Original job description

Job Title: Mechanical Systems Engineer EquipmentJob DescriptionThis role leads the mechanical design, configuration control, and lifecycle management of equipment used to move, lift, tow, launch, recover, transport, and support a cleansheet large autonomous underwater vehicle. You will own the vehicle master model and toplevel assembly, define and enforce CAD standards and modeling conventions, and manage drawing release and PDM workflows. You will take operatorfacing hardware from concept through detailed design, fabrication, and real dockside and atsea use in a handson prototype environment.

Responsibilities

Own and maintain the vehicle master model and toplevel mechanical assembly, ensuring accuracy, completeness, and consistency across all configurations.
Define, implement, and uphold CAD standards, modeling conventions, and best practices for mechanical design and large assemblies.
Develop detailed 3D models and 2D drawings for lifting, handling, rigging, towing, launch, recovery, transport, and support equipment used with a large autonomous underwater vehicle.
Create and release productionquality drawings with appropriate GD&T, tolerances, and notes to support fabrication and inspection.
Manage drawing and release processes, including PDM workflows, permissions, release states, revision control, and overall largeassembly health.
Support engineering change and configuration management activities, ensuring that design updates are controlled, traceable, and properly documented.
Develop and maintain technical data packages for mechanical equipment, including models, drawings, specifications, and supporting calculations.
Perform and document structural and loadpath hand calculations to validate lifting and handling designs and support loadrated equipment certification.
Design tow points, bridles, lifting fixtures, cradles, handling equipment, and launch/recovery mechanisms for dockside and atsea operations.
Collaborate closely with fabrication, test, and operations teams to ensure designs are manufacturable, safe, and operatorfriendly.
Support prototype build, integration, and testing activities in a handson environment, including dockside and atsea trials.
Troubleshoot mechanical issues in the field and iterate designs based on realworld feedback and operational experience.
Provide training and guidance to team members on CAD standards, drawing practices, and configuration management processes.
