Job Description
You will design the mechanisms that make payloads do things — deployment arms, release mechanisms, doors, latches, and the actuated hardware that moves payloads into position and lets them go. Reporting to the Payload Lead, you will own mechanism design from concept through qualification, in an environment where a single-shot mechanism has to work the first time, under pressure, after months of dormancy in seawater. Your spectrum of support will be diverse in nature and require you to leverage your technical expertise as well as leadership skills to set objectives, build cross-functional teams, and rapidly drive to completion. The ability to leverage your intuition and prior experience will be key in making sure the right design, analysis, and test steps are completed to ensure success. The ideal candidate will leverage their experience executing and successfully completing prior highly optimized multi-disciplinary projects.
Job Responsibilities
• Design actuated payload mechanisms — deployment, release, latching, and door systems
• Select and qualify actuators, motors, and drive hardware for subsea service
• Perform mechanism analysis: kinematics, load paths, margin, and duty cycle
• Design for single-shot and low-cycle reliability after long dormancy
• Own mechanism qualification testing, including pressure and life-cycle validation
• Develop failure modes analysis and redundancy strategy for critical mechanisms
• Produce drawings, tolerance stackups, and specifications for mechanism hardware
• Partner with Payload Mechanical, Payload Electrical, and Launch Systems on integration
