This is a full-time temporary position with the ability to convert to permanent employment. 
What you'll do:

• Vessel Operations: Safely operate and navigate small, jet-drive vessels for nearshore UUV testing. Adjust speed, heading, and positioning to account for shifting winds, currents, tides, and underwater topography
• Assist the engineering team with the safe launching, towing, and recovery of UUVs. Maintain a precise, stationary hover or slow-speed maneuverability to avoid damage to autonomous vehicles
• Perform pre-departure and post-voyage inspections. Execute operator-level troubleshooting and preventative maintenance on vessel, engines, and waterjet propulsion systems
• Maintain continuous situational awareness. Monitor onboard navigation and communication systems (RADAR, GPS, VHF). Ensure all operations strictly adhere to HSE and Coast Guard regulations
• Log mission parameters, vessel performance data, and environmental observations into daily test reports

What you need:

• Minimum 3-5 years of experience operating small to mid-sized jet-drive vessels (e.g., Hamilton or Doen drives) in dynamic marine environments
• Valid USCG Merchant Mariner Credential (MMC) - Master 50/100 Ton or OUPV preferred
• Basic mechanical proficiency and hands-on experience maintaining marine engines and propulsion systems
• Familiarity with U.S. Navy UUV programs, unmanned systems, and in-water testing procedures is highly desired
• Strong problem-solving abilities, excellent team coordination, and the ability to adapt to fast-paced field testing schedules
• Must be US Citizen. This position may require the ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. Security Clearance
• Must be able to work extended hours on the water, potentially in adverse weather and sea conditions
• Ability to climb ladders, work in confined spaces, and lift/carry heavy gear up to 50 lbs
• Willingness to travel to remote test sites or spend consecutive days at sea aboard host vessels as mission requirements dictate
• Ability to work in the office at the Wakefield, RI facility with a flexible 9/80 schedule
