LEAD DESIGN ENGINEER - THE "BLOOMBERG TERMINAL OF THE OCEAN"
**Life changing equity opportunity**
I'm looking for an exceptional subsea design engineer to join something truly rare - a deep-tech venture with genuine unicorn potential AND government backing at the highest levels.
Why This Isn't Your Typical Startup:
Our Chair? Former UK Government Minister for AI & Tech.
Our Board? Former regional First Minister + 3 distinguished Professors (including advisors to UK Parliament's AI Secretariat).
Our network? Direct lines into Westminster, NATO, international parliaments, and sovereign decision-makers.
The Technology:
We're building the world's first integrated subsea monitoring platform - autonomous sensor stations combined with AI analytics protecting critical underwater infrastructure across Defence, Energy, and Environmental sectors.
Your designs will be deployed across the North Sea, Mediterranean, and beyond - protecting offshore wind farms, submarine cables, and maritime borders from hostile threats.
Your Mission:
Take breakthrough concepts and work with our COO (former NATO high command, ex-Thyssen Krupp Marine Systems) and transform them into certified, manufacturable hardware. You'll own the complete design translation from verbal sketches to fabrication-ready CAD drawings, working with UK machine shops to deliver our MVP
What You'll Bring:
· 5+ years subsea/marine/electrical/mechanical design experience
· Pressure housing & harsh environment expertise
· CAD mastery (SolidWorks/AutoCAD preferred)
· Experience with sensor integration & underwater systems
· Ability to translate vision into reality at startup speed
The Reality Check:
This is not for everyone. You'll be translating whiteboard sketches into pressure-tested hardware on aggressive timelines. You'll work with former ministers and NATO commanders while also arguing with machine shops about tolerances.
But if you want to design hardware that genuinely matters - that protects critical infrastructure, enables maritime security, and shapes the future of ocean intelligence - this is your moment.
Interested? DM me or email: jobs@windworkx.com
Include:
· Your CV
· Portfolio examples (CAD screenshots, photos of hardware you've designed)
· Brief note on your most relevant subsea/marine project
Let's talk about building the future of underwater domain awareness.
