Entry-Level Electronics Technician

Ocean Comm is the leader in wireless communication undersea, serving customers in defense, offshore energy and oceanographic research. Underwater, the wireless transfer of a single picture used to take an hour. We brought to market acoustic‑wave based wireless modems that can accomplish this 100 to 1000 times faster. Our wireless modems have the unique ability to livestream video — a game changer for exploring the underwater world.

Undersea drones can now remain connected while roaming the ocean freely.

Join an expert team building cutting‑edge undersea technology at the intersection of acoustics, signal processing, machine learning, embedded systems, and robotics. You will play a key role in delivering our modems to customers by working with our engineering team in a multi‑disciplinary environment. We are a small team where you may be working on something new every day. Responsibilities will include assembling modem prototypes, field‑testing at sea, and scaling up production.

An ideal candidate is self‑motivated and eager to grow their skillset. Many interns convert to full‑time, and we actively hire new grads.

• Ramp up manufacturing of our modems and ensure quality through testing
• Design, build, and script semi‑automated test setups
• Build and troubleshoot printed circuit board assemblies (PCBAs), proprietary sensors and other electro‑mechanical hardware
• Help integrate our modems into undersea drones and other cutting‑edge maritime systems and test the integrated systems at sea
• Design and machine mounts and housings using CAD/CAM software and a CNC mill
• Handle multiple priorities, organize workload, and meet deadlines
• Be an active participant in continuous improvement activities, provide feedback on ways we can improve our manufacturing operations
• Help build a positive and collaborative team culture that promotes product knowledge and skills development
• Keep the workspace clean, organized, and safe for yourself and your colleagues

• Progress towards an associate degree in Electronics, Electromechanical Technology, or a related technical field, with an emphasis on micro‑electronics

• Experience developing computer scripts, for example, to interface with lab equipment or automate tests
• 2+ years of experience in surface mount soldering and rework
• Experience reworking BGAs
• Experience working with electrical systems up to 400 VDC
• Proficiency in reading and interpreting complex PCB schematics, mechanical drawings, equipment specs and test procedures

• Close mentorship and intensive training
• Competitive compensation and equal pay commitment
• Continuous professional training
• Equal Opportunity Employer

The estimated salary range for this position is $65,000 - $80,000 per year, or $28-$35 per hour for interns. The salary offered will be based on a candidate’s experience and skill demonstrated during interviews and other evaluations.
