Description

Position Overview:

This role is ideal for an engineer who thrives in a team environment and can guide complex mechanical solutions from concept through fleet deployment.

Primary Responsibilities:

Develop shipboard mechanical hardware designs including enclosures, ruggedized COTS solutions, and electromechanical assemblies. Develop 3D models and engineering documentation. Coordinate mechanical interfaces between engineering and manufacturing teams
