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

We are seeking an Electrical/Software Reliability Engineer to drive key electrical & software integration initiatives for our cutting-edge autonomous vessels. In this pivotal role, you will be responsible for ensuring the electrical and software systems that enable autonomy, control, and communications meet reliability and integration requirements. You will lead efforts in electrical architecture design, software- and hardware-in-the-loop (HITL) verification, and failure mode analysis for electronics and embedded systems. Working with electrical, software, and other engineers, you’llidentify reliability drivers, define test requirements, and execute end-to-end full lifecycle system performance verification across mission scenarios and environmental conditions. Your expertise will be crucial in ensuring the reliability and performance of our innovative maritime technology as we advance towards the future of autonomous vessels. 

We know great people don’t always check every box. We also know that confidence gaps and imposter syndrome can hold great people back. If you’re excited about the work we’re doing but you don’t meet every qualification, we still want to hear from you. Some of the best people on our team started this way. We value builders, problem-solvers, and people who learn fast, and we’re far more interested in what you can do next than what’s already on your resume. Your unique experience and perspective might be exactly what our team needs, so we encourage you to apply anyway!
