Mechanical Engineer, Vehicles

Blue Robotics specializes in the design and manufacture of components and vehicles for marine robotics. Our mission is to enable the future of underwater exploration by providing high-performing vehicles and components at an affordable price. We are driven by a passion for exploration and a desire to make advanced marine technology accessible to everyone.

We are seeking a skilled, motivated, and highly curious mechanical engineer to join our multidisciplinary vehicle development team. You will be responsible for developing the mechanical systems that enable our vehicles to effectively navigate, observe, and interact with the marine environment. In this role, you will lead the design, test, and launch of a wide range of subsystems that will power our future subsea and surface vehicles.

Responsibilites

• Design new and complex mechanical assemblies, including pressure-rated enclosures, brushless motors, battery modules, connectors, lights, electronics trays, and vehicle frames
• End-to-end ownership of mechanical design from the ground up – from requirements to design, prototype, validation, and manufacturing at volume
• Collaborate with electrical, software, manufacturing, and customer support teams to successfully design, validate, manufacture, and support mechanical subsystems throughout their life cycle
• Evaluate system failure modes, create and drive integration and validation plans and support the execution of these plans
• Component and vehicle-level testing for performance, durability, reliability, and variability
• Find, communicate with, and build relationships with new suppliers
• Influence and drive the direction of our mechanical subsystems in multidisciplinary and cross-departmental discussions

Basic Qualifications:

• Track record of in-depth mechanical and electromechanical product development in a production environment
• Minimum Bachelor of Science in an engineering-related field
• Ability to excel in fast-paced and challenging environments
• Demonstrated strong creative thinking and problem-solving; ability to deep-dive and use first principles thinking to solve complex engineering challenge
• Familiarity with GD&T and stackup analysis
• Experience with an FEA simulation tool (ANSYS, Solidworks Simulation, etc)
• Familiarity with designing parts for machining, casting, and injection molding
• Strong fundamental understanding of engineering materials and processes (high performance alloys, plastics, adhesives, heat treatments, surface treatments, etc)
• Deep expertise with 3D modeling and drafting of components and assemblies (in Solidworks, NX, CATIA, Inventor, Fusion, etc)

Preferred Qualifications:

• Wire harness or connector design experience
• Electromagnetic design experience
• Experience with mechanical sealing
• Experience with microcontroller, single-board computers, or PCB design
• Experience with Matlab, Python, C, or other programming languages
• Any experience in rotating machine design, including electric motors

Benefits:

• RRSP contribution plan with 4% matching after 6 months
• Educational reimbursement program
• Flexible vacation and paid holidays
• Paid parental leave
