Kraken Robotics is currently recruiting for an Intermediate Mechanical Engineer to join our Mount Pearl, NL office.

ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

Design mechanical components and systems in 3D CAD software, ensuring compliance with technical specifications, industry standards, and project requirements. This position focuses on the Sub-Bottom Imager and Acoustic Corer sonar product line, their launch and recovery systems, and ROV and vessel interface equipment. Conduct finite element analysis (FEA) and simulation studies (stress, vibration, shock, thermal) to optimize designs for safety, performance, reliability, and manufacturability. Create and maintain clear, accurate engineering documentation (drawings, manuals, procedures). Develop and execute test plans to validate performance and requirements. Contribute across the full product lifecycle—from concept and design reviews to build, test, and deployment. Manage engineering data in PDM systems with strong version control and traceability. Collaborate with cross-functional teams including electrical, systems, production, configuration management and project management. Support sonar service campaigns through the solicitation of technical requirements from client/vessel/ROV and design + specification of the Engineering interface Occasionally perform physical work including assembly, disassembly, maintenance, and testing of components. Review technical deliverables and mentor junior team members.

QUALIFICATIONS AND EXPERIENCE

Mechanical Engineering degree or equivalent engineering discipline with 4+ years' experience. Registered or eligible for registration with PEGNL. Knowledgeable in general machine design.
