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.
We are seeking a Systems Software Test Engineer to own and drive the testing strategy for the software stack that runs on every Saronic vessel. You will join the Software team to take an already substantial collection of test capabilities, Hardware-In-The-Loop (HITL) station infrastructure, virtual machine integration tests, replay-based evaluation, and simulation and turn them into a single, principled, easy-to-extend verification platform. Just as importantly, you will introduce other testing approaches like property-based testing, fuzz testing of our protocol and message-bus surfaces, deterministic simulation and fault injection testing for safety-critical state machines.
You are a software engineer first, whose product is the confidence the rest of the team has when shipping code to a vessel in the open ocean. You will work closely with our autonomy, perception, systems, controls, networking, and infrastructure teams to design and develop full system validation frameworks that run as native Rust unit and property tests, as VM-based integration tests, on real HITL stations bridged into real hardware, and in simulation against captured fleet data. Your work will directly impact mission reliability by catching edge cases early and ensuring that what runs on a vessel has been adversarially tested long before it ever sees water.
Own and drive the test initiatives for Saronic's system software, including the HITL test catalog and station orchestrator, HITL-VM bridge framework, NixOS-based VM integration test suite.
Design and roll out a unified test strategy that combines our primary tools: Rust unit and property tests, VM-based integration tests, HITL-based tests, and replay/simulation based scenario tests into a single decision tree so that the right test type covers the right risk class at the right cost.
Build out property-based and deterministic simulation testing across the software stack. Expand coverage to the libraries where invariants matter most (planners, trackers, schedulers, state machines, codecs, IPC framing, certificate/identity stacks) and introduce a shared invariant-testing pattern that other engineers can adopt.
Stand up fuzz testing infrastructure from scratch. Identify high leverage surfaces, write the harnesses, get them running continuously, and triage or resolve findings.
Expand the HITL test catalog. Drive coverage into areas currently underserved, expanding VM based integration tests to exercise real hardware paths.
Treat HITL stations as a first class product. Partner to keep stations healthy, observable, and reproducible; harden the CI scheduler pipeline that owns reservations and execution across multiple physical stations; reduce flake; improve the test result dashboard and analytics that engineers rely on.
Inject faults, not just inputs. Build out chaos and fault injection capabilities, process kills, network partitions, time skew, CAN bus jamming, sensor dropouts that complement our existing test types and that property tests and HITL tests can both consume.
Build interfaces between our onboard test infrastructure and our cloud infrastructure test artifact storage, MCAP capture and replay, metrics collection and storage, fleet-data fetch, and the existing CI plumbing so that an engineer can author one test and run it locally, in CI, on a HITL station, or against historical fleet data with minimal friction.
Work hands-on with engineers across the company to catch real bugs. Pair with feature owners on test plans during design reviews, write the hard tests yourself, and travel to test sites to see your tests in action on real boats when needed.
Document everything. Maintain the test infrastructure architecture docs, runbooks so that other engineers can keep adding good tests without needing your hands on the keyboard.
Design, develop, and maintain software systems, using NixOS, for autonomous navigation, control, and communication of surface vessels.
Collaborate with hardware engineers to integrate software with vessel systems, ensuring seamless operation.
Implement algorithms for controls and sensor fusion.
Optimize network communications for low bandwidth/high latency environments.
Conduct software testing and validation to ensure reliability and performance in real-world maritime environments.
Participate in code reviews and maintain high coding standards, ensuring scalability and maintainability of software.
Troubleshoot and debug complex software issues, providing timely resolutions.
Document software designs, processes, and test results for compliance and knowledge sharing.
Stay updated on industry trends, emerging technologies, and best practices in autonomous systems.
Senior: 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with substantial time spent owning test infrastructure, V&V strategy, or reliability for a non-trivial production system (robotics, autonomous vehicles, distributed systems, embedded, networking, or similar).
Staff: 8+ years of equivalent experience, including architecture and cross-functional leadership of a verification or platform reliability function.
Strong programming skills in Rust and/or C++, plus comfort with Python for test orchestration, data analysis, and CI tooling.
Hands-on experience building and operating one or more of: hardware-in-the-loop test rigs, fuzz harnesses, property-based test suites, deterministic-simulation frameworks, or large-scale simulation/replay pipelines.
Track record of treating test infrastructure as a real codebase.
Strong systems intuition: you can read an unfamiliar daemon, find the invariants it actually depends on, and write tests that fail before the bug is fixed.
Excellent debugging and root-cause analysis skills, with a passion for both \"firefighting\" and \"fire prevention\".
Comfort working in a fast-paced startup environment where the test strategy needs to be designed and shipped, not just discussed.
Direct experience in deterministic simulation testing.
Experience with fuzz testing.
Experience with proptest, quickcheck, or other property-based testing crates.
Experience with NixOS tests, Nix flakes, and Cargo↔Nix integration.
Familiarity with robotics middleware and IPC patterns (ROS/ROS2, Zenoh, Redis pub/sub, MCAP).
Familiarity with embedded Linux, low-level serial protocols (RS-232, CAN, SPI, I²C), and networking fundamentals (TCP/IP, UDP, QUIC, VPNs/overlays, PTP/PPS).
Experience operating CI at scale (e.g., Buildkite, GitHub Actions).
Experience with sensor fusion, controls, path-planning, or perception evaluation.
Familiarity with maritime, aerospace, or other safety-critical operations; knowledge of DoD standards and regulations relating to software development is advantageous.
A bias toward writing the tooling that lets engineers find their own bugs, rather than being the gatekeeper.

