Marine Mechanical Engineer (Associate - Principal)
Job description
We are seeking a Marine Mechanical Engineer to lead the design and integration of auxiliary and propulsion support systems for autonomous surface vessels. This is a hands-on mechanical design role focused on fluid systems, machinery integration, and vessel-level mechanical architecture - not propulsion unit design itself. These systems must perform reliably in harsh, real-world maritime environments.
Saronic Technologies is a leader in revolutionizing autonomy at sea, dedicated to developing state-of-the-art solutions that enhance maritime operations through autonomous and intelligent platforms.
Job responsibilities
- Fuel storage, transfer, and conditioning systems
- Seawater and freshwater cooling systems
- Ventilation and HVAC for machinery spaces
- Hydraulic systems and fluid power components
- Piping, valves, pumps, and fluid distribution networks
- Auxiliary machinery and below-deck mechanical integration
- Design and develop marine auxiliary systems from concept through production
- Create system layouts and machinery arrangements
Job requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Marine, or related field
- 2+ years designing mechanical or fluid systems
- Strong fundamentals in fluid mechanics and thermodynamics
- Experience with piping, cooling, fuel, HVAC, or hydraulics
- Ability to perform first-principles calculations
- Experience with CAD tools
