TL;DR · Support Systems Lead

Support Systems Lead, Seabed Sentry joins the Maritime Division to lead the technical and physical architecture for the service, maintenance, refurbishment, and mass deployment of a novel maritime product. This player-coach role involves designing support systems for large fleets of stationary, long-dwell subsea autonomous systems. You will architect infrastructure for low-logistic recovery, firmware updates, and field maintenance while building out a dedicated team to scale operations. The role requires expertise in systems engineering, mechanical systems, and the design of optimized launch and recovery equipment. Key responsibilities include managing requirements for support hardware, developing customer training curricula, and coordinating with logistics and field teams. Candidates must possess a strong hardware foundation to solve physical problems related to subsea assets in harsh environments, ensuring integrated end-to-end capabilities for autonomous systems deployed at scale.

What you'll do

  • Architect and lead the development of a holistic support system for subsea asset maintenance, refurbishment, and mass deployment.
  • Act as the primary technical engineer for support systems while recruiting and building out a dedicated team.
  • Manage requirements for fielded equipment including handling tools, shipping logistics, and remote monitoring systems.
  • Develop strategies for customer training and "train-the-trainer" curricula in a modern technology environment.
  • Collaborate with customers to define concepts of employment for large-scale autonomous subsea operations.
  • Identify and manage critical infrastructure requirements such as maintenance depots, test sites, and refurbishment facilities.
  • Work directly with operators and test teams to design and scope future support and testing infrastructure.
  • Own critical interfaces between system elements to deliver a fully integrated end-to-end capability.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor’s degree in Systems, Marine, Mechanical, or Electrical Engineering, or equivalent relevant experience.
  • Experience in systems engineering or task leadership roles involving system-level architecture and test infrastructure.
  • Strong hardware and mechanical foundation for designing complex physical systems in harsh environments like subsea or marine settings.
  • Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. Security clearance.
  • Proven ability to work in fast-paced startup environments with high ownership and self-starting capabilities.
  • Experience building, hiring, and managing technical teams in rapid-growth environments.
  • Understanding of unmanned system architectures, reliability, and the physical realities of subsea hardware longevity.
  • Ability to travel 25% of the time to customer and test sites.
