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
- Develop the ground station (including the launching and retrieving system) for the kite propulsion of our wind-powered ships, ensuring they meet performance, safety, and reliability requirements.
- Develop detailed mechanical designs for the ground station, including structural components, mechanisms, and subsystems.
- Create 3D models and detailed drawings using CAD software (in SolidWorks) and participate in prototyping and testing of core mechanical components.
- Conduct engineering calculations and strength analyses (FEM) (with the SolidWorks toolbox) to optimize mechanical designs for efficiency and durability.
- Define requirements for the ground station and identify and select suitable suppliers for the system.
- Coordinate internal and external multi-disciplinary project stakeholders (naval architecture, embedded, control engineering).
- Manage the entire design lifecycle from concept to production.
- Assist in the preparation of technical documentation, including design specifications, CAD models, and engineering drawings.
- Prepare comprehensive design documentation, including specifications, test reports, and user manuals, also for class approval.
- Ensure designs adhere to relevant industry standards and regulatory requirements (from class societies).
