Responsibilities

• Working across mechanical, electrical, thermal, and manufacturing domains
• Understanding how assemblies, subsystems, and components interact as part of a larger integrated vehicle.
• Driving execution across suppliers, shipyards, manufacturing partners, and internal cross-functional teams.
• Owning the design and integration of complex electromechanical systems across the vehicle lifecycle, from concept through production
• Driving requirements definition, specifications, CAD design, hands-on prototyping, analysis (FEA, numerical modeling, hand calculations), validation, and production support
• Designing with manufacturability, serviceability, reliability, and real-world operating conditions in mind
• Building, testing, troubleshooting, and iterating on hardware in fast-moving development environments
• Supporting sea trials and in-field validation to verify system performance and resolve real-world issues
• Working closely with component suppliers, partner shipyards, manufacturing teams, and vessel operators to drive execution
• Traveling occasionally (~15%) to support testing, validation, suppliers, and field operations
