Full Job Description
ABOUT US: Collaborative autonomy is how self-tasking teams of machines will solve hard human problems, and HavocAI is an unquestioned leader in collaborative autonomy. We set the standard for autonomous surface vessels for a wide range of defense and commercial maritime missions. Success requires us to grow quickly, and we’re looking for teammates who are passionate about solving hard problems, about pushing the envelope, and about preventing conflict and saving lives. Ambition is welcome to apply within. ABOUT THE ROLE: We are seeking a Senior Mechanical Engineer to join our Hardware Engineering team. This role has a strong mechanical engineering focus, with exposure to electrical systems primarily from an integration and interface perspective. The position supports new system development, payload integration, and subsystem design for uncrewed surface vessels, working closely with electrical and software engineers to ensure robust, manufacturable, and field-ready hardware solutions. The ideal candidate is highly proficient in mechanical design and CAD, experienced in bringing complex mechanical systems from concept through production, and comfortable collaborating with electrical engineers to define interfaces, routing, and packaging—without being the primary electrical designer. KEY RESPONSIBILITIES AND REQUIREMENTS: - System Development & Architecture Lead and contribute to the mechanical design and integration of new systems and payloads, including structural components, enclosures, mounts, and overall system packaging. Support electrical integration by defining mechanical interfaces, routing paths, and mounting solutions. - Mechanical Design Create detailed CAD models, assemblies, and engineering drawings using SolidWorks for mechanical structures, housings, brackets, mounts, and mechanisms suitable for marine operating environments. - Electrical Interface Support Work alongside electrical engineers to support integration of wiring harnesses, connectors, and el
