Job description

Role

Senior Process Engineer

Location

San Diego, CA (in-office)

Salary Range

$120,000 - $160,000 / yr + stock options, 401k matching, and other benefits

Role Overview

Seasats designs and deploys unmanned surface vessels that operate at sea for months at a time. As we scale production, this role will design and own the manufacturing processes, documentation, and data that turn a validated design into a repeatable, high-quality build, from process routings and work instructions in our MES, that keep our lines running smoothly. If you’re a process-minded engineer who loves designing the systems and documentation that make production repeatable at scale, this role is for you.

Role Details

Designing and developing manufacturing processes, operation sequences, and process routings, and maintaining them in our MES

Translating engineering drawings, GD&T, and BOMs into clear, visual work instructions and standard operating procedures for production

Identifying and implementing process controls that verify functional requirements and design intent, including methods to screen for potential failure modes

Collecting and analyzing manufacturing data, such as cycle time, yield, and defect rates, to identify bottlenecks and prioritize continuous improvement

Leading root cause analysis and corrective/preventive action on manufacturing and process non-conformances

Owning process transition from prototype through new product introduction (NPI) to full-rate production, partnering with cross-functional engineering teams

About You

A Bachelor’s degree or relevant coursework in manufacturing, mechanical, industrial engineering, or a related technical field

5+ years of relevant process engineering experience in a manufacturing or production environment (aerospace, defense, or maritime industry a plus)

Skilled at reading and interpreting engineering drawings and GD&T

Comfortable working with MES, ERP, or PLM systems to own process routings and documentation

Proficient analyzing manufacturing data (Excel, Power BI, Minitab, or similar) to drive decisions

Comfortable operating in a startup environment where processes may not be fully established, with enthusiasm for helping build solid foundations

You work quickly, adapt, and thrive in a fast-paced, high-growth culture

You enjoy sharing knowledge and best practices with colleagues, even without formal mentoring or people-management responsibilities

Due to export control requirements applicable to this position, we are only able to consider U.S. persons, as defined by U.S. export control laws. This includes U.S. citizens, lawful permanent residents, and individuals granted asylee or refugee status.

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:

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
