Design and integrate electrical power and EWIS systems, develop schematics and wire diagrams, lead harness/component selection for harsh marine environments, collaborate cross-functionally, and support design reviews, testing, supplier engagement, and production/sustainment activities in a multi-program environment.

Develop and integrate production-quality C++/Python software for Poseidon robots, interfacing with motors and sensors, building automated tests and diagnostics, analyzing field failures and metrics, and collaborating with mechanical, electrical, field, and software teams to ensure reliable robotic operation.

Lead design and scaling of end-to-end accounts payable and procure-to-pay processes. Implement PO and spend controls, manage invoice processing and vendor relationships, support month-end accruals and reporting, build SOPs, and partner cross-functionally to enforce budgeting and purchase discipline.

Build and maintain sales forecasts, reporting, and dashboards (Tableau) to support planning. Manage supply/demand forecasting, cost and vessel economics, and waste tracking. Support strategic projects including insource/outsource and CAPEX analysis, ROI modeling, and ERP process improvements to enable faster, data-driven decisions.

Lead end-to-end manufacturing operations to meet throughput, quality, and delivery targets. Manage technicians, planning, and procurement; implement SOPs, optimize inventory and production schedules; drive DFM, root-cause analysis, and continuous improvement to scale production.

Manage full-cycle technical recruiting for engineering and operations roles. Source passive candidates, partner with hiring managers, build talent pipelines, run campus and event recruiting, improve talent operations and metrics, and ensure smooth candidate-to-hire transitions.

The General Counsel will lead legal strategy, risk management, and corporate governance across robotics, seafood, and CPG businesses. Responsibilities include drafting and negotiating commercial and financing agreements, building scalable legal templates and contracting systems, managing outside counsel, ensuring FDA/food-safety and IP compliance, supporting board and investor matters, and advising on cross-border and vessel-related operations while optimizing legal spend.
