Mechanical Engineer

HavocAI•North Kingstown, RI

33d•$125,000 - $150,000•Hybrid

About The Position

Havoc is seeking a Senior Mechanical Engineer to join their Hardware Engineering team. This role is primarily focused on mechanical design, with involvement in electrical systems through integration and interfaces. The engineer will support new system development, payload integration, and subsystem design for uncrewed surface vessels. Collaboration with electrical and software engineers is key to delivering robust, manufacturable hardware ready for field deployment. The ideal candidate will have strong mechanical design and CAD skills, with experience taking complex mechanical systems from concept to production, and be comfortable defining electrical interfaces, routing, and packaging.

Requirements

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

Nice To Haves

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

Responsibilities

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.
Create detailed SolidWorks models, assemblies and drawings for structures, housings, brackets, mounts and mechanisms built for marine environments.
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.
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.
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.
Produce and maintain accurate CAD drawings, bills of materials, interface control documents (ICDs), test results and configuration management records.
Partner with technicians and manufacturing teams to make sure designs are manufacturable, cost-effective, serviceable and built for rugged marine environments.
