# Mechanical Engineer I - Electrical Packaging & Structures

We are an early-stage, maritime defense technology startup backed by top tier investors. Our team is designing and building autonomous and highly producible ships that can serve multiple missions on the open ocean. Role Summary We’re seeking a Mechanical Engineer to support electronics packaging and structural design across our vehicle power system. You will work at the intersection of mechanical design, electrical integration, and manufacturing-helping take hardware from early layouts through detailed design, release, build, and test. The work emphasizes robust packaging for harsh environments (thermal, vibration, shock, EMI/EMC constraints), along with practical, producible structural design. What You’ll Do Design and iterate electronics packaging: structural frames, enclosures, trays, brackets, stiffeners, mounts, cable/connector access, and serviceability features. Partner with EE teams to define mechanical interfaces for PCBs, harnessing, connectors, and LRU-style modules; maintain ICDs and drawing packages. Perform first-order thermal and structural assessments (load paths, stiffness, margin checks) and support deeper analysis as needed. Produce detailed CAD, drawings, and r
