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.

Key Responsibilities and Requirements

• Build, Test & Troubleshoot: Build, test and troubleshoot electrical systems from 5V to 48V, including battery-powered components, RF devices, data acquisition systems, sensors, payloads, motors and actuators.
• Problem Solving: Help develop solutions by bringing insights from your past hands-on experience.
• Documentation: Document build, test and troubleshooting processes so work can be repeated and improved.
• Shop & Equipment: Maintain shop equipment, tools and instrumentation. Help keep the shop organized, and set best practices for fabrication and the safe use of tools and equipment.
• Sourcing: Source parts and tools to support design and build efforts.
• Prototype to Production: Help move prototypes into production by simplifying and standardizing components and processes.

Qualifications

• Hands-on experience with electrical fabrication, instrumentation and test
• Strong attention to detail and an organized, well-documented approach to your work
• Comfortable switching between repeat builds and one-off problem solving
• Eager to learn new tools and software and to work across technical disciplines
• U.S. citizenship
• Able to work onsite at our North Kingstown, RI facility
• Able to travel up to 4 weeks per year
• Preferred Skills
• Soldering and crimping of electrical connectors and wiring
• Assembly of electromechanical systems
• Basic electrical troubleshooting equipment, such as multimeters and oscilloscopes
• Familiarity with wiring and PCB schematics and the tools used to create and document electrical systems
• Familiarity with AC and DC electrical systems, and able to read electrical specifications and schematics
• Familiarity with a 3D CAD package
• Experience working on boats and in maritime environments
