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 highly skilled Opto-Mechanical Engineer to lead the design, integration, and qualification of imaging systems aboard our Autonomous Service Vessels. This role bridges optics, mechanics, and environmental constraints by developing ruggedized camera enclosures, mounting systems, and sensor integration strategies that perform in harsh maritime conditions. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Bachelor's degree or greater in Mechanical Engineering, Optical Engineering, or related field
- 2+ years of experience designing optomechanical systems or camera integration in rugged environments
- Proficiency in CAD software (e.g., SolidWorks, Creo) and mechanical analysis tools (FEA, thermal modeling)
- Proficiency in producing detailed engineering drawings for prototyping and manufacturing
- Proficiency with optical principles, including alignment, lens selection, MTF, and FOV constraints
- Experience with environmental sealing (IP67+), thermal management, and vibration isolation
