Own and ship reliable electronics for unmanned surface vehicles, balancing power, communications, and payload systems while debugging hardware in demanding, remote environments.
Role: Senior Electronics Engineer
Location: San Diego, CA (in-office)
Salary: $150,000 - $200,000 / yr + stock options, 401k matching, relocation assistance within the U.S. (if applicable), and other benefits
Role Overview:
Seasats operates a growing fleet of unmanned surface vehicles around the world, and we’re rapidly scaling production and deployment. We’re hiring an experienced Senior Electronics Engineer to own and ship reliable hardware across power, communications, and payload systems.
You’ll work closely with engineering and production teams to deliver systems that operate in demanding and remote environments for long durations. The systems you build are difficult to access once deployed, so reliability and judgment matter. This role will require balancing speed, reliability, and manufacturability while taking responsibility for pragmatic tradeoffs.
Role Details:
This role spans electronic hardware design, battery systems, communications, and power architecture. You’ll take systems from concept through deployment, with a focus on hardware that works reliably outside controlled environments.
Work is iterative and fast-paced – you’ll prioritize high-risk areas early, make progress with incomplete information, and revisit or discard designs as needed to stay on track.

This is an excellent opportunity to do high impact work, see your hardware go into live field robotics applications, and join a fun and hard working team on the cutting edge of ocean autonomy. Whether you’re a new grad or a 30 year industry vet, we expect an open-minded learning attitude from everyone at Seasats.
About Seasats:
At Seasats, we're passionate about delivering maritime robotics solutions to redefine the maritime industry. Our primary products are unmanned surface vessels (USVs), designed to carry sensors at sea for months at a time. Our USVs provide persistent monitoring and data acquisition to defense, scientific, and commercial customers, and have autonomously crossed both the Pacific and Atlantic oceans. After thousands of years in which the only way to gather information from the ocean was to put people on a boat, these uncrewed vessels are transforming how humanity monitors and interacts with the ocean. Here, you’ll find the space and opportunity to do your life’s best work.
Along with your salary, you’ll receive perks including:
