About the role
- The next Mechanical Engineer on our Undersea Reconnaissance & Strike team will join a small, high-output mechanical engineering group supporting multiple vehicle variants through rapid prototyping and into rate production.
- Support the full product lifecycle from early prototype through rate production - you'll be involved from system requirements and initial design iterations through manufacturing and delivery, not just one phase.
Responsibilities
- Support the full product lifecycle from early prototype through rate production - you'll be involved from system requirements and initial design iterations through manufacturing and delivery, not just one phase
- Drive DFM into every decision - developing low-cost, producible designs that can scale from prototype quantities to rate production
- Navigate a dynamic solutions trade space that incorporates external constraints, evolving requirements, timeline considerations, and quality in a multi-stakeholder environment
- Contribute as a member of a multi-disciplinary integrated product team, providing a new perspective to teammates of various backgrounds and experiences
- Critically assess mechanical solutions for their value to the end user, cost and ease to manufacture, time to deliver, reliability, reusability across various product lines, and iterability
- Make practical engineering trade-offs - we value judgment and momentum over analysis paralysis
- Interact with end-users to deeply understand their needs and incorporate feedback into your technical solutions
- Support integration and test activities
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Robotics, Mechatronics, a relevant field, or equivalent experience
- 7+ years of professional experience working as a Mechanical or Mechatronics Engineer
- Demonstrated experience taking a design from concept through multiple iterations into a manufactured product - not just analysis, but actually building and shipping hardware
- Capacity to work holistically on complex electromechanical systems across design, implementation, operation and sustainment
- Capacity learn and grow individually, building team cohesion and capacity
- Comfort working through ambiguity - priorities shift, vehicle variants evolve, and you'll need to find your own rhythm in a fast-moving environment
- Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. security clearance
Preferred qualifications
- Experience in subsea, maritime, or autonomous underwater vehicle development
- Experience in aviation, robotics, or consumer products hardware - especially if you can translate those skills to undersea systems
- Experience with design, manufacturing processes including machining, sheet metal, injection molding, composites, and/or additive manufacturing
- Exposure to design-for-manufacturing principles and rate production environments
Benefits
- Highly competitive equity grants included in the majority of full time offers
- Top-tier benefits for full-time employees supporting health, recovery, and whatever comes next
