Providing the most advanced and capable autonomous vessels in the maritime domain. Backed by Bessemer, General Catalyst and Kleiner Perkins.
About the role
You will join the team responsible for keeping Saronic's Medium Unmanned Surface Vessel (MUSV) platforms mission-ready: low-signature, autonomous vessels built to move critical supplies across contested littoral environments without a sailor on board.
What they're looking for
- Bachelor's degree in marine engineering, mechanical engineering, or a related field, or equivalent operational experience
- Minimum: valid U.S. Coast Guard Third Assistant Engineer license (unlimited horsepower, oceans) with an unrestricted STCW endorsement as Officer in Charge of an Engineering Watch (OICEW), STCW Regulation III/1
- Experience maintaining marine propulsion, electrical, or mechanical systems aboard vessels in the U.S. Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, Merchant Marine, or Special Operations (internship, co-op, or military training experience considered)
- Experience maintaining unmanned surface vessels (USVs), autonomous systems, or remotely operated maritime platforms is a plus
- Working knowledge of diesel and/or electric propulsion systems, hydraulics, marine electrical systems, and shipboard control/automation systems
- Familiarity with GPS-denied or communications-degraded system architectures is a plus
More about this role
Saronic Technologies is a leader in revolutionizing autonomy at sea, dedicated to developing state-of-the-art solutions that enhance maritime operations through autonomous and intelligent platforms.
You will join the team responsible for keeping Saronic's Medium Unmanned Surface Vessel (MUSV) platforms mission-ready: low-signature, autonomous vessels built to move critical supplies across contested littoral environments without a sailor on board. As a Sustainment Engineer, you'll support the propulsion, electrical, hydraulic, and hull systems that keep these platforms running, help diagnose and repair faults in the field under the guidance of senior engineers, and assist in training military technicians to sustain the platforms long-term. This role sits at the intersection of field maintenance and product development. Your hands-on findings from vessel maintenance and the waterline help inform how these platforms are engineered for reliability. The ideal candidate brings a foundational marine or mechanical engineering background, hands-on comfort with autonomous systems, and the ability to communicate clearly with both technicians and engineers.
