Role

Electronics Assembly Technician

Location

San Diego, CA (in‑office)

Salary

$65,000‑85,000/yr + stock options, 401k matching, relocation assistance within the U.S. (if applicable), and other benefits.

Role Overview

Seasats is looking for a skilled, build‑savvy Electronics Production Technician to join our team as we accelerate manufacturing of our maritime vehicles. In this position, you will be responsible for supporting the build / assembly of the vehicle's cable harness, motor, sensors, batteries, and antennas. As a member of the electronics team, you'll make critical contributions alongside other experienced technicians and engineers.

Role Details

Your daily responsibilities will depend on your specific skills and our production phase. As examples, you might expect some of the following tasks:

• Measuring, cutting, and terminating wires to build vehicle cable harnesses
• Conducting quality control checks on your and other people's work
• Documenting production processes and identifying areas for efficiency improvements
• Potting waterproof assemblies

It won't always be glamorous work; you may sometimes need to hunker down and spend a week splicing solar panel cables. You will, however, be part of a fun and hardworking team, quickly see your work deployed in the field, and have a hand in developing and improving the production process. Finally, you'll also receive a competitive salary, health insurance, stock options, and other perks that go along with being part of a rapidly growing ocean tech company.

About You

• Advanced soldering and cable splicing skills (minimum of 5 years / IPC certification preferred)
• General electrical assembly experience (stripping cable jackets, tinning wires, crimping Molex connectors, SMD soldering)
• Keen interest in building an organized, well‑documented production process
• Enough patience, finger dexterity, and attention to detail to correctly terminate 12 or more 20/22 AWG wires into a connector
• Communication skills, teamwork, and humility
• Experience with potting, epoxies, and adhesives

Life at Seasats

Along with your salary, you'll receive perks including:

• Stock options
• Competitive insurance (including a 99% employer‑covered Gold HMO plan or other options)
• 401k matching up to 4% of salary
• Four free lunches per week
• An employee activity fund
• A pet‑friendly office
• Unlimited/Flex PTO

We'll help you ramp up and will regularly take time to discuss what's working and what's not. We're also big on personal freedoms: if you're on top of your responsibilities and want the afternoon off to surf or spend time with friends and family, go for it! We have flexible hours, accommodating PTO, and a personable, high‑achieving work culture. We want someone who is excited to work hard and have fun in this environment.

Our values are listed below; we are happy to explain them more during the interview process.

• Get Stuff Done
• Be Kind
• Fight Entropy
• Attack with Overwhelming Force
• Ask More Questions
• Lines, Not Dots
