Seasats has dozens of unmanned vessels in customer hands across the globe, and we're accelerating our vehicle production and deployments. We're looking for a skilled fabricator who takes pride in precise, reliable workmanship and can keep pace with our fast-moving production environment. You'll be building parts of our unmanned surface vessels – the structures, mounts, frames, and custom assemblies that keep our systems operating in some of the harshest ocean environments on the planet. Quality and craftsmanship are critical here; our customers depend on these vehicles to complete high-value missions far from shore. Role Details: You'll report to our Head of Mechanical Engineering and work closely with our engineering, Production, and R&D teams. Day-to-day, you'll be fabricating metal components and assemblies, reading drawings and translating them into finished parts, and helping develop jigs and fixtures to support repeatable production. Some builds will be exciting one-offs; others will be production runs requiring consistent precision across many units – both matter equally. A typical project might look like: Fabricate parts and assemblies using welding (MIG and TIG), cutting, drilling, and forming as neededBuild jigs and fixtures to support repeatable, accurate production runsPerform in-process checks and final inspection to verify dimensions and weld qualityFlag design issues or manufacturability concerns early and communicate them to engineeringKeep the shop organized, tooling maintained, and the workspace safe About You: You're a skilled welder – proficient in both MIG and TIG, with experience on aluminum and stainless steelYou're comfortable with a broad range of fabrication tasks: cutting, drilling, grinding, forming, and finishingYou can read engineering drawings and work from CAD references to produce accurate partsExperienced with milling machine and latheExperienced building jigs, fixtures, and selecting tooling to support productionYou take quality personally – you catch your own mistakes before they become someone else's problemYou can work autonomously and manage your own time without needing constant directionYou've worked in a fast-paced shop environment and can adapt when priorities shiftYou enjoy being part of a tight-knit, high-performance team where your work is visible and valued Whether you're a seasoned tradesperson or an unusually talented up-and-comer, we expect an open-minded learning attitude from everyone at Seasats.

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