Providing the most advanced and capable autonomous vessels in the maritime domain. Backed by Bessemer, General Catalyst and Kleiner Perkins.
About the role
We are seeking a versatile Forward Deployed Mechanical Engineer to join our technical team. You will have a strong mechanical background and be responsible for bringing our technology from the lab to the fleet. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- 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)

We are seeking a versatile Forward Deployed Mechanical Engineer to join our technical team. You will have a strong mechanical background and be responsible for bringing our technology from the lab to the fleet.
This is not a traditional engineering role. You will be responsible for deploying our systems into the real world, directly supporting maritime missions. You will integrate mechanical payloads, debug complex system-level problems, and iterate hardware designs in the field to ensure success. This is a highly hands-on and field-oriented role with time split between the lab, fabrication spaces, and the waterfront.
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
