Role Overview Seasats is deploying autonomous surface vehicles (ASVs) worldwide. To keep this fleet operating smoothly and effectively, we’re adding to our growing team of full‑time field operators. Missions have taken them to every continent except Antarctica (so far). If you join in this role, you’ll learn from our existing team of experts, work alongside military and civilian sailors and technology professionals, and become a highly skilled part of the fleet of the future. You’ll work odd hours, travel around the world, and experience both the stress and the rewards of being at the cutting edge of an industry revolution.

About You If you’re someone who likes traveling a lot, doing a job well, working with a kickass team, tinkering with technology, being around the ocean, and interacting with new people, this could be a dream job for you. If you have a tendency to get frustrated with technology, smash your keyboard, throw things, or swear loudly and angrily when things go wrong, this job is not for you. If you have serious commitments to a fixed geographic location, this would also be a poor fit.

An effective written and verbal communicator in all sorts of settings

Able to work well with others, take orders, or operate independently as needed

This position will require you to travel away from home and even outside the United States for long periods of time. For every week you’re away from home you’ll earn vacation allowances and travel bonuses. Seasats also provides a travel stipend while you’re on the road.
