Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs in Austin, TX

Lead build and integration for autonomous surface vessels, bridging design and production. Design and optimize vessel structures/systems, manage CAD models, coordinate ECOs, resolve non-conformances, support integration of autonomy, participate in design reviews, and support sea-trials and regulatory documentation.

Lead technical direction for mechanical engineering across perception hardware, marine systems, integration, and structures. Resolve complex design and analysis issues, guide reviews and tests, improve designs and validation strategies, partner cross-functionally to deliver manufacturable, reliable autonomous surface vessel hardware, and mentor engineering teams.

Design and deliver PCB schematics and layouts from concept to production for high-reliability systems. Own component selection, schematic capture, placement, routing, DFM/DFT, prototype bring-up, testing, and documentation while ensuring EMI/EMC, thermal, and signal integrity compliance and collaborating with mechanical, firmware, and manufacturing teams.

Provide high-level administrative support to leadership including calendar and travel management, stakeholder communication, meeting coordination and minute-taking, expense tracking, document management, and ad hoc projects while maintaining strict confidentiality in a fast-paced startup environment.

Design, test, and implement electrical systems for autonomous vessels. Support prototyping, design for manufacturability, resolve manufacturing discrepancies, participate in reviews, source vendors, and drive system-level reliability and manufacturability improvements.

Lead full lifecycle M&A and strategic investment activities: source targets, run diligence, build valuation and financial models, negotiate and close deals, integrate acquisitions, and present recommendations to senior leadership while collaborating across functional teams.

Create and maintain detailed 3D models and 2D production drawings (GD&T, tolerances, materials) for marine/defense mechanical systems. Support design for manufacturability, maintain CAD libraries, collaborate with engineers and fabricators, iterate from field test feedback, and ensure compliance with DoD/MIL-SPEC requirements for prototyping and production.

Produce and maintain clear, standards-compliant technical documentation for autonomous surface vessels by collaborating with engineers and product teams, translating complex technical concepts for end users, and updating materials per feedback and DoD guidelines.

Manage and coordinate People organization projects (People, Comp, Talent, Workplace, EHS, Security). Maintain schedules, track resources, mitigate risks, monitor budgets, report status, and ensure quality and stakeholder alignment.

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.
