AUV Technician

Key Responsibilities

• Mechanical & Electrical Assembly:
  Assemble and integrate enclosures, frames, connectors, sensors, and cabling. Perform basic fabrication (drilling, cutting, tapping, mounting, sealing) and assist with waterproofing and marine‑grade cable management.
• CAD & Packaging:
  Create and edit part models and drawings in Solid Works. Support mechanical packaging, mounting solutions, fit checks, and generate BOMs.
• System Integration & Testing:
  Support subsystem integration (power, comms, navigation, sensors). Conduct bench tests, continuity checks, functional validation, and assist with test plans.
• Wiring & Electronics:
  Crimping, soldering, connectorization, harness routing. Basic troubleshooting using multimeters and continuity testers. Support telemetry (LoRa) setup and acoustic system cabling.
• Documentation & Inventory:
  Maintain build logs, as‑built photos, and configuration records. Track parts, lead times, and re‑order needs.

• Associate’s degree in advanced manufacturing, Electronics Engineering Technology, Mechanical Engineering Technology, or H.S. Diploma with equivalent experience (e.g., makers).
• 1–3 years of hands‑on technical experience (professional or significant academic/project equivalency).
• Hands‑on experience with 3D printing and troubleshooting/repair of 3D printers.
• Basic proficiency with CAD (Solid Works) and ability to read engineering drawings.
• Comfortable with hand tools, drill press, soldering iron, and crimpers.
• Working knowledge of wiring, connectors, and electronics fundamentals (polarity, continuity, grounding).
• Strong attention to detail, organization, and documentation habits.

• Experience with robotics, marine systems (AUV/ROV), or prototype integration.
• Exposure to ROS (Robot Operating System) and Linux‑based system configuration.
• Familiarity with DVL/INS/IMU concepts, acoustic/optical communications, and navigation basics.
• Experience with waterproofing techniques (O‑rings, glands, potting compounds, IP‑rated enclosures).

Conditions: On‑site laboratory and workshop environment with occasional field (maritime systems) support. Physical activities include lifting up to ~50 lbs.

Compensation: $25 - 30 per hour
