Mechanical Engineer - Build
About The Position
Own the full mechanical build of our Poseidon robotic systems from start to finish. Develop new processes for new production required by new product development. Assemble, integrate, and debug electro-mechanical subsystems including actuators, motors, PCBs, plumbing, and structural assemblies. Identify design issues during build and work directly with the design team to implement improvements. Build fixtures, tools, and processes that make each unit faster and more reliable to assemble. Diagnose failures quickly through teardown, root-cause analysis, and hands-on testing. Ensure every Poseidon unit meets quality, fit, alignment, and performance standards before deployment. Collaborate with technicians and engineers to improve the repeatability of every subsystem. Maintain build documentation, assembly procedures, and checklists as systems evolve. Help plan and execute the build infrastructure and processes needed to triple robot production in 2026. Work closely with design engineers to influence new revisions based on real build-floor feedback.
Requirements
- 1+ years of hands-on experience assembling or building electro-mechanical hardware
- Ability to read and produce CAD models, mechanical drawings, and specifications
- Strong mechanical intuition with the ability to diagnose issues and propose fixes quickly
- High proficiency with power tools, hand tools, and standard shop equipment
- Comfortable owning tasks independently and driving work to completion
- Strong communication skills and the ability to work closely with design engineers and technicians
- Experience with build documentation or writing clear assembly instructions
- Willingness to travel occasionally to fishing sites and work with the field engineering team on a dock or boat
Nice To Haves
- Fixtures or tooling design experience
- Experience with automation, robotics, or motion systems
- Familiarity with Siemens NX or similar CAD software
- Experience with fluid systems, alignment procedures, or precision mechanical assemblies
