non-linear Finite Element Modeling (e.g. ANSYS, ABAQUS).
• Experience in CNC machining and other common manufacturing methods.
• Knowledge of GD&T methods and practices.
• Experience in hardware sourcing and procurement.
• 2-5 years’ work experience in jobs related to mechanical engineering, OR 2+ years of practical experience on a student build team (FSAE Driverless, Rocketry, etc.).
• 4-year degree in engineering or equivalent, or a senior on track to graduate in May/June 2024 with the same.
