Structures Test Engineer

Structures Test Engineer

Saronic Technologies is a leader in revolutionizing defense autonomy at sea, dedicated to developing state-of-the-art solutions that enhance maritime operations for the Department of Defense (DoD) through autonomous and intelligent platforms.

Overview :

We are seeking a highly motivated Structures Test Engineer to join our advanced maritime mechanical team supporting the development and deployment of autonomous surface vessels (ASVs) for Department of Defense applications. This role involves designing, building, and testing complex mechanical structures and fluid systems that support full-scale and sub-scale vessel test campaigns in dynamic, real-world environments.

This is a hands-on, multidisciplinary engineering role that supports a wide range of structural development efforts-from component testing to full-scale system validation-critical to enabling autonomy in naval operations.

Responsibilities

• Develop and execute test stand concepts, fabrication drawings, wiring schematics, and instrumentation lists tailored to maritime platforms
• Design, analyze, and validate structural systems, fluid systems, and dynamic mechanisms for ASV subsystems
• Supervise the build, integration, and commissioning of structural test setups, including mechanical fabrication and instrumentation
• Lead and execute rigorous mechanical and structural testing of marine components and systems, often in outdoor, field-based conditions
• Collaborate with naval architects, autonomy engineers, and control systems teams to ensure test fidelity and relevance to mission performance
• Maintain meticulous records of test data, design changes, and test reports to support traceability for DoD certification and reporting
