About the Role
As our team continues to grow, we are looking for motivated candidates inspired to work within an extremely energetic, creative, and innovative team that is passionate about subsea robotics and exploring the open ocean. We work in a highly dynamic environment where collaboration and idea sharing are a way of life. We are seeking a Mechanical Design Engineer to join our Manufacturing Engineer Team, working in a cutting‐edge start‐up environment to advance the state of the possible in factory, equipment, and process execution. This is an ideal role for an individual with broad experience and passion for mechanical design and design for manufacturing. The ideal candidate will seek continuous improvement opportunities in both the physical and data space, gaining broad experience within an advanced production environment by designing production fixtures to help technicians execute build processes efficiently and by working closely with manufacturing and design engineers to improve product manufacturability.
What You'll Do
* Own the physical design, prototyping, and fabrication of production equipment.
* Develop novel tooling solutions for fabrication and assembly of structural parts.
* Perform detailed mechanical designs, including 3D modelling and 2D drawing creation using NX while adhering to engineering standards.
* Select appropriate materials (metals, polymers, composites) based on mechanical properties, environmental conditions (including marine/corrosive environments), cost constraints, and manufacturing processes.
* Execute engineering calculations from first principles (e.g., lifting analysis, beam/hook loading, centre of gravity calculations).
* Perform FEA simulations to validate structural and dynamic performance of mechanical components before prototyping.
* Use FEA results to optimize designs for weight, cost, and manufacturability (DFM).
* Design and develop mechanical test equipment, including factory acceptance testing in a submerged environment.
* Effectively coordinate your effort to support the production team with mechanical design of fixtures/equipment, acting as a subject‐matter expert in DFM/DFA reviews.
* Select and manage suppliers, ensuring timelines and costs are met.
* Oversee physical assembly and commissioning of designed systems.
* Diagnose and resolve production issues promptly, including equipment malfunctions and process deviations.
* Support the broader production team by creating and maintaining designs in our PLM (Teamcenter).
* Ensure all processes adhere to safety regulations and company policies.
* Design manufacturing jigs and fixtures, capturing design updates, modifications, and improvements to existing manufacturing equipment and aids (including load testing requirements and prescriptions).
Required Qualifications
* BS, M.Eng, or MS in Mechanical Engineering or a related field.
* Professional experience working as a Mechanical Engineer with one or more domains and/or technologies of expertise.
* 5+ years of experience in a relevant engineering field, preferably mechanical design for manufacturing.
* Demonstrated ability to manage projects from concept to completion.
* Strong skills in NX for 3D modelling and 2D drawing creation.
* Proficiency with FEA in NX, FEMAP, or ANSYS.
* Personal experience with physical assembly and commissioning.
* Proficiency in engineering calculations and material selection.
* Proficiency with engineering standards and GD&T.
* Ability to manage suppliers and project timelines effectively.
* Ability to obtain and maintain an Australian NV2 Security clearance.
Preferred Qualifications
* Experience with NX/Teamcenter.
* Experience in the design and development of tooling, jigs, and fixtures.
* Experience in production support within an advanced manufacturing organization.
* Understanding of load testing and prescription for mechanical fixtures.
* Knowledge of corrosion prevention techniques.
