Mission Operations Specialist (Product)

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. The Mission Operations Specialist sits at the point where our vessels meet the customer. You plan and run ASV missions, provide on-site technical support to DoD partners during integration and operations, and coordinate the projects and programs that carry that work from concept to delivery. This role requires frequent travel to partner and customer locations, domestically and internationally, up to 80% of the time. You will work closely with team members, stakeholders, and other departments to ensure successful delivery of assigned project and program objectives. Projects are defined as work that ends with the delivery of an expected outcome or end date. E.g. payload integration and demonstration of function. Programs are defined as longer, less terminal workstreams such as ongoing product improvement and development roadmaps. E.g. supporting the ongoing development and testing of a vessel such as Corsair.
