Full-time
Mid · 4+ years experience
Onsite
Discovered 4 weeks ago

Full Job Posting

  • Prepare for field exercises by identifying, sourcing and preparing UUV test and support equipment
  • Write and execute day to day test operations plans and capture detailed daily operations and test reports
  • Conduct daily UUV inspections and systems checks for the Ghostfin both before and after operations
  • Coordinate regular UUV launch and recovery operations–you’ll be in the water most weekdays as we rapidly mature the platform
  • Become the vehicle subject matter expert in the field, able to perform maintenance, troubleshooting, repair, and upgrades in austere conditions
  • Travel to client sites to train customer operators on vehicle functionality, deployment, retrieval, and mission planning capabilities
  • Bring an operator's perspective to augment development, bringing constructive feedback to Engineering for UX/UI considerations, Standard Operating Procedures, and user documentation
  • 4+ years working hands-on with a technical team through the full arc of integration, test, and field verification of a complex electromechanical system
  • Comfortable becoming the go-to expert on a technical platform end-to-end
  • Sharp, practical problem-solver who is at ease working across hardware, software, and networking boundaries, who can take an ambiguous, half-defined issue and work it methodically to a real answer
  • Genuinely curious individual who picks up new technical systems and concepts on their own rather than waiting to be taught
  • Highly organized and methodical, especially under pressure — someone who gets more deliberate, not reactive, when things get stressful
  • Willing to be hands-on and in the field, not just planning from a desk
  • Comfortable and confident working on the water — driving a boat, towing a trailer, handling dock lines, and generally at ease around marine equipment
  • Ability to lift and maneuver test equipment and vehicle components up to 50 lbs
  • Travel 25-50% as needed
  • Engineering Degree or comparable experience preferred
  • Comfortable reading and working from technical documentation including mechanical drawings, wiring diagrams, work instructions or equipment schematics
  • Experience running functional checkouts or acceptance tests and knowing when to fix an issue on the spot versus flag it up the chain
