Teams at Blue Ops, Inc.

Supervise a hands-on team assembling unmanned surface vessels, ensuring safety, quality, delivery, and productivity goals. Plan daily manufacturing activities across harnesses, hull systems, decks, final assembly, and testing. Conduct inspections, maintain process-control records, manage equipment and materials, support lean improvements, train employees, and address quality issues. The role requires boat or comparable manufacturing experience, technical-document interpretation, OSHA familiarity, ERP and computer skills, and the ability to work in an industrial environment.

Lead the design, integration, deployment, and testing of autonomy systems for uncrewed surface vessels. Develop perception, sensor fusion, navigation, collision avoidance, mission planning, and control capabilities while ensuring COLREG, cybersecurity, ITAR/EAR, and safety compliance. Coordinate with engineering and field teams, mentor junior staff, support simulation and vessel integration, and advance AI-enabled autonomous maritime operations. Domestic and international travel is required for integration, sea trials, and customer support.

Designs and develops production-ready uncrewed surface vessel hardware, including composite structures, machinery layouts, propulsion, fuel systems, equipment mounts, payload interfaces, and integrated marine systems. Creates 3D CAD models, manufacturing drawings, BOMs, and engineering documentation; supports fabrication, testing, troubleshooting, configuration control, and design revisions. Collaborates with engineering, manufacturing, suppliers, and vessel operations teams throughout prototype and production development.
