Field Service Representative

If you’re someone who likes traveling a lot, doing a job well, working with a kickass team, tinkering with technology, being around the ocean, and interacting with new people, this could be a dream job for you. If you have a tendency to get frustrated with technology, smash your keyboard, throw things, or swear loudly and angrily when things go wrong, this job is not for you. If you have serious commitments to a fixed geographic location, this would also be a poor fit.

You’ll need to be:

Responsible and good humored

Comfortable working under pressure, teaching people, and responding rapidly and decisively to new information

An effective written and verbal communicator in all sorts of settings

Able to work well with others, take orders, or operate independently as needed

Excited to travel to new parts of the world for extended periods of time

A quick learner and a patient troubleshooter

Happy working with laptops, tablets, phones, and other technology

Able to manage time well, but comfortable working long hours and willing to stick around until the job is done

Handy with hand tools and basic wrenching, screw drivers, etc.

Safety conscious

Resourceful, confident, and capable enough to get the job done even if plan A goes south

Ready to do strenuous physical activity and handle heavy equipment in all sorts of weather conditions

In possession of a valid drivers license with no restrictions and comfortable driving in unfamiliar locations

In addition, it’s nice (though not essential) for you to have:

Experience on the ocean or around boats (strong plus)

Experience driving small boats

Experience driving autonomous boats

Prior military service

Experience working with kids or teaching

Skill with RC vehicles and/or video games

Familiarity with basic networking, electronics, or software troubleshooting

Experience driving a forklift

Experience with Word, Excel, and/or PowerPoint

We’d love it if you lived in San Diego, but given the highly remote nature of this position it’s not required. There will be a 2-4 week ramp up period where you’ll be required to stay in San Diego getting familiar with our team, products, and culture, and after that you could expect to spend an additional 4-6 weeks per year in San Diego throughout a typical work year.

This position will require you to travel away from home and even outside the US for long periods of time. There are related perks: for every week you’re away from home you’ll earn vacation allowances and travel bonuses. Seasats also provides a travel stipend while you're on the road, so you can expect to save money while on work trips.

At Seasats, we're passionate about delivering maritime robotics solutions to redefine the maritime industry. Our primary products are autonomous surface vehicles (ASVs), designed to carry sensors at sea for months at a time. Our ASVs 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:

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

Unlimited/Flex PTO

When applying, you’ll be asked to provide a resume and answer a few screening questions.

Please note that we are currently unable to sponsor employment visas, so candidates must be independently authorized to work in the United States.

We appreciate diverse perspectives and life experiences, and we’re committed to building a team that reflects a wide range of backgrounds.
