Full Job Description
Saronic Technologies is a leader in revolutionizing autonomy at sea, dedicated to developing state-of-the-art solutions that enhance maritime operations through autonomous and intelligent platforms. JOB OVERVIEW 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. RESPONSIBILITIES - 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 QUALIFICATIONS - Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechatron
