## Job description

## About Andrenam

We're building sonar and sensing systems that bring light to the last dark domain: the ocean. Our team includes alumni from SpaceX, Anduril, ABL, and Qualia. We build full-stack—from physics to perception to product—with speed, elegance, and an unwavering commitment to the mission.

We believe the maritime domain will define the next century of economics, geopolitics, and global security. We're here to shape it.

## About this role

Andrenam is looking for a Harness Technician to join our hardware team. You'll be hands-on building the physical systems that enable real-time sensing and communication across autonomous maritime platforms. This is a critical role on a team where every wire, connector, and harness assembly directly contributes to national defense and naval operations.

We're looking for someone who takes pride in precise, reliable workmanship and thrives in a fast-paced, mission-critical environment where quality isn't negotiable.

In This Role

- You will fabricate, assemble, and test wire harnesses and cable assemblies for defense-grade maritime hardware systems.
- You will work from engineering schematics, wiring diagrams, and assembly drawings to build systems that perform in demanding environments.
- You will collaborate closely with electrical engineers to refine harness designs from prototype through production.
- You will uphold and help define workmanship standards for harness fabrication across the organization.

## Responsibilities

- Fabricate wire harnesses and cable assemblies from engineering drawings, wiring diagrams, and verbal instructions.
- Perform crimping, soldering, splicing, and connector termination on a variety of wire gauges and connector types.
- Install and route harnesses and cable assemblies in hardware enclosures and system builds.
- Conduct continuity, hi-pot, and functional electrical testing on completed assemblies.
- Identify and communicate design or workmanship issues to engineering and implement corrective actions.
- Maintain organized work areas and accurate documentation for all assemblies built.
- Support prototype builds and production ramp, adapting quickly as designs evolve.

## Basic Qualifications

- 2+ years of experience fabricating wire harnesses or cable assemblies in an aerospace, defense, or high-reliability electronics environment.
- Proficiency with crimping tools, soldering irons, and associated hand tools; ability to read and interpret wiring diagrams and schematics.
- Familiarity with a variety of connector types across industries (e.g., automotive, industrial, consumer electronics); comfort adapting to new connector systems as needed.
- Strong attention to detail and commitment to producing defect-free assemblies.
- Clear verbal and written communication skills; ability to surface issues, ask the right questions, and keep engineering informed of assembly challenges in real time.
- Ability to work independently and manage multiple builds simultaneously in a fast-paced environment.

## Preferred Skills and Experience

- IPC/WHMA-A-620 or J-STD-001 certification or training.
- Experience building to MIL-SPEC or other defense/aerospace standards.
- Familiarity with waterproof or ruggedized connector systems (e.g., Deutsch, Amphenol, Souriau).
- Exposure to underwater, maritime, or submersible system builds.
- Experience supporting engineering teams during early-stage prototype development.

## About Andrenam

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Andrenam builds an AI-powered, distributed maritime sensing network using intelligent acoustic buoys to detect, track, and classify underwater activity for defense, energy, and security applications.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Seed + Series A funded)
- **Headquarters**: Hawthorne, California, United States
- **Founded**: 2024
- **Founders**: Matej Cernosek (Co-Founder & CEO)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Defense and Space Manufacturing; Maritime Security; Undersea Intelligence
- **Target customers**: B2B – U.S. Navy and allied defense agencies, commercial maritime operators, energy & offshore companies, counter-UUV units
- **Mission statement**: “Undersea intelligence at scale, anywhere” – democratizing sonar sensing and persistent autonomous awareness from surface to seabed.

## Products & Services
- **PEARL**: A rapidly deployable, mass-manufacturable acoustic buoy that autonomously collects underwater sound data and transmits it via satellite. Designed for persistent, scalable monitoring.
- **OBSIDIAN**: An AI-native software platform that processes, analyzes, and transforms acoustic data into real-time actionable intelligence, delivering alerts and classifications through an operator-friendly interface.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not disclosed
- **Key Metric**: Total funding $28M – $10M Seed (July 2025, led by First Round Capital) and $18M Series A (July 2026, led by Upfront Ventures with participation from Valor Equity Partners, Also Capital, First Round Capital, and Long Journey)
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: First Round Capital, Upfront Ventures, Valor Equity Partners, Also Capital, Long Journey; operational collaboration with U.S. Navy UUV Group 1 (UUVGRU-1)
- **Growth Signals**: 157% year-over-year headcount growth (13 employees as of mid-2026); completed a 2.5-week deployment at the UUV confidence course in Keyport, WA, with zero mission-ending failures; Series A funding to scale manufacturing and team.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Mass-manufacturable buoys** that can be deployed rapidly without specialized crews, lowering the barrier to persistent undersea monitoring.
- **AI-native processing** (OBSIDIAN) that turns raw acoustic data into real-time, actionable alerts – reducing the need for human analysts.
- **Proven real-world performance** with the U.S. Navy, demonstrating reliability in operational environments.
- **End-to-end solution** from hardware (PEARL) to software (OBSIDIAN), creating a seamless, scalable system.

## Strategic Focus
- Scaling production and deployment of PEARL buoys to meet rising demand from defense and commercial customers.
- Expanding the team across engineering, business development, and government programs to support growth.
- Deepening partnerships with U.S. Navy and allied forces, and entering commercial markets (energy, offshore, counter-UUV).

## Why Work Here
- **Culture**: Small teams, fast decisions, meaningful responsibility from day one. “We care more about outcomes than titles.”
- **Work environment**: Remote-friendly with some in-office roles (Torrance, CA). Remote positions include Federal Account Executive, Director, US Government Programs, Director, Commercial Programs. Engineering roles are in-office (Torrance) or remote (Senior Software Engineer - Data Platform listed as remote? Careful: the careers page shows Senior Software Engineer as "Torrance / in-office" but Senior Software Engineer - Data Platform is also listed as Torrance / in-office. The BuiltIn page says "Remote Workspace" for some roles; check: BuiltIn says "Remote Workspace" for Director, Commercial Programs. So hybrid/remote depending on role.
- **Perks**: Working on critical national security technology with real-world impact; opportunity to work alongside engineers from top defense tech companies (Anduril, Saronic, Blue Origin, Arc).
- **Engineering culture**: Emphasis on reliability, hardware-software integration, and solving hard problems in austere environments.
