Marcurius; Clearwater (FL); On-site; USD 85,000 - 115,000; Full time

Job summary

Marcurius is seeking a Mechanical Design Engineer to support development and production of our autonomous maritime platforms and related equipment.

This hands-on role covers from concept through CAD development, engineering decisions, drawings, prototype and production build support, and subsequent design updates. You will collaborate with engineering, production, technicians, fabricators, and suppliers to ensure manufacturability and maintainability.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering.
• 3–6 years of relevant mechanical design experience.
• Strong hands-on experience with SolidWorks, including part modeling, complex or large assemblies, drawing creation, and design modifications.
• Experience taking mechanical designs through prototype and/or production builds.
• Experience resolving real-world fit, fabrication, assembly, or manufacturability issues in collaboration with technicians or shop personnel.
• Ability to work effectively with limited oversight, take ownership of an objective, manage ambiguity, make reasoned engineering decisions, and deliver a complete design.

Responsibilities

• Develop mechanical parts and complex assemblies in SolidWorks, from initial concepts through released designs.
• Produce clear, accurate engineering drawings, bills of materials, and specifications suitable for fabrication and assembly.
• Select appropriate materials, hardware, fits, and tolerances based on load, operating environment, manufacturing method, inspection requirements, and service conditions.
• Translate engineering objectives into practical mechanical concepts and complete designs.
• Evaluate design trade-offs, document key assumptions, and make sound engineering decisions.
• Work with fabricators, suppliers, technicians, and production personnel during prototype and production builds.
• Support fit checks and integration activities on vessels and on the shop floor.
• Identify and resolve fit, manufacturability, fabrication, and assembly issues discovered during builds.
• Incorporate as-built feedback and maintain design revisions so released information reflects the product.
