Marine Mechanical Engineer
Posted Updated
Description
- We are seeking a Marine Mechanical Engineer to lead the design and integration of auxiliary and propulsion support systems for autonomous surface vessels
- This is a hands-on mechanical design role focused on fluid systems, machinery integration, and vessel-level mechanical architecture—not propulsion unit design itself. These systems must perform reliably in harsh, real-world maritime environments
- Fuel storage, transfer, and conditioning systems
- Seawater and freshwater cooling systems
- Ventilation and HVAC for machinery spaces
- Hydraulic systems and fluid power components
- Piping, valves, pumps, and fluid distribution networks
- Auxiliary machinery and below-deck mechanical integration
- Design and develop marine auxiliary systems from concept through production
- Create system layouts and machinery arrangements
- Perform system-level analyses
- Select and integrate components
- Develop and execute test plans
- Collaborate across engineering teams
- Support build and integration
- Analyze performance data and improve designs
- Troubleshoot and perform root-cause analysis
- Drive design-for-manufacturing decisions
- 2+ years designing mechanical or fluid systems
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Marine, or related field
- Experience with piping, cooling, fuel, HVAC, or hydraulics
- Strong fundamentals in fluid mechanics and thermodynamics
- Ability to perform first-principles calculations
- Experience with CAD tools
- Experience with CFD or thermal tools
- Experience with marine systems
- Familiarity with diesel support systems
- Experience with testing and integration
- Exposure to maritime standards
