FEAStructural AnalysisMechanical DesignThermodynamics
About the role
- We're a small team tackling a massive, first-of-its-kind engineering challenge.
- This requires a mix of first principles engineering and existing technology from other industries.
- Heat exchangers, structures, pipes, mechanical interfaces between subsystems - if it's metal and it matters, it's yours.
Responsibilities
- Design structural and mechanical systems for the platform: frames, supports, enclosures, piping, and mechanical interfaces
- Perform structural analysis and ensure designs meet load, fatigue, and corrosion requirements for offshore service
- Own material selection and mechanical integrity for saltwater, vibration, and thermal cycling environments
- Drogue is building the world's first offshore floating data centers.
- If you thrive in ambiguity, love hard problems, and want to build something that's never been built before - keep reading.
- We're engineering a new class of ocean-deployed infrastructure that generates its own power, recovers its own waste heat, stays on station in severe weather, and runs autonomously.
- As our Founding Mechanical Engineer you'll own the physical structure and mechanical systems that hold everything together and keep it working at sea.
Requirements
- Comfort with FEA tools and CAD, and the judgment to know when the model is wrong
- B.S./M.S. in Mechanical Engineering
- Hands-on structural and mechanical design experience - you've built things, not just analyzed them
Benefits
- We pay our employees competitive salaries based on level of experience and offer meaningful equity in a fast growing company.
Company info
- We offer generous relocation assistance for candidates across the US.
