  • Conduct pre-mission and post-mission inspections and maintenance checks
  • Support vehicle launch and recovery operations from small boats and shore-based platforms
  • Diagnose and resolve issues in real time during on-water test events and customer demonstrations
  • Maintain parts inventory, tooling, and shop consumables needed to keep vehicles mission-ready
  • Document maintenance actions, discrepancies, and repairs in test and maintenance logs
  • Support packaging, staging, and transport of vehicles and support equipment to test sites

Requirements
Required Qualifications:
  • High school diploma or equivalent; technical or trade school training, or an Associate's degree in a relevant field, preferred
  • 3 or more years of hands-on mechanical maintenance experience, in marine, automotive, or a related field
  • Working knowledge of small boat engines, hydraulic systems, and basic electrical troubleshooting
  • Comfortable working on and around the water, including boat operations and outdoor field conditions
  • Proficiency with common hand tools and power tools
  • Able to lift 50 pounds and perform physical work in a shop and marine field environment

Benefits
We offer a flexible ICHRA (Individual Coverage Health Reimbursement Arrangement) plan, giving employees the freedom to choose their own health coverage through an online shopping platform. Each employee receives a $750 stipend to put toward their plan, and the funds can also be used toward other eligible health expenses. This approach lets you tailor your coverage to fit your individual needs rather than a one-size-fits-all option.
Compensation: $95,000 - $155,000, commensurate with experience.
