About the role
- Odin Dynamics is hiring multiple Senior Mechanical Engineers to serve as Responsible Engineers for critical mechanical subsystems across our platform.
- Each engineer will take primary technical ownership of one of five areas:
- Candidates will apply to a common requisition, and Odin Dynamics will determine the best area of focus through the interview process.
Responsibilities
- Develop greenfield mechanical designs from initial requirements and architecture through field-tested, production-ready hardware.
- Produce detailed designs and complete assemblies in CAD, managing interfaces and integration across the vehicle.
- Perform structural, thermal, and fluid analyses-using both hand calculations and FEA-and apply the judgment to know which approach a problem needs.
- Select materials and design for the marine environment, accounting for pressure, corrosion, sealing, and long-duration reliability.
- Design for manufacturing, working directly with machine shops, fabrication partners, and internal technicians to ensure designs translate cleanly from CAD to production.
- Bring up, assemble, and validate hardware on the bench, in test fixtures, and in the water.
- Develop and execute test plans for your subsystem, from component-level validation through full-vehicle pressure testing and ocean trials.
- Support production, investigate failures on deployed hardware, and own corrective improvements throughout the product lifecycle.
- Use AI-assisted design and analysis tools to accelerate work while independently validating outputs and maintaining a first-principles understanding of the resulting system.
Requirements
- Odin Dynamics, Inc. participates in E-Verify and will provide the federal government with your Form I-9 information to confirm that you are authorized to work in the U.S.
Nice to have
- Strong CAD proficiency and experience managing complex assemblies across multi-disciplinary teams.
- Strong analytical skills across FEA and hand calculations, with sound engineering judgment about when to use each.
- Hands-on experience with prototyping, assembly, and test-you are comfortable in a shop and on a dock.
- Experience reading and producing engineering drawings, defining tolerances, and managing interfaces.
- Experience designing for demanding physical environments, accounting for factors such as pressure, thermal, vibration, corrosion, or long-duration reliability as relevant to your specialization.
- Ability to work independently with minimal oversight while collaborating closely across engineering disciplines.
- Willingness to support field testing and sea trials when required.
- Underwater vehicles, marine systems, UAVs, robotics, aerospace, automotive, or other tightly integrated electromechanical products.
Company info
- We are looking for engineers with deep expertise in at least one area who are also comfortable working across structures, hydrodynamics, mechanisms, thermal, materials, manufacturing, and test.
Visa & Work Authorization
- Please note that any offer for employment may be conditioned on authorization to receive software or technology controlled under these U.S. export control laws and regulations without sponsorship for an export license.
