Duluth, MN (On/Off-Site)
An innovative and fast-growing organization supporting national security missions is seeking a versatile Maritime Technician. This role involves maintaining, deploying, and recovering maritime sensing systems and buoys in Lake Superior and other locations as needed. During the off-season, responsibilities shift to supporting production through mechanical and electrical fabrication. Occasional travel may be required for training or to support remote operations.
This organization develops and fields operational hardware, software, and data solutions across various levels of classification. They offer competitive compensation, stock options, excellent benefits, and generous paid time off.
Key Responsibilities
This is a hands-on role intended for a jack-of-all-trades technician with a strong emphasis on maritime operations and fieldwork. You will split your time between workshop and on-water tasks.
Typical responsibilities include:
Testing: Perform component, subsystem, and full-system testing in both shop and field settings with limited documentation.
Troubleshooting: Diagnose system issues in both controlled and field environments. Collaborate with engineering teams to obtain required details and improve documentation.
Maritime Operations: Organize and eventually lead deployment, maintenance, and recovery of sensing systems using small boats. A captain’s license is not required, but significant small boat handling experience is essential.
Training: Mentor new technicians and operators as the team grows. Support development of training materials for internal staff and external customers, including military personnel.
Engineering Collaboration: Provide detailed feedback on design, durability, documentation, and maintainability. Over time, serve as the central point of technician feedback to engineering teams.
Mechanical Fabrication: Assist in fabrication and assembly of mechanical components for sensor systems and marine platforms.
Electrical Fabrication: Assemble electrical components, wiring harnesses, and battery packs.
Required Qualifications
Strong attention to detail, safety-first mindset, and commitment to quality
Excellent verbal and solid written communication skills
Hands-on testing experience including system activation, pressure testing, cable verification, visual inspection, and measurement verification
Broad maritime experience including small boat handling, field repair, and at-sea logistics
Physically able to lift, carry, and maneuver equipment on small boats in marine environments
Comfortable with fine manipulations and verbal communication in dynamic operational settings
U.S. Citizenship (required for potential security clearance)
Willingness and eligibility to obtain a SECRET security clearance (at no personal cost)
USCG captain’s license or substantial hands-on experience with small boat operations
Preferred Qualifications
Proficiency with mechanical fabrication: 3D printing, machining, composites, welding, assembly
Experience with electrical fabrication: wiring harnesses, soldering, board repair, battery packs
Prior use of mechanical CAD software (especially SolidWorks)
Familiarity with electrical schematics and harness documentation
Prior leadership or team management experience
Veteran status or strong comfort level interacting with military personnel (enlisted and officer)
