\nThis role focuses on the research, evaluation, and development of underwater acoustic sensing technologies - including sonar transducers, hydrophones, acoustic modems, and signal processing subsystems - supporting navigation, detection, and situational awareness capabilities for autonomous surface vessels.
\nThe ideal candidate has extensive experience in acoustic system design, integration, and testing within marine or defense environments, and a strong background in hardware evaluation, data analysis, and system trade studies.
\nKey Responsibilities:
\nLead R&D initiatives in maritime acoustic sensing and underwater signal systems for autonomous vessel applications.
\nEvaluate and benchmark acoustic sensors and subsystems (e.g., sonar arrays, hydrophones, acoustic modems, Doppler sensors) across commercial and defense-grade offerings.
\nDesign and execute experiments for acoustic performance testing, calibration, and environmental validation in laboratory and sea-trial conditions.
\nDevelop and analyze trade studies comparing acoustic hardware and architectures to inform system selection, performance optimization, and integration paths.
\nDesign and document system architectures for acoustic data acquisition, amplification, filtering, and digital conversion.
\nCollaborate with autonomy, software, and mechanical teams to integrate acoustic systems into vessel control and perception frameworks.
\nDevelop and validate signal conditioning and analog front-end circuitry for low-noise, high-fidelity acoustic measurements.
\nAuthor detailed R&D documentation, including test reports, design specifications, and performance assessments.
\nContribute to system safety, reliability, and environmental qualification efforts, including compliance with applicable maritime and defense standards.
\nMentor junior engineers and contribute to Saronic’s acoustic sensing roadmap and experimental methodologies.
\nRequired Qualifications:
\nB.S. or M.S. in Electrical Engineering, Acoustics, or related discipline.
\n7+ years of experience in acoustic system design, integration, or testing - preferably in commercial marine, defense, or undersea applications.
\nExpertise with underwater acoustics, including sonar, hydrophones, and acoustic communication systems.
\nExperience in hardware benchmarking, R&D testing, and performance analysis of acoustic sensors and electronics.
\nStrong understanding of signal processing concepts, analog front-end design, and data acquisition systems.
\nFamiliarity with marine environmental factors affecting acoustic propagation (temperature, salinity, depth, and noise).
\nProficiency in schematic design and documentation tools (e.g., Altium, AutoCAD Electrical, or SolidWorks Electrical).
\nHands-on experience with lab instrumentation (oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, data loggers, acoustic test equipment).
\nStrong technical writing and presentation skills, with ability to produce rigorous R&D and evaluation documentation.
\nComfortable working in laboratory, dockside, and sea-trial environments.
\nPreferred Qualifications:
\nExperience developing or integrating active and passive sonar systems for maritime platforms.
\nFamiliarity with acoustic transducer design, impedance matching, and waterproofing methods.
\nKnowledge of marine and defense standards (MIL-STD-167, MIL-STD-461, IEC 60529, etc.).
\nExperience with acoustic modeling software (e.g., COMSOL, MATLAB, BELLHOP, or equivalent).
\nBackground in sensor fusion and data analysis pipelines for multi-sensor acoustic systems.
\nExperience supporting hardware-in-the-loop (HITL) or real-time signal processing systems.
\nBenefits:
\nMedical Insurance: Comprehensive health insurance plans covering a range of services
\nDental and Vision Insurance: Coverage for routine dental check-ups, orthodontics, and vision care
\nSaronic pays 100% of the premium for employees and 80% for dependents
\nTime Off: Generous PTO and Holidays
\nParental Leave: Paid maternity and paternity leave to support new parents
\nCompetitive Salary: Industry-standard salaries with opportunities for performance-based bonuses
\nRetirement Plan: 401(k) plan
\nStock Options: Equity options to give employees a stake in the company’s success
\nLife and Disability Insurance: Basic life insurance and short- and long-term disability coverage
\nAdditional Perks: Free lunch benefit and unlimited free drinks and snacks in the office
\nPhysical Requirements:
\nProlonged periods of sitting at a desk and working on a computer.
\nOccasional standing and walking within the office.
\nManual dexterity to operate a computer keyboard, mouse, and other office equipment.
\nVisual acuity to read screens, documents, and reports.
\nOccasional reaching, bending, or stooping to access file drawers, cabinets, or office supplies.
\nLifting and carrying items up to 20 pounds occasionally (e.g., office supplies, packages).
