From the Mariana Trench, the deepest point on earth, to surging shorelines and anywhere in-between, we make the impossible possible through our continuous passion for innovation.

Our people design, engineer and manufacture technologies that are enabling our customers to discover, navigate, measure, detect and communicate in the toughest environment on earth: Our oceans. We’ve been actively developing the technology to make the oceans accessible for nearly 50 years and we’re only just getting started…

Are you an experienced Electro-Mechanical Design Engineer looking for an exciting challenge in a cutting-edge subsea environment? Join our dynamic Engineering team and contribute to pioneering designs that push the boundaries of technology.

About the Role:

As a Senior Electro-Mechanical Design Engineer, you will be instrumental in developing innovative mechanical assemblies and early concept designs for external proposals and internal requirements. You will work collaboratively with a talented team of engineers to drive technological advancements across our product range.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Design and develop new concepts and technologies to expand the company’s business opportunities.
  • Work closely with customers, engineering, and production teams to meet design specifications and ensure quality standards are maintained.
  • Stay updated on emerging technologies and assess their integration into company products.
  • Utilize your expertise in manufacturing, materials, and economic design principles to optimize costs and efficiency.
  • Conduct design validation using hand calculations, finite element analysis (FEA), and experimental testing.
  • Produce and manage detailed mechanical drawings using Autodesk Inventor, including build instructions and assembly methods.
  • Maintain responsibility for nominated products throughout their lifecycle, including modifications, variant creation, and obsolescence management.
  • Contribute to process improvements, cost reduction initiatives, and documentation management.
  • Ensure compliance with Occupational Health & Safety policies and company standards.

What We’re Looking For:
