Job description

Join OceanComm’s Manufacturing & Test team and help build undersea drones, intelligent sensors, and other cutting-edge undersea technology. This role is for students in electronics, electromechanical technology, mechatronics, or related technical programs who want to build a career in electronics manufacturing. You’ll start with substantial hands-on assembly, soldering, rework, inspection, troubleshooting, and production testing. As you develop, you’ll have opportunities to take on greater responsibility for manufacturing processes, test equipment, quality, and production operations. You’ll work closely with experienced engineers and technicians, receive training, and contribute to products used in defense, offshore energy, and oceanographic research. Strong performers will be considered for full-time roles on our Manufacturing & Test team after graduation.

About Us

Underwater, the wireless transfer of a single picture used to take an hour. We brought to market wireless modems that transfer data 100 to 1000 times faster. Legacy modems were basically status/command links; our modems can control undersea drones with live video feedback, a game changer for exploring the underwater world. Because radio waves attenuate quickly underwater, our modems use sound waves to communicate.

What You Will Do

  • Assemble, solder, rework, inspect, and test circuit board assemblies (PCBAs) and electro-mechanical hardware as part of regular production
  • Build and test complete modems using documented procedures and quality standards
  • Troubleshoot failed assemblies and perform rework under the guidance of experienced technicians and engineers
  • Machine mounts and housings using CAD/CAM software and a CNC mill
  • Help test modems and integrated systems at sea
  • Help automate our manufacturing operations using software-defined measurement equipment and collaborative robots
  • Handle multiple priorities, organize workload, and meet deadlines
  • Participate in continuous improvement activities and suggest ways we can improve our manufacturing operations
  • Help build a positive and collaborative team culture that promotes product knowledge and skills development
  • Keep the workspace clean, organized, and safe for yourself and your colleagues

Requirements

  • Progress toward an associate degree in Electronics, Electromechanical Technology, Mechatronics, or a related technical field, with an emphasis on microelectronics
  • Significant hands-on experience in electronics assembly and soldering through coursework, projects, or work
  • Willingness to learn and expand your skillset in surface mount soldering and rework, PCBA troubleshooting, machining, and computer scripts
  • Willing to travel up to 20% of the time
  • Ability to work on a boat to deploy and operate modems at-sea
  • Ability to lift 35 lbs regularly
  • U.S. Person

What Will Put You Ahead

  • Experience in surface mount soldering and rework of small pitch components
  • Experience troubleshooting PCBAs using standard electrical test equipment such as oscilloscopes, power supplies, and digital multimeters
  • Proficiency in reading and interpreting complex PCB schematics, mechanical drawings, equipment specs and test procedures
  • Experience working with electrical systems up to 400 VDC
  • Experience with computer-aided design, 3D printing, and/or machining
  • Experience developing computer scripts, for example, to interface with lab equipment or automate tests

Benefits

  • Close mentorship and continuous professional training
  • Flexible work schedule with core hours
  • Access to advanced manufacturing equipment, including a CNC mill, collaborative robots, and a range of 3D printers

Compensation

The pay range for this position is $22–$30 per hour. Actual pay will depend on the candidate’s experience and skills demonstrated during interviews and other evaluations.

OceanComm is an Equal Opportunity Employer, including disability/vet.
