About the Role
As an Electrical Technician on our Hardware Engineering team, you’ll help fabricate, test and troubleshoot our uncrewed surface vessels and their subsystems. Your work will range from building test setups for individual components to integrating complete vehicles.

We’re looking for a versatile technician with strong skills in electrical fabrication, instrumentation and test, plus some experience with mechanical assembly. Attention to detail matters here. One week you might build several identical assemblies, the next you might create a one-off solution to a brand-new problem. You’re organized and document your work, but you can also think on your feet. You’ll learn new tools and software and work alongside engineers from several disciplines.
