Job Description

Saronic Technologies is building rugged imaging capabilities for autonomous operations at sea, and this role helps deliver camera systems that can survive harsh maritime conditions. If you value hands-on engineering across optics, mechanics, and validation, this onsite position in Austin, TX supports designs that move from concept through prototyping and environmental qualification.

Responsibilities

Design and develop optomechanical assemblies for cameras and imaging sensors, including lens mounts, enclosures, gimbals, and thermal control elements
Partner with hardware, perception, and autonomy teams to define mechanical and optical requirements for camera systems, including field of view, lensing, placement, and alignment
Conduct detailed tolerance analysis to support structural integrity under vibration and shock in marine environments
Select and integrate COTS and custom components to meet SWaP (size, weight, and power) constraints
Create test plans and lead environmental and performance validation, such as IP rating, vibration testing, and temperature cycling
Support rapid prototyping and iterative development, including 3D printing, machining, and on-water testing
Maintain detailed documentation for designs, analysis, and revisions to support product lifecycle needs and compliance

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree or greater in Mechanical Engineering, Optical Engineering, or related field
2+ years of experience designing optomechanical systems or supporting camera integration in rugged environments
Proficiency in CAD (e.g., SolidWorks, Creo) and mechanical analysis tools such as FEA and thermal modeling
Ability to produce detailed engineering drawings for prototyping and manufacturing
Proficiency in optical fundamentals, including alignment, lens selection, MTF, and FOV constraints
Experience with environmental sealing (IP67+), thermal management, and vibration isolation
Familiarity with camera sensor technologies (visible, IR, multispectral) and related mechanical considerations
Experience with autonomous systems or robotics platforms (ground, air, or maritime) is preferred
Background in defense, aerospace, or other regulated hardware environments is preferred
Optics-related experience is preferred, including optical coatings, anti-reflective treatments, or lens fogging mitigation

Preferred Qualifications

Experience with maritime autonomy challenges such as dynamic environments, variable lighting, and low-contrast targets
Demonstrated success developing, integrating, and validating optical and sensor systems on maritime or aerospace platforms
Experience designing and testing for shock and vibration environments
Prior experience working on DoD programs or unmanned maritime systems
A professional engineering license or similar professional certification
ASME Y14.5 certification
