Mechanical Engineer (Hardware Integration, Corsair)
Posted Updated
Description
- That engineering problem is yours. You’ll own how Corsair’s subsystems physically come together from first prototype through a design that can be built at a rate that meets the extreme demands from our customers
- Your hardware hits the water fast. Designs you release go onto a boat and into open-water testing within weeks, not quarters
- You own the design inside the hull. This isn’t one bracket on a 40-person team. You set the layout, mounting, harnessing, and serviceability strategy for the vehicle’s interior
- Corsair is a high-volume platform. We have built over 400 in 18 months, so every design-for-manufacturing call you make compounds across the fleet and the production line
- Payload bays and mounts that let customers swap mission kits without a hull redesign
- Sensor mounting and alignment that holds spec after thousands of hours of slam, vibration, and thermal cycling
- Harness routing and cable management that survives hull flex and lets a technician trace a fault without pulling the deck
- Structural interfaces between subsystems: brackets, bulkhead penetrations, and mounts that carry loads never seen by manned vessels
- Access panels and serviceability, so field maintenance happens on the fly, not back at the factory
- Internal layout and packaging that moves from prototype fit-up to a repeatable production build
- Design the mechanical integration for electronics, sensors, and payloads, and own the physical layout of the vehicle interior
- Define mounting strategies and structural interfaces, with tolerance analysis to back them up
- Develop harness routing and cable management alongside electrical engineering
- Create CAD models, drawings, and integration documentation that production and field teams can build from
- Drive design-for-manufacturing and design-for-service decisions as Corsair scales
- Support prototype builds, open-water testing, and troubleshooting on the production floor and at test sites
- Work daily with EE, autonomy, production, and test teams to close integration issues fast
- Proficiency in 3D CAD
- Experience in prototype or production environments
- Strong cross-functional collaboration skills
- Familiarity with cable/harness design
- Experience designing for harsh environments
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Aerospace, or related field
- Experience with maritime, aerospace, or defense systems
- Strong mechanical design fundamentals
- 2+ years integrating mechanical and electrical systems
- Experience with electronics packaging or robotics systems
- Experience with hardware packaging and subsystem integration
- Lifting and carrying items up to 20 pounds occasionally (e.g., office supplies, packages)
- Occasional standing and walking within the office
- Manual dexterity to operate a computer keyboard, mouse, and other office equipment
- Prolonged periods of sitting at a desk and working on a computer
- Visual acuity to read screens, documents, and reports
- Occasional reaching, bending, or stooping to access file drawers, cabinets, or office supplies
