The posting

About the Opportunity

Our client is a fast-growing maritime technology innovator developing cutting-edge wind-assisted propulsion systems. Their mission is to drastically reduce fuel consumption and carbon emissions across the global shipping industry.

As they scale, they are looking for a Senior Design Engineer to join their engineering team. This is a hands-on, high-impact role where you will manage the entire design lifecycle—from initial concept and detailed design to manufacturing release and operational hardware. If you are passionate about developing real-world climate-impact technology in an innovative, startup-style environment, this is the role for you.

The Role & Responsibilities

In this position, you will take full ownership of key mechanical subsystems, ensuring they are robust, cost-effective, and production-ready.

  • Design Ownership: Lead the mechanical design of subsystems from concept through to manufacturing release.
  • Technical Execution: Produce high-quality 3D models, manufacturing drawings, and necessary engineering calculations.
  • Manufacturing Liaison: Apply Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DFMA) principles to improve standards and reduce costs.
  • International Coordination: Act as the engineering interface with international suppliers to ensure timely delivery.
  • Problem Solving: Rapidly resolve design issues based on feedback from manufacturing and suppliers.
  • Mentorship: Guide and review the work of junior engineers to maintain high standards of integrity and safety.

Key Requirements

  • Experience: 5–10 years of hands-on experience in mechanical design within a production environment.
  • Industry Background: Proven track record in the Marine, Wind, or Offshore sectors.
  • Technical Skills: High proficiency in Siemens NX, Inventor, or equivalent 3D CAD tools.
  • Fabrication Knowledge: Strong experience with large structural assemblies, welding, and fabrication.
  • Standards: Familiarity with class or certification requirements (e.g., DNV or LR).
  • Travel: Willingness to travel to manufacturing plants in China (approximately 1 week per quarter) and visit various supplier sites.
  • Language (Highly Desirable): Fluency or partial fluency in Mandarin is a significant advantage and may command a higher salary bracket.

Why Join?

You will be joining a mission-led business at the forefront of the green maritime revolution. Our client offers:

  • High levels of ownership and autonomy.
  • The chance to see your designs move from concept to global deployment.
  • Comprehensive relocation and visa sponsorship support for the right candidate.
  • A collaborative environment where innovation is celebrated.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
