Join Shinkei as a Field Engineer

What you get to do:

• Own system-level integration of Poseidon onto commercial fishing vessels, including mechanical, electrical, and hydraulic interfaces
• Design field procedures for installation, maintenance, diagnostics, and vessel readiness
• Lead root-cause investigations for failures and drive design changes with ME, EE, and SW teams
• Validate upgrades and new product features through structured testing and field trials
• Create and maintain technical documentation, schematics, and installation standards
• Travel to fishing docks across the US (approximately 50 percent travel) to oversee installs, upgrades, and complex troubleshooting
• Train technicians, captains, and deck crews on safe operation and maintenance of our machinery
• When not traveling, work on-site (CA) or in Chinook/remote (WA/OR) to build, test, and refine robots and integration kits

What you will need:

• Bachelor’s degree in mechanical, electrical, aerospace, or systems engineering
• 3+ years of experience with electro-mechanical systems, systems integration, or field engineering
• Ability to design, analyze, and validate new interfaces and modifications under real-world constraints
• Strong troubleshooting skills across electrical, mechanical, and software-adjacent subsystems
• Ability to make technical decisions in ambiguous field environments
• Strong communication skills and comfort working with cross-functional engineering teams and vessel operators

Bonus if you have experience with:

• Designing for harsh environments including marine, offshore, or industrial settings
• Writing or using CLI diagnostic tools and working alongside software engineers
• Hydraulic system design or marine electrical integration
• Automotive, consumer electronics, or industrial crimping and wiring standards

Other things to know:

This is an extremely hands on engineering role where you have the chance to build, test, and repair linear actuators, electric motors, PCBS, harnessing, plumbing, and structural joints.
