Full Job Description
About the Role We're looking for a Senior Mechanical Engineer to join our Hardware Engineering team. The role is mechanical first: you'll also work with electrical systems, but mainly through integration and interfaces. You'll support new system development, payload integration and subsystem design for our uncrewed surface vessels. You'll work closely with electrical and software engineers to deliver hardware that is robust, manufacturable and ready for the field.
The ideal candidate is highly skilled in mechanical design and CAD and has taken complex mechanical systems from concept through production. You're comfortable working with electrical engineers to define interfaces, routing and packaging, without being the primary electrical designer.
Key Responsibilities and Requirements
System Development & Architecture: Lead and contribute to the mechanical design and integration of new systems and payloads, including structures, enclosures, mounts and overall system packaging. Support electrical integration by defining mechanical interfaces, routing paths and mounting solutions.
Mechanical Design: Create detailed SolidWorks models, assemblies and drawings for structures, housings, brackets, mounts and mechanisms built for marine environments.
Electrical Interface Support: Work with electrical engineers to integrate wiring harnesses, connectors and electronic subsystems. Read electrical schematics as needed and own the mechanical side of cable routing, strain relief, connector mounting and environmental protection.
Integration & Testing: Take part in hardware builds, subsystem and bench testing, vehicle integration and troubleshooting to validate designs and make sure they perform reliably in real operating conditions.
Cross-Disciplinary Collaboration: Work closely with mechanical, electrical and software engineers to specify, design, build, test and integrate mechanical subsystems and electromechanical components such as actuators, motors and power distribution hardware.
Documentation: Produce and maintain accurate CAD drawings, bills of materials, interface control documents (ICDs), test results and configuration management records.
Manufacturing & Production Support: Partner with technicians and manufacturing teams to make sure designs are manufacturable, cost-effective, serviceable and built for rugged marine environments.
Qualifications
3+ years of experience in mechanical engineering design and system integration
Strong proficiency in SolidWorks for modeling and drafting
Solid understanding of mechanical systems, materials, tolerances and structural design
Enough familiarity with electrical systems to support integration, such as connectors, harness routing, grounding and environmental sealing
Hands-on experience prototyping, assembling, testing and troubleshooting mechanical and electromechanical systems
Experience on cross-functional engineering teams, integrating subsystems into complete platforms
Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a closely related field
U.S. citizenship and eligibility for a Secret security clearance
Able to work onsite at our North Kingstown, RI office at least 3 days per week
Preferred Skills
Payload integration experience on uncrewed vehicle systems, especially maritime or aerospace platforms
Familiarity with the mechanical side of harness routing, connectorization and enclosure design
Knowledge of thermal management, sealing, vibration and shock for embedded hardware
Experience with design for manufacturability (DFM) and ruggedized or marine systems
Strong troubleshooting, root cause analysis and field-support mindset
Experience with additive manufacturing
Benefits:
100% Employer paid Health Insurance
Dental and Vision Insurance for you and your families
Life Insurance (Employer Paid)
Ability to participate in the companies 401k program (Matching)
Unlimited PTO policy with an enforced 2 week minimum
