The successful candidate will work, * 1-4 years of experience in systems support, integration, field engineering, test engineering, robotics, embedded systems, IT/OT, or a related technical role. * Strong hands-on troubleshooting skills across hardware, software, networking, power, wiring, and configuration. * Working familiarity with Linux, SSH, command-line tools, logs, and basic system configuration. * Basic networking knowledge including IP addressing, Ethernet, DHCP, and static IP configuration. * Ability to use a multimeter and troubleshoot basic low-voltage DC electrical systems. * Comfortable physically working on electronics and equipment aboard small vessels. * Ability to read wiring diagrams, network diagrams, technical manuals, and interface documentation. * U.S. citizenship and ability to obtain and maintain a DoD security clearance. * Ability to travel up to 50%. Preferred Qualifications * Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, Computer Science, Robotics, IT, or similar. * Experience with USVs, UAS, UGVs, robotics, marine electronics, defense, aerospace, automotive, or other complex integrated systems. * Experience with NVIDIA Jetson, Raspberry Pi, or other embedded Linux systems. * Familiarity with radar, cameras, GNSS/INS, Starlink, RF communications, CAN, NMEA 2000, or serial interfaces. * Experience with ArduPilot, ArduRover, PX4, MAVLink, or Pixhawk. * Experience with Wireshark or similar troubleshooting tools. * Experience with field testing, demonstrations, commissioning, or deployed systems. Travel & Working Conditions * Up to 50% travel, including customer sites, test ranges, partner locations, and potential OCONUS travel. * Early starts, extended days, and occasional weekend work may be required around test events. * Must be comfortable working aboard vessels, outdoors, dockside, and in shop/test environments. * Must be able to kneel, crouch, climb, access installed equipment, and lift approximately 25 lbs. Physical Requirements and Working Environment This role combines office and laboratory work with hands-on vessel integration and outdoor testing. * Ability to manually lift and carry equipment and materials weighing up to 50 pounds. * Ability to crawl, kneel, crouch, bend, climb, and work in confined or awkward spaces while installing, inspecting, and servicing equipment on and around vessels. * Ability to safely board and move around boats, docks, and uneven or wet surfaces. * Comfortable working outdoors and in marine environments, including dockside activities and on-water testing. * Occasional travel and schedule flexibility may be required to support trials and demonstrations. Background Check This position will require successfully completing a post-offer background check. Qualified candidates with a criminal history will be considered and are not automatically disqualified, consistent with federal and state law. ## Description The focus of this position is system diagnosis and troubleshooting. This engineer is expected to approach problems methodically, determine whether a failure originates in software, configuration, networking, power, wiring, hardware, or an interface between systems, and drive the issue through verification and resolution. This is a hands-on role. The engineer should be equally comfortable working from a Linux terminal, checking device connectivity, reviewing logs, and validating configurations as they are using a multimeter, inspecting wiring, replacing hardware, or working aboard a vessel during integration and test. Key Responsibilities * Diagnose and resolve faults across USV onboard systems, including compute, sensors, communications, cameras, radar, GNSS, autopilot hardware, vessel networks, and supporting electronics. * Perform structured troubleshooting of hardware, software, configuration, networking, power, wiring, sensor, and system-integration issues. * Determine root cause rather than relying solely on component swapping or temporary workarounds. * Support vessel system checkout before testing, demonstrations, deliveries, and customer events. * Verify that onboard systems are communicating, configured correctly, and operating as expected prior to deployment. Ft. Pierce, FL (On-site / In person) * Review system logs, service status, device health, and other diagnostic information to isolate failures. * Troubleshoot Linux-based onboard computers and embedded systems using tools such as SSH, command-line utilities, logs, and system services. * Perform basic network troubleshooting involving IP addressing, Ethernet connectivity, static IPs, DHCP, switches, and device-to-device communications. * Perform low-voltage DC electrical troubleshooting using a multimeter, including verification of power, continuity, grounding, fuses, relays, connectors, and wiring. * Identify recurring system issues and work with engineering teams to develop durable corrective actions.
