  • Experience taking mechanical hardware from requirements through to validated delivery.
  • Experience guiding or mentoring engineers in a technical environment.
  • Proficiency with 3D/2D CAD and PLM tools such as SolidWorks/PDM or Siemens NX/Teamcenter.
  • Strong working knowledge of ASME/ISO drawing standards.
  • Understanding of underwater maritime constraints, including pressure, corrosion, and hydrodynamic considerations.
  • Clear and precise written and spoken English for documentation and cross-disciplinary collaboration.
  • Practical knowledge of hydrodynamics and CFD, with experience using simulation to inform design decisions, preferred.
  • Familiarity with underwater actuators and sensor systems, including brushed and brushless motors, servomotors, or magnetic coupling, preferred.

Benefits

  • Competitive salary and VSOP options.
  • Relocation support of up to €2,500 plus 4 weeks of temporary accommodation.
