Mechanical Engineer, Hardware Integration - Corsair

Saronic Technologies•Austin, TX

1d•Onsite

About The Position

Corsair is Saronic's 24ft autonomous surface vessel, built to carry modular payloads, operate in contested waters, and launch and recover with speed not seen before. Corsair is produced at scale in Austin, TX. Every sensor, module, payload, and harness has to fit, operate, survive extreme dynamic events, and be reconfigured in minutes when a technician meets it at the pier. That engineering problem is yours. You'll own how Corsair's subsystems physically come together from first prototype through a design that can be built at a rate that meets the extreme demands from our customers.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Aerospace, or related field
2+ years integrating mechanical and electrical systems
Experience with hardware packaging and subsystem integration
Proficiency in 3D CAD
Strong mechanical design fundamentals
Experience in prototype or production environments
Experience with electronics packaging or robotics systems
Familiarity with cable/harness design
Experience designing for harsh environments
Experience with maritime, aerospace, or defense systems
Strong cross-functional collaboration skills
Requires access to export-controlled information or items that require “U.S. Person” status.

Nice To Haves

Payload bays and mounts that let customers swap mission kits without a hull redesign
Sensor mounting and alignment that holds spec after thousands of hours of slam, vibration, and thermal cycling
Harness routing and cable management that survives hull flex and lets a technician trace a fault without pulling the deck
Structural interfaces between subsystems: brackets, bulkhead penetrations, and mounts that carry loads never seen by manned vessels
Access panels and serviceability, so field maintenance happens on the fly, not back at the factory
Internal layout and packaging that moves from prototype fit-up to a repeatable production build

Responsibilities

Design the mechanical integration for electronics, sensors, and payloads, and own the physical layout of the vehicle interior
Define mounting strategies and structural interfaces, with tolerance analysis to back them up
Develop harness routing and cable management alongside electrical engineering
Create CAD models, drawings, and integration documentation that production and field teams can build from
Drive design-for-manufacturing and design-for-service decisions as Corsair scales
Support prototype builds, open-water testing, and troubleshooting on the production floor and at test sites
Work daily with EE, autonomy, production, and test teams to close integration issues fast
