    Seasats

    Principal engineer job in San Diego, CA

    Role: Senior Electronics Engineer Salary: $150,000-200,000 / yr + stock options, 401k matching, relocation assistance within the U.S. (if applicable), and other benefits. This is an exciting opportunity to be deeply involved in designing and building systems for a scaling fleet of oceangoing robots. Seasats has dozens of autonomous vehicles in customer hands across the globe and we're in the process of 10xing our vehicle production and deployment rates. We're looking for an experienced Electronics Engineer who has a knack for reliably delivering quality solutions when on a tight timeline. Role Details: You'll report directly to our CTO and will work with other testing, R&D, and production teams. As you ramp up, you'll eventually be responsible for large projects that will span power systems, communications hardware, customer payloads and more. Some revisions and features will be glamorous and rewarding; others will be time-consuming and low-visibility to most of the team, though still vitally important. Our customers depend on our vehicles to complete high value (and at times dangerous) missions. The reliability of the systems that you'll be designing is critical, so you'll need to independently balance a fast development pace with attention to detail, quality, and manufacturability. Development speed is one of our core focuses at Seasats, so a typical project might look like this: Rapidly understand the project's design goals and key constraints Quickly lay out the key building blocks and communicate them in design meetings Identify the highest risk items and initially focus on rapidly derisking them We often kick off these steps early and then carry on with parallel development so that if things go well we're two steps ahead. The cost to this is that you'll occasionally have to throw some work in the trash Design and execute a test plan to find issues and demonstrate functionality. Our systems are exposed to a variety of conditions in the field, so selecting test parameters that address compound worst-case scenarios is an important part of the design and test processes Communicate findings and document outcomes in a practical manner Refine the design as needed Document how the production team should build the system, run it by the electronics production lead, and help the production team build first articles In some cases, design test assemblies for the QA team to use About You: You've been designing, building, debugging, and hacking electrical systems (PCBs, cable systems, sensors) for years You've worked on difficult technical projects as part of a team You're able to work autonomously You have a keen understanding of deadlines and time constraints and modulate your methodology accordingly You've produced documentation for board assembly, to facilitate firmware development, and to communicate systems designs to company leadership You've designed an electrical system that has been produced in quantities of 50+ units You have experience with Altium Designer You're comfortable reviewing other teammates' schematics, asking questions, and giving feedback. You're also comfortable having your work reviewed, answering questions, and receiving feedback You enjoy working with other people in a tight knit high performance team This is an excellent opportunity to do high impact work, see your hardware go into live field robotics applications, and join a fun and hard working team on the cutting edge of ocean autonomy. Whether you're a new grad or a 30 year industry vet, we expect an open-minded learning attitude from everyone at Seasats. About Seasats: At Seasats, we're passionate about delivering maritime robotics solutions to redefine the maritime industry. Our primary products are autonomous surface vehicles (ASVs), designed to carry sensors at sea for months at a time. Our ASVs provide persistent monitoring and data acquisition to defense, scientific, and commercial customers, and have autonomously crossed both the Pacific and Atlantic oceans. After thousands of years in which the only way to gather information from the ocean was to put people on a boat, these uncrewed vessels are transforming how humanity monitors and interacts with the ocean. Here, you'll find the space and opportunity to do your life's best work. Along with your salary, you'll receive perks including: Stock options Competitive insurance (including a 99% employer-covered Gold HMO plan or other options) 401k matching up to 4% of salary Four free lunches per week An employee activity fund A pet-friendly office Unlimited/Flex PTO Hiring Notes: When applying, you'll be asked to provide a resume and answer a few screening questions. Please note that we are currently unable to sponsor employment visas, so candidates must be independently authorized to work in the United States. We appreciate diverse perspectives and life experiences, and we're committed to building a team that reflects a wide range of backgrounds. Seasats provides equal employment opportunities to all employees and applicants for employment and prohibits discrimination of any type based on race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy, sexual orientation, or gender identity), national origin, age, disability, genetic information, marital status, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected under federal, state, or local law.
