vessels (USVs), associated test platforms, and integrated payload systems.\nThe 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.\n\nKey Responsibilities\n\nAssemble, install, modify, and troubleshoot electrical and electronic systems used on uncrewed surface vessels.\nSupport the electrical and physical integration of mission payloads, sensors, communications equipment, and other customer- or program-specific systems onto USV platforms.\nAssist engineering teams with payload power, communications, cabling, mounting, installation, checkout, and functional testing.\nBuild cable and wire harness assemblies from schematics, wiring diagrams, cable drawings, and engineering instructions.\nPerform wire preparation, crimping, soldering, connector termination, labeling, routing, and harness installation.\nInstall and integrate electrical enclosures, sensors, actuators, power distribution equipment, communications equipment, navigation equipment, and other vessel electronics.\nSupport integration of DC power systems, including batteries, circuit protection, power distribution, DC/DC converters, relays, contactors, and associated wiring.\nAssist engineers with prototype assembly, system integration, design changes, hardware modifications, and rapid development efforts.\nPerform electrical troubleshooting using multimeters, oscilloscopes, power supplies, current probes, CAN/network diagnostic tools, and other test equipment.\nDiagnose wiring faults, power issues, communication problems, intermittent connections, sensor issues, and component failures.\nSupport integration and troubleshooting of CAN bus, NMEA 2000, Ethernet, serial, and other vessel and payload communication interfaces.\nPerform continuity, insulation, voltage, current, and functional testing of electrical assemblies and installed systems.\nSupport dockside, on-water, and field testing of USVs and integrated payloads.\nDocument test results, discrepancies, repairs, modifications, and as-built configurations.\nMaintain organized wiring, labeling, workmanship, and configuration control throughout prototype and production builds.\nProvide feedback to engineering regarding manufacturability, serviceability, installation, and recurring hardware issues.\nAssist with maintaining laboratory equipment, tools, components, cables, and electrical inventory.\nFollow established safety practices when working around batteries, energized electrical systems, machinery, vessels, and marine environments.\n\nRequired Qualifications\n\nHigh school diploma or equivalent.\n2+ years of hands-on experience in electrical/electronics assembly, integration, maintenance, manufacturing, field service, or a related technical environment.\nAbility to read and understand electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, pinout tables, mechanical drawings, and technical documentation.\nExperience with wire harness fabrication, connector termination, crimping, and soldering.\nComfortable using a digital multimeter and standard electrical/electronic test equipment.\nDemonstrated ability to systematically troubleshoot electrical and electronic systems.\nStrong mechanical aptitude and ability to perform hands-on installation and integration work.\nAbility to work independently from engineering drawings and instructions while effectively communicating questions, discrepancies, and technical issues.\nStrong attention to detail and commitment to high-quality workmanship.\nAbility to work effectively with engineers, technicians, operators, and other team members in a fast-paced development environment.\nAbility to successfully complete required employment and program-related background screening.\nMust be eligible and able to obtain and maintain a U.S. Government security clearance if required by program or customer needs.\nPreferred Qualifications\nExperience in one or more of the following areas is highly desirable:\nMarine electrical or marine electronics systems\nPayload integration or integration of customer-furnished equipment\nUncrewed vehicles, robotics, autonomous systems, or defense systems\n12 VDC, 24 VDC, or 48 VDC power systems\nCAN bus, DroneCAN, or NMEA 2000\nEthernet and serial communications\nGPS/GNSS, IMUs, navigation sensors, or autopilot systems\nRF, communications, cameras, or other mission payload systems\nMotors, motor controllers, actuators, pumps, or steering systems\nBattery systems and DC power distribution\nEnvironmental sealing and marine-grade electrical installation practices\nPrototype development and low-rate production\nPCB rework, modification, and component-level troubleshooting\nPrevious experience supporting DoD, government, or defense-industry programs\nTravel Requirements\nThis position will support engineering, integration, and test activities at multiple South Florida facilities and test locations.\nRegular local travel between company facilities and work sites in West Palm Beach, Stuart, and Fort Pierce, Florida will be required.\nCandidates must be able to travel between these locations based on engineering, integration, production, and testing needs.\nOccasional additional travel may be required to support field testing, demonstrations, customer activities, payload integrations, or other program needs.\nA valid driver's license and ability to reliably travel between work locations are required.\nSecurity & Program Requirements\nDue to the nature of the systems, customers, and programs supported by this position:\nCandidates must be able to successfully complete applicable background screening.\nCandidates must be eligible to obtain and maintain a U.S. Government security clearance when required.\nSome work may involve controlled, proprietary, export-controlled, or otherwise sensitive technical information.\nCandidates are expected to comply with
