Sr. Program Scheduler

Location:

Austin, Texas

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.

About the Role

Field Quality Services supports our deployed fleet — from customer vessel support and retrofits to fleet inspections, corrective actions, NOEs, Service Bulletins, and IRB/RCCA investigations. Field issues rarely belong to a single organization: closing one can require Quality inspection, Engineering analysis, parts availability, vessel access, Mission Operations support, customer coordination, repair, and final verification.

As the Senior Program Scheduler, you will be the coordination layer that connects all of it. You will own the plan, schedule, dependencies, and follow-through for Field Quality activities so that findings and corrective actions move from identification to verified closure:

Field Issue
- Prioritize
- Plan
- Assign
- Schedule
- Execute
- Verify
- Close

Technical owners decide what needs to happen. You make sure everyone knows when it happens, who owns it, what it depends on, and whether it is on track.

This is a new role on a Field Quality organization that is still being built. You will help define the operating rhythm, tools, and management systems the team scales on.

What You'll Do

• Planning and scheduling
• Build and maintain the Field Quality master schedule.
• Coordinate vessel availability for inspections, repairs, retrofits, and follow-up verification.
• Plan for customer vessel returns, recommissioning, retrofit events, deployments, and major fleet activities.
• Coordinate inspection and Quality support requirements for upcoming field activities.

Tracking and follow-through

• Track Field Quality projects, milestones, deliverables, owners, and due dates.
• Track NOEs, Service Bulletins, fleet actions, inspections, and corrective actions through closure.
• Track IRB and RCCA actions so owners and commitments stay visible.
• Maintain action registers and make sure cross-functional commitments are followed through.
• Escalate schedule risks and overdue actions to the right leaders.

Cross-functional coordination

• Coordinate schedules across Quality, Mission Operations, Design and Manufacturing Engineering, Programs, Manufacturing, Supplier Quality, Supply Chain, Warranty/Customer Support, and field and retrofit teams.
• Serve as the central coordination point for Field Quality execution, while technical ownership stays with the right Quality or Engineering lead.

Reporting and operating rhythm

• Produce weekly program status and schedule reports for Field Quality leadership.
• Keep high-priority field issues and their status visible.
• Support resource planning and forecasting as Field Quality workload grows.
• Help establish repeatable workflows, meeting cadences, and management systems for the organization.

How You'll Work With the Team

• Field Quality Manager — owns strategy, priorities, customer quality, escalation, resources, and overall performance.
• Senior Quality Engineer — owns technical investigations, IRB, RCCA, commonality/risk assessments, corrective actions, and technical closure.
• Senior Program Scheduler (this role) — owns program planning, schedules, dependencies, action tracking, resource coordination, execution visibility, and cross-functional follow-through.
• Field Quality Engineers / Inspectors — execute investigations, inspections, containment, verification, evidence collection, and field quality activities.

What You'll Bring

Required

• Bachelor's degree in engineering, business, operations…
