Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs in Austin, TX

Lead a team designing, integrating, and validating perception hardware (cameras, radar, LiDAR, GPS, optical systems) for autonomous surface vessels. Manage design, packaging, calibration, environmental hardening, testing, vendor engagement, production readiness, and cross-functional delivery while mentoring engineers and ensuring technical rigor.

Develop and maintain dimensional control systems for large ship structures, establish measurement standards and tolerances, implement metrology (laser scanning, total stations), integrate as-built data with digital models, support production for accurate block assembly and erection, perform root-cause analysis of fit-up issues, and coordinate with welding, QA, and design teams to reduce rework and ensure predictable modular construction.

Serve as strategic HR advisor to assigned departments: coach managers on org design, performance, employee relations, retention, succession planning, and develop workforce strategies. Lead engagement, feedback, and change initiatives; use HRIS and data to inform decisions and ensure compliance with labor laws.

Lead company-wide FP&A: budgeting, forecasting, consolidated reporting, variance analysis, financial modeling, executive reporting, scenario and capital allocation analysis, partnering with business leaders and accounting to drive scalable planning and decision-making.

Develop and execute multimodal logistics strategies, manage trade compliance (ITAR/DFARS/EAR), select and integrate TMS, build KPI dashboards, lead supplier negotiations, manage a logistics team, and drive continuous improvement for global manufacturing and mission support.

Design, prototype, integrate, and test electro-mechanical and software systems for autonomous surface vehicles. Perform CAD, FEA, field and lab testing, data analysis, documentation, and lead marine deployments to validate system performance and reliability.

Develop and maintain software across embedded, systems, and application layers for autonomous maritime platforms. Interface with sensors, actuators, networking, and onboard compute. Design distributed services, improve performance, reliability, and observability, and support lab and field testing alongside cross-functional teams.

Manage schedules, budgets, logistics, and requirements for Forward Deployed Engineering projects; coordinate field operations, vendor contracts, BOMs, and cross-functional stakeholders; run design reviews, track risks and resource constraints, and improve operational processes to scale international deployments.

Develop, deploy, and debug autonomy, networking, and mission software for autonomous surface vessels. Integrate sensors and hardware, analyze field data to improve performance, troubleshoot systems during deployments, and work with operators to adapt systems to mission needs.

Lead structural analysis and design for autonomous surface vessels, performing hand calculations and FEA (meshing, post-processing), stress/fatigue analysis, testing/validation, documentation, and cross-functional collaboration while mentoring junior engineers.
