Corsair is produced at scale in Austin, TX. Every sensor, module, payload, and harness has to fit, operate, survive extreme dynamic events, and be reconfigured in minutes when a technician meets it at the pier.\nThat engineering problem is yours. You'll own how Corsair's subsystems physically come together from first prototype through a design that can be built at a rate that meets the extreme demands from our customers.\nWhy this role\nYour hardware hits the water fast. Designs you release go onto a boat and into open-water testing within weeks, not quarters.\n\nYou own the design inside the hull. This isn't one bracket on a 40-person team. You set the layout, mounting, harnessing, and serviceability strategy for the vehicle's interior.\n\nCorsair is a high-volume platform. We have built over 400 in 18 months, so every design-for-manufacturing call you make compounds across the fleet and the production line.\n\nWhat you'll own\nPayload bays and mounts that let customers swap mission kits without a hull redesign\n\nSensor mounting and alignment that holds spec after thousands of hours of slam, vibration, and thermal cycling\n\nHarness routing and cable management that survives hull flex and lets a technician trace a fault without pulling the deck\n\nStructural interfaces between subsystems: brackets, bulkhead penetrations, and mounts that carry loads never seen by manned vessels\n\nAccess panels and serviceability, so field maintenance happens on the fly, not back at the factory\n\nInternal layout and packaging that moves from prototype fit-up to a repeatable production build\n\nWhat you'll do\nDesign the mechanical integration for electronics, sensors, and payloads, and own the physical layout of the vehicle interior\n\nDefine mounting strategies and structural interfaces, with tolerance analysis to back them up\n\nDevelop harness routing and cable management alongside electrical engineering\n\nCreate CAD models, drawings, and integration documentation that production and field teams can build from\n\nDrive design-for-manufacturing and design-for-service decisions as Corsair scales\n\nSupport prototype builds, open-water testing, and troubleshooting on the production floor and at test sites\n\nWork daily with EE, autonomy, production, and test teams to close integration issues fast\n\nQualifications\nBachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Aerospace, or related field\n\n2+ years integrating mechanical and electrical systems\n\nExperience with hardware packaging and subsystem integration\n\nProficiency in 3D CAD\n\nStrong mechanical design fundamentals\n\nExperience in prototype or production environments\n\nExperience with electronics packaging or robotics systems\n\nFamiliarity with cable/harness design\n\nExperience designing for harsh environments\n\nExperience with maritime, aerospace, or defense systems\n\nStrong cross-functional collaboration skills\n\nPhysical Demands\nProlonged periods of sitting at a desk and working on a computer\n\nOccasional standing and walking within the office\n\nManual dexterity to operate a computer keyboard, mouse, and other office equipment\n\nVisual acuity to read screens, documents, and reports\n\nOccasional reaching, bending, or stooping to access file drawers, cabinets, or office supplies\n\nLifting and carrying items up to 20 pounds occasionally (e.g., office supplies, packages)\n\nBenefits\nMedical Insurance: Comprehensive health insurance plans covering a range of services\n\nSaronic pays 100% of the premium for employees and 80% for dependents\n\nDental and Vision Insurance: Coverage for routine dental check-ups, orthodontics, and vision care\n\nSaronic pays 99% of the premium for employees and 80% for dependents\n\nTime Off: Generous PTO and Holidays\n\nParental Leave: Paid maternity and paternity leave to support new parents\n\nCompetitive Salary: Industry-standard salaries with opportunities for performance-based bonuses\n\nRetirement Plan: 401(k) plan\n\nStock Options: Equity options to give employees a stake in the company’s success\n\nLife and Disability Insurance: Basic life insurance and short- and long-term disability coverage\n\nAdditional Perks: Free lunch benefit and unlimited free drinks and snacks in the office\n\nSaronic CCPA Notice for Candidates and California Employees\nIf this role is based in the United States, it requires access to export-controlled information or items that require “U.S. Person” status. As defined by U.S. law, individuals who are any one of the following are considered to be a “U.S. Person”: (1) U.S. citizens, (2) legal permanent residents (a.k.a. green card holders), and (3) certain protected classes of asylees and refugees, as defined in 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3).\nSaronic does not discriminate on the basis of race, sex, color, religion, age, national origin, marital status, disability, veteran status, genetic information, sexual orientation, gender identity or any other reason prohibited by law in provision of employment opportunities and benefits.
