Electrical​/Electronics Engineering Technician- Uncrewed Maritime Systems

Position Summary

We are seeking a hands-on Electrical / Electronics Engineering Technician to support the development, integration, testing, and operation of advanced uncrewed maritime systems.

This position will work closely with electrical, mechanical, software, and systems engineers to build, install, troubleshoot, test, and maintain electrical and electronic systems aboard uncrewed surface vessels (USVs), associated test platforms, and integrated payload systems.

The ideal candidate is comfortable working both at a lab bench and aboard a vessel, can build high-quality electrical assemblies from engineering documentation, and is capable of systematically troubleshooting electrical and electronic systems in laboratory, dockside, and field environments.

• Assemble, install, modify, and troubleshoot electrical and electronic systems used on uncrewed surface vessels.
• Support the electrical and physical integration of mission payloads, sensors, communications equipment, and other customer- or program-specific systems onto USV platforms.
• Assist engineering teams with payload power, communications, cabling, mounting, installation, checkout, and functional testing.
• Build cable and wire harness assemblies from schematics, wiring diagrams, cable drawings, and engineering instructions.
• Perform wire preparation, crimping, soldering, connector termination, labeling, routing, and harness installation.
• Install and integrate electrical enclosures, sensors, actuators, power distribution equipment, communications equipment, navigation equipment, and other vessel electronics.
• Support integration of DC power systems, including batteries, circuit protection, power distribution, DC/DC converters, relays, contractors, and associated wiring.
• Assist engineers with prototype assembly, system integration, design changes, hardware modifications, and rapid development efforts.
• Perform electrical troubleshooting using multimeters, oscilloscopes, power supplies, current probes, CAN/network diagnostic tools, and other test equipment.
• Diagnose wiring faults, power issues, communication problems, intermittent connections, sensor issues, and component failures.
• Support integration and troubleshooting of CAN bus, NMEA 2000, Ethernet, serial, and other vessel and payload communication interfaces.
• Perform continuity, insulation, voltage, current, and functional testing of electrical assemblies and installed systems.
• Support dockside, on-water, and field testing of USVs and integrated payloads.
• Document test results, discrepancies, repairs, modifications, and as-built configurations.
• Maintain organized wiring, labeling, workmanship, and configuration control throughout prototype and production builds.
• Provide feedback to engineering regarding manufacturability, serviceability, installation, and recurring hardware issues.
• Assist with maintaining laboratory equipment, tools, components, cables, and electrical inventory.
• Follow established safety practices when working around batteries, energized electrical systems, machinery, vessels, and marine environments.

• High school diploma or equivalent.
• 2+ years of hands-on experience in electrical/electronics assembly, integration, maintenance, manufacturing, field service, or a related technical environment.
• Ability to read and understand electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, pinout tables, mechanical drawings, and technical documentation.
• Experience with wire harness fabrication, connector termination, crimping, and soldering.
• Comfortable using a digital multimeter and standard electrical/electronic test equipment.
• Demonstrated ability to systematically troubleshoot electrical and electronic systems.
• Strong mechanical aptitude and ability to perform hands-on…
