When the world says it can't be done, our engineers say watch this. Our Senior Mechanical Development Engineer is an innovator, designing creative solutions to meet new product requirements and improve existing products within our Gyro Product Engineering team. You'll not just deliver a design but have the opportunity to holistically lead the entire system development into production. You'll contribute to developing unorthodox products by:

• Developing new and innovative products with challenging expectations in a timely manner
• Leading refinement and cost reduction projects to improve existing products
• Mentoring, collaborating and leading projects with a growing, multi-disciplined, engineering team
• Creating 3D models and 2D drawings using CAD
• Performing Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and Necessary Engineering Calculations (NEC) to support design
• Documenting and presenting Engineering Reports
• Supporting assembly and testing to validate design
• Creating and maintaining Engineering Processes and Specifications

MUST-HAVES

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering
• 10+ years of experience in:
  • Mechanical design and/or product development
  • CAD modeling and FEA programs
• Openness to collaboration in all scenarios – you bring good ideas to the table, but can also recognize them from others
• Motivated to improve both yourself and those around you
• Passion to bring new products into production
• Self-sufficient at solving engineering problems related to the development of new products
• Proven track record in machine design, drafting, and engineering documentation
• Familiarity with GD&T, metal fabrication processes, order of assembly, and utilization of investment tooling

NICE-TO-HAVES

• Experience with Solidworks, Solidworks Simulation, and/or Nasgro
• Experience in the marine industry
• Heat transfer calculations experience

MORE DETAILS YOU'LL WANT TO KNOW

• You will be based onsite at our Leesport, PA facility Monday through Wednesday with the option to work remotely on Thursday and Friday
• You'll report to the Director of Gyro Engineering, also based at our Leesport, PA facility

YOUR TEAM

Our Senior Mechanical Development Engineer is nestled within our Gyro Development Engineering group. It is a small, but mighty team that covers a lot of ground. It is a flat team, managing projects through an Agile workflow that allows maximum exposure to a variety of projects and systems within the group. The team is comprised of engineers with varying backgrounds and specialties including hydraulic, electrical, mechanical, software, controls, and more with a heavy emphasis on collaboration.

You'll be able to be involved in a myriad of projects and participate in program management instead of only owning a small defined piece of the process.

WHO WE ARE

71% of our Earth is covered by water and we want everyone to make the most of it. That's why we are on a mission to create products that transform the boating experience with an organization that employees want to work for, customers want to buy from, and vendors want to partner with.

Founded in 2008, we have grown from a start-up operation to the worldwide leader in marine motion control. The journey began with our gyrostabilization technology, which eliminates up to 90% of boat roll and creates a land-like experience on the water. This technology went from an unknown commodity to a must-have boating requirement in the first decade. In 2022, we added another jaw-dropping technology to our portfolio with the launch of Seakeeper Ride, a first-of-its-kind Vessel Attitude Control System which eliminates underway pitch and roll, making time on the water safer and more comfortable for everyone onboard.

In summary, we are in the business of creating gravity-defying products that completely change the way people spend their time on the water…and we are just getting started!

We have long runways with both of our technologies with new addressable markets on the horizon and drive to push the boundaries of what our technologies can do. With dedicated focus to each segment, in addition to shared leadership of each vertical, we can balance the different demands of each segment while providing a consist overall vision and direction of the company.

Ready for a new challenge in a fast-paced environment? Want to help us disrupt an industry? Come on and apply, we are ready for you!
