About the Role
As a Mechanical Engineer on the Maritime team, you will design and develop mechanical components for hardware products that operate in marine environments — from enclosures and mounting brackets to complete mechanical assemblies. You will be the owner of the mechanical design from initial concept all the way to manufacturing-ready production.
Responsibilities
- Produce technical drawings that follow industry standards (ISO/JIS/ANSI) for maritime hardware components.
- Quickly create preliminary sketches to explore and iterate on product concepts.
- Use AutoCAD and/or 3D CAD tools (SolidWorks, Fusion 360, Inventor) for mechanical design.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with hardware electrical, firmware, and product teams to ensure smooth mechanical integration.
- Conduct design reviews, tolerance analysis, and select materials suitable for marine conditions (anti-corrosion, IP-rated, etc.).
- Support prototyping, vendor selection, and the transition to mass production.
- Take full ownership of the quality, timeline, and delivery of the mechanical design.
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering / Industrial Engineering / Materials Engineering or related field.
- 2–3 years of experience as a Mechanical Design Engineer. Fresh graduates with strong portfolios (university projects, competitions, internships) are encouraged to apply.
- Proficient in AutoCAD (required) — able to produce clean 2D and 3D engineering drawings that follow standards.
- Able to create conceptual sketches quickly to support team discussions.
- Strong critical mindset — willing to challenge suboptimal designs and push back when necessary.
- Strong sense of ownership — fully accountable for output until the product ships.
- Familiar with manufacturing processes (machining, sheet metal, injection molding, casting).
- Able to design mechanical components and assemblies using 3D CAD.
- Able to develop and optimize designs to be ready for production processes.
- Understands and applies design-for-manufacturability (DFM) principles so components are practical to manufacture.
- Experienced in rapid prototyping (3D printing) and refining designs through testing and iteration.
- Able to select appropriate materials and manage tolerances, with a focus on lightweight and durable structures.
- Able to take a design from prototype to mass production, ensuring it is scalable and production-ready.
- Accustomed to documenting designs and iterating based on real-world test results.
- Working English proficiency (able to read technical documentation).
Nice to Have
- Experience in the maritime, marine electronics, IoT hardware, or automotive industries.
- Familiar with marine standards (IP67/IP68, salt-spray testing, marine-grade materials).
- Experience with simulation tools (FEA, thermal analysis).
- Hands-on experience with GA (General Arrangement) drawings or BOM management.