About Our Team
Programs partners closely with Growth, Engineering, Production, Procurement, Software, and Product teams to define scope, align resources, and manage cost, schedule, and risk. It's our collective, team-driven approach that powers execution to meet and exceed the expectations of our growing customer base. In an environment where things move fast and operate in open-ended, ambiguous problem spaces, we trust and empower each team member to operate independently and take full ownership of their work. When faced with roadblocks, each team member is expected to think critically and bring potential solutions to the table. When it comes to communication, the default is transparency; sharing context, decisions, and progress freely. Lastly, feedback flows in every direction; we experiment, question, and learn together by speaking directly and honestly.
About the Role
This is a hands-on role for someone who owns the details and gets the work done, and it is an ideal next step for a candidate ready to grow into a Program Manager.

Support the Program Manager across all five process groups (initiation, planning, execution, monitoring & control, and closeout) on one or more concurrent programs.
Track schedules, requirements, budgets, deliverables, and integration milestones, including Government- and Contractor-Furnished Equipment (GFE/CFE).
Coordinate design, build, on-water testing, and readiness activities to meet contract milestones, and de-risk critical path items.
Maintain configuration and documentation compliance across all program phases.
Cross-Functional Coordination
Serve as a day-to-day point of contact across Engineering, Production, Quality, and Training, communicating objectives, milestones, and changes so everyone knows what they own and when.
Lead recurring coordination meetings to keep execution aligned to the delivery schedule.
Engage confidently in technical discussions and interpret engineering documentation (BOMs, CAD, wire diagrams) to resolve issues and keep teams aligned.
Relay feedback from field operations, testing, and customer reviews back to internal teams for continuous improvement.
Risk, Compliance & Field Support
Identify, track, and help mitigate program risks and issues, maintaining risk registers and after-action reports across assigned programs.
Work with Contracts and Legal to keep scope, terms, and deliverables (CDRLs) accurately captured and compliant with contractual, DoD, ABS, and DCMA standards.
Support field operations, demos, and test events (readiness, integration, documentation, and after-action reviews), plus sustainment and logistics planning that keeps fielded systems mission-ready for operators downrange.
Bachelor’s degree in engineering, Naval Architecture, Business Administration, Project Management, or a related field.
5+ years in program management, preferably in a defense, engineering, or technical environment, including support to SOF or SOCOM programs.
Familiarity with DoD program requirements, government contracting, and recognized program management standards.
Working knowledge of maritime and/or autonomous systems, with the ability to read technical documentation and engage credibly with engineers.
3+ years working across software-based toolsets, including MS Project, the MS Office suite (Excel, PowerPoint, Word), Confluence, and communicating with cross functional teams via Slack and other applications.
A bias for action and ownership in a fast-paced, high-trust, rapidly growing environment.
Willingness to travel up to 35% of the time.

