Senior Mechanical Design Engineer with a passion for innovation, problem-solving and next-generation product development. The ideal candidate will bring strong analytical and technical design skills, with a proven track record in the design of high-performance, dynamic electromechanical systems subjected to continuous movement, complex structural loading and wide-ranging environmental conditions. Expertise in precision mechanism design, advanced structural and thermal analysis and optimization for rapid field deployment is essential. This role offers the opportunity to lead complex R&D; initiatives while working collaboratively within a fast-paced, multidisciplinary engineering team to bring complex mobile systems from concept to field operations.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

- Design and develop complex, high-reliability mechanical components, cable-driven or rail-mounted guidance mechanisms and multi-axis stabilized systems.
- Design ruggedized, IP65/IP68-rated and pressure-sealed enclosures capable of operating reliably in harsh, wet, or fully submerged environments.
- Conduct rigorous static and dynamic load analysis, structural optimization and thermal expansion/contraction studies to ensure system stability under high-velocity or variable-temperature operations.
- Optimize mechanical designs for ergonomics, portability and rapid, tool-less rigging and derigging in time-critical field environments.
- Create precise 3D CAD models and detailed technical drawings using industry-standard CAD tools, ensuring strict compliance with manufacturing and safety standards.
- Lead prototyping efforts and select optimal materials (e.g., advanced alloys, composites) to balance structural strength, weight minimization, corrosion resistance and thermal stability.
- Collaborate closely with electronics, robotics and software engineering teams to ensure seamless integration of drive systems,



slip rings, sensors and payload stabilization components.
- Oversee comprehensive environmental, structural and operational testing. Prepare detailed documentation for manufacturing, assembly, field deployment procedures and quality assurance.

Desired Skill and Competencies Sets

- Strong expertise in precision mechanical design, including multi-axis gimbals, dynamic seals (O-rings, rotary seals), pressure vessels and ruggedized enclosures for harsh environments.
- Deep understanding of structural mechanics with hands-on experience in Finite Element Analysis (FEA) for static/dynamic loading, vibration isolation, fatigue life and thermal expansion studies.
- Strong knowledge of Design for Manufacturing, Assembly and Field Operationsspecifically designing for quick-connect mechanisms, modularity and high-vibration environments.
- Proficiency in 3D CAD modeling (e.g., SolidWorks, Creo) and advanced tolerance stack-up analysis. Expert knowledge of GD&T; (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing) and industry technical drawing standards (ASME, ISO).
- In-depth knowledge of metallurgy, high strength/lightweight composites, anodization and anti-corrosion treatments for outdoor and underwater exposure.
- Practical experience with diverse manufacturing processes including CNC machining, sheet metal fabrication, carbon fiber molding and additive manufacturing.
- A strong mindset for troubleshooting complex kinetic, structural and thermal challenges in high-performance applications.
- Focus on the end-user experience, ensuring equipment is intuitive, safe and effective to deploy under tight schedules.
- Excellent interpersonal skills to effectively bridge mechanical requirements with electronics, software and field operational teams.
- Proven ability to manage timelines, prioritize safety-critical tasks and adapt quickly in a fast-paced, research-driven product development environment.
