Mechatronics Engineer, Subsea Vehicle

MOBY Robotics•Miami, FL

31d

About The Position

MOBY Robotics builds subsea vehicles for the deep ocean, one of the least explored environments on Earth. Our systems are designed to operate reliably under extreme pressure, far from support, where there is no room for failure. You will be responsible for the mechatronic design of our subsea vehicle, from concept through sea trials. You will integrate mechanical, electrical, and software systems, and work closely with our engineering team to deliver hardware that performs in the field.

Requirements

Several years of experience building systems that had to work outside a lab (robotics, aerospace, automotive, marine, industrial, or similar)
Strong engineering judgment: you can tell what matters from what doesn’t, and you know why something will fail before it does
Fluent across mechanical design, electronics, and embedded software, and deep in at least one of them
Comfortable with CAD and with hands-on fabrication and testing
Owned a system end to end and can show what you built
Driven by the problem and want a lot of ownership

Nice To Haves

Subsea or other extreme-environment experience (pressure, corrosion, sealing, field operations)
Experience with actuators, motor control, or power systems
Time spent at sea, in the field, or on competition teams

Responsibilities

Architect and integrate the vehicle’s electromechanical systems, from actuation and power to sensing and control
Take designs from sketch to CAD to prototype to something that survives the bench, the tank, and the sea
Work directly with software and autonomy engineers so the hardware and the code are designed together
Bring up new hardware, debug it, and find the real root cause
Run tests, interpret what they tell you, and iterate quickly
Go out on deployments and see your work operate at sea
