Job Description
Subnero is a deep-tech company specializing in underwater communication and positioning technology. We design and build mission-critical hardware and software solutions that operate in the ocean's most challenging environments, from shallow coastal waters to depths of 6,000 meters. We don't just build devices; we create integrated systems where the hardware, software framework, and the human operator form a cohesive, reliable solution. As we expand our reach from acoustic modems into other areas and systems, we are seeking a designer who shares our commitment to rigorous engineering, industrial design, and products that perform flawlessly under extreme pressure. 👉 A role with a path: You start as the owner of our mechanical and industrial design. As you learn our products, our customers, and our market, you grow into a Product Owner who shapes what we build and why, not just how it is made. The move is natural, because a product designer already lives where customers, suppliers, timelines, and tradeoffs meet. We will grow the scope with you as you earn it. As a Mechanical and Product Designer at Subnero, you will: Design our subsea products: Engineer systems and accessories like those in our current range, rated to 6 km of ocean depth, from concept through to qualified hardware. Design our topside products too: Create the desk based and deck units that work alongside the subsea hardware. Bring an industrial design eye: Incorporate a clean, modern, and purposeful industrial design lens to every project, ensuring our hardware is as visually thoughtful as it is technically proficient. Design for manufacture and excellence: Apply DFM and DFE thinking from the first sketch, not as an afterthought. Design the materials and sealing: Select materials and design the sealing and connector interfaces that survive seawater and pressure, and prove the housings to their depth rating with the right structural analysis. Engage vendors and manufacturers early: Work with suppliers f
