Senior Mechanical Engineer - ROV Systems (Houston, TX)We''re partnering with a market leader in subsea robotics to hire a Senior Mechanical Engineer to drive design and qualification of work-class and observation-class ROVs, TMS/LARS, manipulators, and subsea tooling. You''ll architect rugged, serviceable hardware for deepwater environments - balancing hydrodynamics, reliability, and manufacturability under extreme pressure and corrosive conditions.What you''ll doLead end-to-end mechanical design for ROV frames, buoyancy, thruster/propulsor integration, manipulators, tool skids, compensated hydraulic systems, pressure housings, and wet-mate interfaces.Perform analysis and testing: structural and fatigue FEA, hydrodynamic drag/lift (CFD), vibration, shock, and thermal; correlate with tank/flow-loop and sea trials.Engineer pressure-balanced/oil-filled systems, compensators, dynamic/static seals, bearings, and gear trains for deepwater duty (phone number removed) m).Specify materials/coatings for seawater service: super duplex / Ti / 6Al-4V / 6061-T6 / 7075 / PEEK / acetal, ceramics, and elastomers; design for galvanic isolation and cathodic protection.Own product documentation: BoMs, drawings, GDandT (ASME Y14.5), assembly/test procedures, maintenance manuals.Define and execute qualification test plans: pressure/vacuum, leak and helium sniff, endurance cycling, IP/ingress, proof/ultimate loads, and DNV/ABS compliance.What you''ll bringBS/MS in Mechanical Engineering (or related
