East Falmouth, MA (ON-SITE/OFFICE)
We’re looking for an experienced Mechanical Engineer with experience in ocean-based operations. The initial focus is on acoustics but will quickly expand to other modalities as well as to mobile systems. Responsibilities
Serve as the lead mechanical engineer in a growing team, requiring proficiency across multiple disciplines:

Mechanical Design:

Create and document mechanical systems using both analytical methods and engineering intuition. Optimize performance, reliability, cost, and compliance with technical requirements.

Maritime & Submerged Systems:

Design operator-focused systems built for durability and performance in maritime and underwater environments.

CAD & Documentation:

Produce mechanical CAD models, technical drawings, and maintaining version control and supporting documentation.

Manufacturing Process Selection:

Choose suitable manufacturing methods, prepare fabrication documentation, and refine designs for production.

Additive Manufacturing:

Design for 3D printing, optimize part geometry and strength, and define testing protocols for printed components.

Prototype Fabrication:

Build early-stage parts using various fabrication methods and support technicians as needed during peak demand.

Prototyping & Troubleshooting:

Assemble and evaluate functional prototypes, identify issues, and contribute to early production builds.

Manufacturing Handoff:

Develop process documentation and tooling to transition designs to scalable production by technicians.

Operational Testing:

Participate in bench and field testing of prototypes, including deployment in marine environments.

Design Feedback Integration:

Collaborate closely with assembly and field teams to incorporate real-world feedback into design iterations, enhancing system effectiveness and efficiency. Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Naval Architecture, or a related field, with at least 5+ years of relevant professional experience (or 10+ years of highly applicable experience, including a minimum of 5 years in a design-focused role).
• Must have an active Secret security clearance and able to obtain a TS/SCI
• Experience designing for challenging operational environments, preferably involving exposure to marine or remote field conditions.
• Proficiency with standard mechanical engineering tools and workflows. SolidWorks experience is a plus, but not required if you can transition quickly.
• Strong hands-on skills in prototyping, testing, and iterating on mechanical designs—both in controlled settings and in dynamic, real-world environments.
• Effective written and verbal communication skills suited to fast-paced, collaborative engineering teams.
• Physically able to participate in field deployments, including tasks such as lifting, maneuvering in tight spaces, and performing fine manual work aboard small vessels. Desired Qualifications
• Experience operating in dynamic, field-based environments, particularly those involving small crafts or mobile platforms.
• Familiarity with uncrewed systems, such as aerial platforms or remote vehicles, is a plus but secondary to field experience in aquatic or offshore contexts.
