About the role
SCOPE OF WORK (DELIVERABLES)
- Collaborate with multidisciplinary engineering and operations personnel on pressure vessel assembly and testing as part of overall AUV integration milestones. - Perform device configuration tasks, including flashing and loading specified SW/FW versions onto target hardware. - Build, test, and integrate complex electrical and mechanical assemblies into AUV systems. - Execute detailed subsystem End-of-Line (EOL) tests according to prepared test procedures and documentation. - Conduct incoming quality inspection testing on printed circuit board assemblies (PCBAs). - Troubleshoot, diagnose, and repair electrical, electronic, and integrated circuits down to the component level. - Support the refinement, documentation, and continuous improvement of pressure vessel production and test processes. - Maintain 5S standards across test benches/work areas, conduct physical part inspections, close out assigned work orders, and adhere strictly to facility safety protocols. - Assist with equipment upkeep, calibration tracking, tooling organization, and lab inventory maintenance. - Provide potential travel support for offshore field operations, testing, or vessel trials as project requirements dictate.
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
- Solid technical background in electronics within relevant industries (Robotics, Defense, Aerospace, Avionics). - Proven track record of preparing, setting up, and executing rigorous test procedures with high attention to detail. - Working knowledge of core electrical engineering concepts and circuit theory. - Proficiency in reading and working directly from technical documentation, electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and engineering drawings. - Demonstrated commitment to hardware reliability, test integrity, and personal accountability for deliverables. - Hands-on proficiency with standard electrical test equipment (DMMs, oscilloscopes, benchtop power supplies, function generators, etc.). - Strong organizational, documentation, and detail-oriented technical execution skills. - Clear and effective written and verbal communication skills. - Ability to work independently with initiative, adaptability, and high drive toward project deadlines. - Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
- Prior experience in subsea robotics (AUVs, UUVs, or marine/underwater equipment). - Demonstrated experience safely handling electrical systems operating up to 400VDC. - Hands-on subsea cable splicing, potting, or custom harness fabrication experience. - Experience with hydrostatic test setups, pressure vessels, and/or high-pressure pneumatic/hydraulic systems. - Current or past IPC-A-610 and/or IPC/WHMA-A-620 certifications. - Familiarity with low-volume, high-mix (LVHM) or prototype-to-production manufacturing environments.
