Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs in Austin, TX

Lead production engineering to establish and scale shipyard manufacturing: define build strategies, block construction, heavy-lift and transport engineering, production processes, and a Facilities Production Manual. Translate vessel designs into manufacturable work packages, support facility startup and industrialization, drive process standardization, and collaborate across engineering, operations, automation, and facilities to ensure predictable production flow.

Lead development and execution of electrical test strategies across boards, subsystems, and systems. Design and build ATE, create automated test scripts, specify instrumentation, run functional/environmental/regression/reliability tests, perform root cause analysis, ensure requirements traceability, and collaborate with cross-functional teams to transition validation into production and field support.

Design physical forms and identities for autonomous maritime systems. Develop surface models and renderings, define CMF, build visual prototypes, and collaborate with engineering and fabrication to ensure manufacturability and aesthetic consistency.

Design, implement, and deploy software for autonomous maritime platforms and edge devices. Work on navigation, perception, control, sensor integration, and networking. Build APIs and interfaces to onboard hardware and cloud services, collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams, and support field tests and government demonstrations.

Create detailed electrical schematics and harness assembly drawings using Zuken E3 and NX, collaborate with engineers, ensure compliance with industry/military standards, support harness construction and integration, manage documentation, and communicate with stakeholders.

Lead R&D, design, integration, and testing of maritime acoustic sensing systems (sonar, hydrophones, acoustic modems). Conduct benchmarking, sea trials, trade studies, analog front-end and DAQ design, signal conditioning, and documentation. Collaborate across autonomy, software, and mechanical teams; mentor junior engineers and support safety, reliability, and environmental qualification.

Lead design, specification, and validation of ruggedized electrical and electronic systems for autonomous maritime platforms. Develop requirements, schematics, power and network architectures, select components, run trade studies, support prototyping and at-sea testing, author documentation, and mentor junior engineers.

Lead R&D, evaluation, benchmarking, and integration of EO/IR (visible, thermal, multispectral) camera systems for autonomous maritime platforms. Design electrical interfaces, perform performance and environmental testing, prototype and field-test installations, execute trade studies, author technical documentation, and mentor junior engineers while collaborating with autonomy, software, and mechanical teams.

Lead electrical infrastructure design, standards, and construction for industrial facilities. Own project programming, equipment sizing, RFPs, third-party design reviews, field commissioning, and small-project design management; travel ~10%.

Design, implement, and optimize software systems for autonomous surface vessels (using NixOS). Integrate with hardware, implement control and sensor-fusion algorithms, optimize low-bandwidth/high-latency communications, test and validate software, debug complex issues, participate in code reviews, and document designs and test results for reliable maritime operations.