Direct SOF/SOCOM experience, with familiarity with SOF-peculiar requirements, mission planning, and sustainment/logistics systems.
Experience across multiple acquisition pathways, including FAR-based contracts, OTAs, and rapid prototyping authorities.
Direct service-branch background in program management, acquisitions, or SOF operations.
Advanced degree, or foreign language proficiency (e.g., Japanese, Korean, Mandarin, or Arabic).
Prolonged periods of sitting at a desk and working on a computer
Occasional standing and walking within the office
Manual dexterity to operate a computer keyboard, mouse, and other office equipment
Visual acuity to read screens, documents, and reports

Customer & Stakeholder Engagement
Serve as the primary point of contact for customers, managing expectations, requirements, and relationships across the program lifecycle.
Elicit and clarify evolving mission needs, translating them into actionable program and technical direction.
Lead program reviews, delivery events, and technical exchanges with government stakeholders, operators, and evaluators.
Deliver clear, concise program updates and after-action reporting to leadership and customer audiences.
Cross-Functional Leadership
Direct and synchronize a cross-functional program team spanning Production, Engineering, Software, Mission Services, and Forward Deployed Engineering.

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.
Job Overview
Corsair is Saronic's 24ft autonomous surface vessel, built to carry modular payloads, operate in contested waters, and launch and recover with speed not seen before. Corsair is produced at scale in Austin, TX. Every sensor, module, payload, and harness has to fit, operate, survive extreme dynamic events, and be reconfigured in minutes when a technician meets it at the pier.
That engineering problem is yours. You'll own how Corsair's subsystems physically come together from first prototype through a design that can be built at a rate that meets the extreme demands from our customers.
Why this role
Your hardware hits the water fast. Designs you release go onto a boat and into open-water testing within weeks, not quarters.
You own the design inside the hull. This isn't one bracket on a 40-person team. You set the layout, mounting, harnessing, and serviceability strategy for the vehicle's interior.
Corsair is a high-volume platform. We have built over 400 in 18 months, so every design-for-manufacturing call you make compounds across the fleet and the production line.
What you'll own
Payload bays and mounts that let customers swap mission kits without a hull redesign
Sensor mounting and alignment that holds spec after thousands of hours of slam, vibration, and thermal cycling
Harness routing and cable management that survives hull flex and lets a technician trace a fault without pulling the deck
Structural interfaces between subsystems: brackets, bulkhead penetrations, and mounts that carry loads never seen by manned vessels
Access panels and serviceability, so field maintenance happens on the fly, not back at the factory
Internal layout and packaging that moves from prototype fit-up to a repeatable production build
What you'll do
Design the mechanical integration for electronics, sensors, and payloads, and own the physical layout of the vehicle interior
Define mounting strategies and structural interfaces, with tolerance analysis to back them up
Develop harness routing and cable management alongside electrical engineering
Create CAD models, drawings, and integration documentation that production and field teams can build from
Drive design-for-manufacturing and design-for-service decisions as Corsair scales
Support prototype builds, open-water testing, and troubleshooting on the production floor and at test sites
Work daily with EE, autonomy, production, and test teams to close integration issues fast
Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Aerospace, or related field
2+ years integrating mechanical and electrical systems
Experience with hardware packaging and subsystem integration
Proficiency in 3D CAD
Strong mechanical design fundamentals
Experience in prototype or production environments
Experience with electronics packaging or robotics systems
Familiarity with cable/harness design
Experience designing for harsh environments
Experience with maritime, aerospace, or defense systems
Strong cross-functional collaboration skills
Physical Demands
Prolonged periods of sitting at a desk and working on a computer
Occasional standing and walking within the office
Manual dexterity to operate a computer keyboard, mouse, and other office equipment
Visual acuity to read screens, documents, and reports
Occasional reaching, bending, or stooping to access file drawers, cabinets, or office supplies
Lifting and carrying items up to 20 pounds occasionally (e.g., office supplies, packages)
Benefits
Medical Insurance: Comprehensive health insurance plans covering a range of services
Saronic pays 100% of the premium for employees and 80% for dependents
