What they need
- We are seeking a versatile Forward Deployed Hardware Engineer to join our technical team. You will have a strong mechanical and electrical background and be responsible for bringing our technology from the lab to the fleet
- This is not a traditional engineering role. You will be responsible for deploying our systems into the real world, directly supporting maritime missions. You will integrate cutting-edge mechanical and electrical payloads, debug complex system-level problems, and iterate hardware designs in the field to ensure success. This is a highly hands-on and field-oriented role with time split between the lab, fabrication spaces, and the waterfront
- Serve as a multidisciplinary field engineer responsible for mechanical and electrical integration of novel systems and payloads onto our Autonomous Service Vessels (ASVs) and maritime platforms
- Lead rapid prototyping efforts to support field experimentation and platform evolution
- Perform system bring-up, integration, and troubleshooting of power, networking, sensors, and compute subsystems
- Own dockside and sea trials - prepare vessels, install new hardware packages, and perform system validation in operationally relevant environments
- Drive design-for-assembly and design-for-deployment feedback into hardware product development
- Work closely with cross-functional teams, including Mechanical, Electrical, Software, and Autonomy Engineers, to evolve and harden system designs
- Interface with suppliers and fabrication shops to support fast turnarounds of custom components and harnesses
- Contribute to documentation and training to support the scaling of deployment and manufacturing- Exposure to ruggedized or IP-rated hardware design is preferred
- Familiarity with maritime environments or naval platforms is preferred
- Experience working with autonomous systems, drones, or other robotic platforms is preferred
- Strong sense of ownership and bias for action
- Experience in systems integration or test engineering is preferred
- Hands-on expertise in Electrical integration (power systems, cabling, connectors, PCB bring-up)
- Hands-on expertise in rapid prototyping and system-level debugging
- Experience working with a Linux-based operating system
- Willingness to work in dynamic, hands-on environments, including on and near the water
- Hands-on expertise in Mechanical assembly and fabrication (CNC, sheet metal, 3D printing, etc.)
- Comfort working with tools such as CAD (SolidWorks, NX, or similar), basic electrical test equipment (multimeters, oscilloscopes), and field integration setups
- You thrive in real-world environments, responsible for solving open-ended problems
- Ability to write basic software tools (e.g., Python, shell scripts) for hardware bring-up or test automation is preferred
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field. Master’s degree is a plus
- 3+ years of experience working on integrated electromechanical systems, preferably in fielded or mission-critical environments
- Understanding of networking protocols and distributed systems, including TCP/IP, UDP, and message-passing frameworks
