Lead NX Design Engineer

Panthalassa is a renewable energy and ocean technology company committed to rapidly developing and deploying technologies that will ensure a sustainable future for Earth by unlocking the vast energy potential of its oceans. Our focus is on capturing civilizational levels of ultra-low-cost renewable energy. We operate as an idea meritocracy where the best ideas win, and we are building the most capable engineering and operations team on the planet.

We are seeking an NX Design Engineer to serve as the technical authority for engineering documentation and release. While the broader engineering team owns the hardware in the full lifecycle, you will own the standards of excellence for how that hardware is defined and released.

In this role, you will be the lead practitioner in Siemens NX, responsible for the creation and management of complex assembly drawings for our "Node"—a device designed to generate energy and survive for decades in the harshest ocean conditions. You are expected to set the benchmark for quantity and quality of drawings, particularly for large, safety-critical welded steel structures. You will bridge the gap between initial design concepts and production-ready engineering releases.

• →NX Mastery: Develop and maintain expert-level use of Siemens NX for the precise definition and release of structure and mechanical system designs.
• →Drawing Leadership: Lead the creation of complex assembly drawings, setting the organizational standard for clarity, accuracy, technical rigor and speed.
• →Welded Structures Definition: Personally own and execute detailed documentation and technical drawings for large-scale, safety-critical welded structures.
• →Documentation Lifecycle: Define and take ownership for the engineering release process, ensuring that every release includes appropriate detail and meets relevant standards.
• →Digital Thread Integration: Ensure PLM data and NX infrastructure are tightly integrated to support scaling initiatives and manufacturing accuracy.
• →Capacity Ownership: Establish our approach for augmenting the design team during times of high demand; enable us to meet cost, speed, and quality goals with a team-culture-aligned solution.

• Degree: Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field or equivalent experience.
• Experience: 10+ years of 3D CAD modeling experience, with a heavy emphasis on Siemens NX.
• Technical Standards: Expert knowledge of GD&T and engineering standards such as ASME Y14.5.
• Structural Expertise: Proven track record in the documentation of large-scale mechanical assemblies and welded steel structures.
• PLM Proficiency: Experience with Siemens Teamcenter.
• Attention to Detail: A commitment to quality and a meticulous approach to technical documentation.
