Engineering Lead - HAUV Systems

About BeeX BeeX is building the world's most advanced Hovering Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (HAUVs). BeeX specialises in providing autonomous robotics solutions to safeguard underwater infrastructure in the maritime, energy and defense sectors, reducing over 90% of carbon emissions. We are pioneering Autonomous Robotics-as-a-Service (ARaaS) on a global scale, supported by decades of operational experience in harsh waters. With unprecedented efficiency, we strive to provide our customers with a one-point solution for asset integrity management -- protecting assets they value, making sure they stay safe. Why Join Now The industries we serve need new ways to overcome their current challenges, and BeeX sees the opportunity in delivering exactly that, right now. Creating anything new is very hard, and we need outstanding people. At BeeX, everyone is dependent; united by enthusiasm for bold innovation. Our multi-disciplinary team thrives in dynamic environments, driving transformative advancements globally. Join us to make a meaningful impact on the world! You will enjoy this job if you: Want to work in fast-paced start-up environment, prioritizing growth over short-term gains Like to work independently, as well as collaboratively with team members in other sub-teams Have a positive learning mindset, and can quickly absorb knowledge to overcome challenges Can assess risk and make time-critical decisions/tradeoffs in imperfect scenarios Your Role BeeX is looking for an Engineering Lead, reporting to CTO, to own the mechanical design and integration of our HAUV/AUV platforms, from concept through field deployment. This is a hands-on technical leadership role: you will lead a team of mechanical and mechatronics engineers, drive design decisions on pressure housings, propulsion, and payload integration, and work shoulder-to-shoulder with electrical and software engineers to bring vehicles from the workshop to the water. Strong working knowledge of electrical/electronic systems is expected, as mechanical and electrical integration are tightly coupled in our vehicles. Your Job Scope Lead the mechanical and electrical design, analysis, and integration of Hovering Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (HAUVs), including pressure housings, modular frames, buoyancy/trim systems, multi-DOF thruster configurations for hovering/station-keeping, and inspection payload/sensor mounts (cameras, sonar, NDT sensors). Own design-for-manufacture, tolerancing, and material selection decisions for subsea inspection environments — corrosion resistance, dynamic sealing, pressure ratings — alongside electrical design decisions for wet-mateable connectors, penetrators, and power distribution suited to hovering-class vehicles. Design, integrate, and troubleshoot wiring harnesses, connectors, penetrators, and power/signal routing across the vehicle, ensuring clean integration between mechanical housings/frames and electrical/electronic…
