Original job description

About Katchi

Katchi Technologies is a Halifax-based ocean-technology company building autonomous trawl-control and fisheries-data systems for the commercial fishing industry. Our flagship product, AutoTrawl, keeps fishing gear precisely positioned in the water column - reducing seabed contact, cutting fuel, and opening the door to high-quality fisheries data collected from working vessels.

This is a small, technically deep team. You'll have real ownership of your work, and what you build will go to sea.

The Role

You'll be our lead Mechatronics Engineer, owning the hardware-software-integration core of the AutoTrawl system and reporting directly to the founding members. This is a hands-on mechatronics role spanning embedded software, electronics integration, marine sensor and communications work, and the mechanical packaging that must survive in a trawl net and at depth.

What you'll do:

Develop and harden real-time control software and firmware for the AutoTrawl system
Select, integrate, and interface marine hardware - sensors, controllers, actuators, and vessel systems - and decide “what goes on the boat”
Build robust communication and data interfaces between wheelhouse equipment, our control units, and shoreside/cloud systems
Design sealed, submersible electromechanical enclosures and mounts (CAD) for our in-net control units
Lead bench testing, dockside commissioning, and at-sea trials aboard partner vessels
Drive external design and manufacturing subcontractors to deliverable hardware
Apply AI tools and workflows to accelerate engineering, data handling, and development across the project

What You Bring (Required)

Minimum 5 years of professional engineering experience designing and shipping electromechanical or instrumentation products.
Degree in Mechatronics, Electrical, Computer, or Mechanical Engineering (or equivalent demonstrated experience)
Strong embedded firmware development (C/C++, real-time/RTOS) and electronics interfacing
Hands-on experience with communication protocols - marine (NMEA 0183 / 2000) and/or industrial/embedded (CAN, Modbus, RS-232/422/485, SPI/I²C) and TCP/IP networking
CAD proficiency (SolidWorks preferred) for sealed/submersible enclosure and mechanical packaging design
Ocean-sector / marine / subsea experience - you understand corrosion, sealing, connectors, ingress protection, and building gear that works in a harsh marine environment
AI-forward - genuinely interested in AI tools and workflows, and active about bringing them into how you work
Comfortable on boats and on the water
Valid driver's licence
Willingness to travel and go aboard vessels, and to go to sea for trials when required
Able to perform hands-on physical work, including lifting up to ~50 lbs
Eigible to work in Canada

Strong Assets (Nice to Have)

P.Eng licence (or eligibility for licensure with Engineers Nova Scotia)
PCB / custom electronics design
Hydraulic experience
Active use of AI tools and workflows in engineering practice

Soft Skills

Well-spoken, confident, and presentable - able to represent Katchi to customers, partners, and stakeholders.
Clear communicator, comfortable working closely with a lean team

Why Join Us

High-impact role where you help take a proven product to market
Work that ships and gets tested in the real world - on real fishing vessels
Competitive salary in Halifax's growing ocean-technology cluster
A genuinely hard, meaningful engineering problem in sustainable fisheries

How to Apply

Apply with your resume and a one-page project synopsis. Your project synopsis should cover one electromechanical, instrumentation, or marine systems project you shipped (or took through field/sea trial) and include:

The problem and operating environment
Your role and technical ownership
Key design and integration choices (hardware, firmware/software, communications, packaging)
How you verified it and what the outcome was (metrics welcome)

We review applications on a rolling basis and will contact candidates selected for next steps.
