Key Responsibilities

Mechanical Design & Development

  • Design and develop sheet metal components and weldment assemblies, including structural supports, frames, brackets, enclosures, and marine-specific mechanisms.
  • Prepare detailed 3D models and 2D manufacturing drawings with full specifications (tolerances, bend allowances, weld symbols, GD&T where applicable).
  • Select appropriate materials, coatings, and surface treatments suitable for marine environments.

Hydraulic & Kinematic Systems

  • Design, analyze, and optimize hydraulic systems including cylinders, pumps, valves, manifolds, and hose routing.
  • Develop and validate kinematic mechanisms involving linear and rotary motion systems, articulated linkages, and synchronized movement assemblies.
  • Perform motion, load, and strength calculations to ensure performance, safety, and durability.

Engineering Validation & Optimization

  • Conduct mechanical calculations and FEA analysis to validate structural integrity and functionality.
  • Review and improve existing systems for reliability, performance, weight optimization, and cost efficiency.
  • Support prototype assembly, testing, commissioning, and troubleshooting on-site.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Coordinate with production teams, suppliers, and installation teams to ensure manufacturability and seamless integration.
  • Ensure compliance with engineering standards, safety regulations, and project technical specifications.
  • Prepare and maintain technical documentation, engineering reports, and Bill of Materials (BOMs).

Required Qualifications & Skills

  • Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent.
  • Minimum 3 years of relevant mechanical design experience (marine experience is an advantage).
  • Strong knowledge of hydraulic systems and kinematic mechanisms.
  • Proficiency in CAD software (SolidWorks required; FEA and AutoCAD preferred).
  • Solid understanding of manufacturing processes including laser cutting, bending, welding, and machining.
  • Ability to read, interpret, and create technical drawings and schematics.
  • Strong problem-solving mindset and ability to work in a fast-paced engineering environment.

What We Offer

  • Opportunity to work on innovative luxury yacht projects with international exposure.
  • Dynamic, multicultural working environment within a rapidly growing global brand.
