Your mission
Did you know that one single container ship emits more CO2 than 65,000 cars?
At CargoKite we are keen on changing this by developing the sailing ship of the 21st century. We are a diverse team of visionaries, engineers, and environmental advocates united by a common goal: to develop cutting-edge solutions that propel the shipping industry into a more sustainable era.
Are you a visionary with a passion for combating climate change? Do you have a knack for turning groundbreaking ideas into tangible, sustainable hardware solutions? If so, we invite you to join our trailblazing team at CargoKite and shape the future of maritime transportation.
We are seeking a motivated and talented Mechanical Engineer to join our dynamic team and drive the design and development of our groundbreaking wind-powered ship class. In this role, you will collaborate with a dynamic group of engineers, naval architects, and researchers to develop cutting-edge mechanical systems for our wind-powered ship class.

Your tasks
- Work closely with the design team to create and develop mechanical systems for our wind-powered ships, ensuring they meet performance, safety, and reliability requirements.
- Develop the design (in SolidWorks) and participate in prototyping, and testing of various mechanical components, such as hull stabilization systems, and auxiliary systems.
- Conduct engineering calculations, strength analyses and high-level CFD simulations (with the SolidWorks toolbox) to optimize mechanical designs for efficiency and durability.
- Collaborate on the selection of materials, components, and manufacturing processes to ensure product quality and cost-effectiveness.
- Assist in the preparation of technical documentation, including design specifications, CAD models, and engineering drawings.
- Iterate on existing designs to improve robustness and reliability of mechanical systems.
