5+ years of experience working on high performance and/or high volume parts in a team environment
A high degree of individual autonomy and a get-stuff-done attitude
Expertise in Solidworks
A deep understanding of mechanical engineering, structures, assembly and DFM trade offs, and fabrication methods
Maritime background from extensive work and/or play on and around the ocean
An understanding of how different manufacturing processes (i.e. CNC milling, 3D printing, waterjet, etc.) affect design
Experience working in smaller mechanical engineering teams
The ability to take a napkin sketch, create a first draft CAD model, receive feedback from the team and proceed iteratively
Experience with outsourcing parts to external vendors/fabricators
Communication skills – with vendors and internal team
Organizational skills – tracking BOMs, following up with suppliers etc.
Attention to detail – understanding of GD&T, creating drawings for suppliers, etc.
Experience in startups, competitions, or similarly tight-timeline settings
Basic understanding of electrical and software needs for electro‑mechanical systems
Experience with combustion engines
Bonus
Experience with hybrid power systems
An understanding of basic naval architecture
Basic understanding of composites
About Seasats At Seasats, we're passionate about delivering maritime robotics solutions to redefine the maritime industry. Our primary products are autonomous surface vehicles (ASVs), designed to carry sensors at sea for months at a time. Our ASVs provide persistent monitoring and data acquisition to defense, scientific, and commercial customers, and have autonomously crossed both the Pacific and Atlantic oceans. After thousands of years in which the only way to gather information from the ocean was to put people on a boat, these uncrewed vessels are transforming how humanity monitors and interacts with the ocean. Here, you’ll find the space and opportunity to do your life’s best work.
Benefits
Competitive insurance (including a 99% employer-covered Gold HMO plan or other options)
401k matching up to 4% of salary
Four free lunches per week
An employee activity fund
A pet-friendly office
Unlimited/Flex PTO
Hiring Notes When applying, you’ll be asked to provide a resume and answer a few screening questions.
Please note that we are currently unable to sponsor employment visas, so candidates must be independently authorized to work in the United States.
We appreciate diverse perspectives and life experiences, and we’re committed to building a team that reflects a wide range of backgrounds. Seasats provides equal employment opportunities to all employees and applicants for employment and prohibits discrimination of any type based on race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy, sexual orientation, or gender identity), national origin, age, disability, genetic information, marital status, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected under federal, state, or local law.
