Job summary

BeeX is seeking a Manufacturing Engineer to own the build and integration of HAUV systems, ensuring reliability in harsh subsea environments. You will translate designs into repeatable production processes and lead quality initiatives as we scale from prototypes to full production.

You will collaborate across mechanical, electrical, and software teams, train technicians, and coordinate with suppliers while supporting cross-site alignment between Singapore and Johor Bahru.

Qualifications

Degree in Mechanical, Mechatronics, Electrical, Manufacturing, or Marine Engineering, or a related field.
2-5 years of experience in manufacturing, production, or assembly engineering, preferably in robotics, marine, aerospace, defence, or electromechanical products.
Hands-on skill with wiring harnesses, crimping, soldering, and connector termination. IPC/WHMA-A-620 or IPC J-STD-001 familiarity is a strong plus.
Understanding of sealing design, pressure housings, and waterproofing methods.
Ability to read and interpret mechanical drawings, GD&T, electrical schematics, and wiring diagrams.
Experience writing work instructions and building quality processes for low-to-medium volume production.
Comfortable in a hands-on, fast-moving startup environment where you will build, test, and troubleshoot directly.

Responsibilities

Own end-to-end HAUV build process for systems, including pressure hulls, thruster modules, electronics enclosures, PCB stacks, and vehicle-level integration.
Define and enforce standards for wiring harness fabrication, crimping, soldering, and subsea connector termination.
Build and qualify harnesses and cable assemblies that stay reliable under pressure, vibration, and saltwater exposure.
Train and certify technicians on crimping, soldering, and connector assembly practices.
Sealing, pressure integrity, and mechanical build — establish processes for pressure hull assembly, O-ring and seal installation, torque control, leak and pressure testing.
Manage fit, tolerance, and quality of machined fittings and 3D-printed components, coordinating with internal and external vendors.
Investigate and resolve leaks, ingress, corrosion, and mechanical failures found during testing or field operations.
Design jigs, fixtures, and tooling to improve build consistency and cut assembly time.
Set up quality checkpoints, inspection criteria, and documentation such as BOMs, build records, and non-conformance reports.
Lead root cause analysis and corrective action for production and field-return issues, feeding lessons back to design (DFM/DFA).
Help plan production capacity, line layout, and inventory of critical parts like connectors, fasteners, seals, and PCBs.
Work with mechanical, electrical, and software engineers to bring HAUV designs and upgrades into production.
Coordinate with suppliers on machined parts, PCB assemblies, and subsea components, including incoming inspection.
Support build and process alignment between Singapore and Johor Bahru sites, with travel as needed.

Job description

ABOUT BeeX

BeeX is building the world's most advanced Hovering Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (HAUVs).

BeeX specialises in providing autonomous robotics solutions to safeguard underwater infrastructure in the maritime, energy and defense sectors, reducing over 90% of carbon emissions. We are pioneering Autonomous Robotics-as-a-Service (ARaaS) on a global scale, supported by decades of operational experiences in harsh waters. With unprecedented efficiency, we strive to provide our customers with a one-point solution for asset integrity management -- protecting assets they value, making sure they stay safe.

WHY JOIN US NOW

The industries we serve need new ways to overcome their current challenges, and BeeX is delivering exactly that. Creating anything new is very hard. To do this, we need outstanding people.

At BeeX, everyone is dependent; united by enthusiasm for bold innovation. Our multi-disciplinary team thrives in dynamic environments, driving transformative advancements globally.

Your progress at BeeX depends largely on you, not some arbitrary corporate ladder. You will be exposed to different aspects of Deeptech, from design to commercialisation. Join us to make a meaningful impact on the world!

We are scaling up

our manufacturing, and we are looking for the right guy to pioneer and grow our manufacturing line. If you are up to the challenge, we want you to be a part of our team!

Your Role

As Manufacturing Engineer, you will own how our HAUVs are built, from individual subassemblies to fully integrated vehicles ready for sea trials and client deployment. Our vehicles work in harsh, high-pressure subsea environments, so build quality directly affects mission success. A single failed seal, poor crimp, or loose fastener can compromise a vehicle. You will turn engineering designs into repeatable, reliable, scalable production processes as we grow our fleet and move from prototype-level builds to consistent production.

Your Job Scope

HAUV assembly and integration

Own the end-to-end build process for HAUV systems, including pressure hulls, thruster modules, electronics enclosures, PCB stacks, and vehicle-level integration.

Subsea-grade electrical and interconnect

Define and enforce standards for wiring harness fabrication, crimping, soldering, and subsea connector termination.

Build and qualify harnesses and cable assemblies that stay reliable under pressure, vibration, and saltwater exposure.

Train and certify technicians on crimping, soldering, and connector assembly practices.

Sealing, pressure integrity, and mechanical build

Establish processes for pressure hull assembly, O-ring and seal installation, fastener torque control, and leak and pressure testing.

Manage fit, tolerance, and quality of machined fittings and 3D-printed components, working with internal fabrication and external vendors.

Investigate and resolve leaks, ingress, corrosion, and mechanical failures found during testing or field operations.

Process, quality, and scale-up

Design jigs, fixtures, and tooling to improve build consistency and cut assembly time.

Set up quality checkpoints, inspection criteria, and documentation such as BOMs, build records, and non-conformance reports.

Lead root cause analysis and corrective action for production and field-return issues, feeding lessons back to design (DFM/DFA).

Help plan production capacity, line layout, and inventory of critical parts like connectors, fasteners, seals, and PCBs.

Cross-functional and cross-site support

Work closely with mechanical, electrical, and software engineers to bring new HAUV designs and upgrades into production.

Coordinate with suppliers on machined parts, PCB assemblies, and subsea components, including incoming inspection.

Support build and process alignment between the Singapore and Johor Bahru sites, with travel as needed.

Desired Qualities

Degree in Mechanical, Mechatronics, Electrical, Manufacturing, or Marine Engineering, or a related field.

2- 5 years of experience in manufacturing, production, or assembly engineering, preferably in robotics, marine, aerospace, defence, or electromechanical products.
