• Role Overview The Junior Electrical Integration Technician supports the hands-on build, installation, and testing of low-voltage electrical systems across Marcurius unmanned maritime platforms.
• Working from engineering drawings and work instructions, this role fabricates wire harnesses, installs power, sensor, network, communications, and autonomy hardware, and helps ensure reliable, production-quality integration in harsh marine environments. Key Responsibilities Fabricate, label, route, terminate, and inspect low-voltage wire harnesses and cable assemblies for marine and unmanned-system applications.
• Install and wire 12V/24V power distribution, batteries, circuit protection, grounding, sensors, autonomy hardware, communications equipment, Ethernet, and CAN bus components.
• Perform connector assembly, soldering, heat shrinking, weather sealing, and light- and heavy-gauge crimping using approved tools and methods.
• Route and secure cabling through vessel spaces while maintaining bend radius, strain relief, chafe protection, serviceability, and marine durability.
• Read and follow schematics, pinout tables, cable schedules, wiring diagrams, engineering drawings, and work instructions.
• Conduct continuity, pinout, voltage, resistance, and ground checks; identify wiring or component faults and support troubleshooting and rework.
• Maintain accurate cable labels, build records, test results, parts usage, and rework documentation.
• Support prototype builds, vessel integration, sea-trial preparation, post-trial inspection, and safe, organized workshop operations.
• Required Qualifications High school diploma or equivalent and at least 1 year of hands-on electrical assembly, wire-harness, installation, or technician experience in a marine, automotive, robotics, industrial, or similar environment.
• Basic understanding of low-voltage DC systems, including wiring, connectors, fuses, circuit breakers, batteries, grounding, and circuit protection.
• Ability to use crimpers, wire strippers, soldering tools, heat guns, hand tools, and digital multimeters safely and accurately.
• Ability to read and follow electrical schematics, pinouts, wiring diagrams, drawings, and work instructions.
• Strong attention to detail, documentation discipline, and ability to produce neat, reliable, and traceable installations as part of a small technical team.
• Valid driver’s license, reliable transportation, U.S. work authorization, and ability to satisfy applicable defense, security, and export-control requirements.
• Preferred Experience 2–3 years of experience in marine electrical systems, robotics, unmanned systems, custom vehicles, motorsports, prototype builds, or electro-mechanical assembly.
• Experience with marine-grade connectors, sealed harnesses, battery and charging systems, and environmental protection methods.
• Experience installing or troubleshooting sensors, cameras, radios, Ethernet/LAN, autonomy hardware, or communications equipment.
• Familiarity with CAN bus and diagnostic tools such as CANalyzer, Kvaser, PEAK PCAN, Vehicle Spy, or comparable platforms.
• ABYC Electrical Certification, relevant technical-school training, or experience supporting testing, sea trials, production troubleshooting, or rework.
• Work Environment Primarily onsite at Marcurius facilities in Clearwater, Florida, with direct work in workshops, vessels, docks, and field-testing environments.
• The role supports prototype development, electrical integration, and sea-trial preparation in a fast-paced setting with changing priorities and close cooperation across engineering, software, operations, and test teams. Why Marcurius Marcurius is a people-first, execution-focused organization assembling a small, high-impact team of engineers and operators.
• This role offers the opportunity to design and field electrical systems that directly enable real-world maritime missions and help build the technical foundation of a next-generation unmanned systems company. Powered by JazzHR
