Location:
United States (San Diego, CA preferred)
Salary:
$75,000 base, travel bonuses ranging from $20,000-$40,000/yr + stock options, 401k matching, and other benefits
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.
Responsibilities
Completing deployments of up to two continuous months at Navy bases and other sites around the world
Interfacing with Navy, Coast Guard, and other personnel, and passing on key information to the San Diego team
Launching and recovering ASVs
Remotely monitoring and controlling ASVs via a computer or phone during missions
Sharing bugs and feature requests with the San Diego development team to improve operations
Using electronic devices and maps to plan missions, taking into account weather and other variables
Traveling regularly to San Diego to learn about new vehicle features and maintenance/operations procedures
Completing contracting requirements such as daily status updates via Slack, email, or Signal
Occasional nighttime operations
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.
You’ll Need To Be
Responsible and good humored
Comfortable working under pressure, teaching people, and responding rapidly and decisively to new information
An effective written and verbal communicator in all sorts of settings
Able to work well with others, take orders, or operate independently as needed
Excited to travel to new parts of the world for extended periods of time
A quick learner and a patient troubleshooter
Happy working with laptops, tablets, phones, and other technology
Able to manage time well, but comfortable working long hours and willing to stick around until the job is done
Handy with hand tools and basic wrenching, screw drivers, etc.
Safety conscious
Resourceful, confident, and capable enough to get the job done even if plan A goes south
Ready to do strenuous physical activity and handle heavy equipment in all sorts of weather conditions
In possession of a valid driver’s license with no restrictions and comfortable driving in unfamiliar locations
Nice to Have (But Not Essential)
Experience on the ocean or around boats (strong plus)
Experience driving small boats
Experience driving autonomous boats
Prior military service
Experience working with kids or teaching
Skill with RC vehicles and/or video games
Familiarity with basic networking, electronics, or software troubleshooting
Experience driving a forklift
Experience with Word, Excel, and/or PowerPoint
Travel and Work Conditions We’ll require a 2‑4 week ramp‑up period in San Diego, after which you’ll spend an additional 4‑6 weeks per year in San Diego throughout a typical work year. 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.
