Responsibilities
- 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
Qualifications Required
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Marine, or related field
- 2+ years designing mechanical or fluid systems
- Strong fundamentals in fluid mechanics and thermodynamics
- Experience with piping, cooling, fuel, HVAC, or hydraulics
- Ability to perform first-principles calculations
- Experience with CAD tools
Preferred
- Experience with marine systems
- Familiarity with diesel support systems
- Experience with testing and integration
- Experience with CFD or thermal tools
- Exposure to maritime standards
Benefits

- Parental Leave: Paid maternity and paternity leave to support new parents
- Competitive Salary: Industry-standard salaries with opportunities for performance-based bonuses
- Retirement Plan: 401(k) plan
- Stock Options: Equity options to give employees a stake in the company’s success
- Life and Disability Insurance: Basic life insurance and short- and long-term disability coverage
- Additional Perks: Free lunch benefit and unlimited free drinks and snacks in the office
Physical Demands
- Prolonged periods of sitting at a desk and working on a computer
- Occasional standing and walking within the office
- Manual dexterity to operate a computer keyboard, mouse, and other office equipment
- Visual acuity to read screens, documents, and reports
- Occasional reaching, bending, or stooping to access file drawers, cabinets, or office supplies
