Job Description

Cellula is looking to add a

Senior Mechanical Engineer

to its Engineering team to support product development and project delivery.


Cellula Robotics Ltd. is a world-leading marine technology company focused on changing the paradigm of subsea survey, science and security through modular, long range, autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) systems. Our company is growing and is transitioning from building mostly one-of-a-kind prototypes to completing the development of our four core products and will be delivering multiples of those products to our customers. Our products are configured for each client to deliver required capabilities to the end-user. We are committed to producing sustainable solutions for the defense, mineral exploration, and energy sectors driven by innovation and industry knowledge. We're looking for enthusiastic and energetic people to join us in this growth and transition.


At Cellula we believe in collaboration, innovation, adaptability and reliability. These values are woven through all our products and how we do business. Our products are designed to be solutions to the challenges and capability needs of our clients, which often requires developing new capabilities and subsystems unique to a particular application. These systems are designed, built, and tested in-house by a skilled team of engineers, technicians, and support staff. People are at the heart of our business, and we pride ourselves in having a team-based workplace and building partnerships to solve the most difficult challenges in ocean technology. We believe in learning and innovating by doing. We send staff along with our products into the field to learn from our clients which informs our innovation.


As a

Senior Mechanical Engineer

, you'll leave your mark across Cellula's products and leverage your experience to improve and shape how we do mechanical engineering. You'll take ownership of complex system designs and guide major projects as a project engineer. You will excel in generating technical content efficiently, championing organizational processes, and fostering a positive team culture while providing mentorship and oversight to junior engineers. With expertise in systems-level design, analytical proficiency, and a proactive approach to problem-solving, you will drive product improvements, ensure quality standards, and serve as a catalyst for innovation and excellence within the engineering team. We expect our senior engineers to become the "go to" experts in their areas of experience and become subject matter experts in AUVs and other subsea technologies. The ideal candidate has experience in subsea technology such as AUVs, ROVs, or similar systems, or has experience in adjacent industries like robotics or other low volume high mix engineering where systems have undergone the transition from prototype to product.


As a company, we offer team members a chance to grow professionally. Our office is a casual, collaborative environment where you will be able to learn about our state-of-the-art systems from technical experts. We're excited for you to contribute your experience and make a positive impact on how we grow. In addition, we offer flexible work hours, benefits, and competitive compensation. This position is primarily an on-site position with some limited flexibility for remote work.
