Your work will range from building test setups for individual components to integrating complete vehicles. We’re looking for a versatile technician with strong skills in electrical fabrication, instrumentation and test, plus some experience with mechanical assembly. Attention to detail matters here. One week you might build several identical assemblies, the next you might create a one-off solution to a brand-new problem. You’re organized and document your work, but you can also think on your feet. You’ll learn new tools and software and work alongside engineers from several disciplines. ## Key Responsibilities and Requirements - Build, Test & Troubleshoot: Build, test and troubleshoot electrical systems from 5V to 48V, including battery-powered components, RF devices, data acquisition systems, sensors, payloads, motors and actuators. - Problem Solving: Help develop solutions by bringing insights from your past hands-on experience. - Documentation: Document build, test and troubleshooting processes so work can be repeated and improved. - Shop & Equipment: Maintain shop equipment, tools and instrumentation. Help keep the shop organized, and set best practices for fabrication and the safe use of tools and equipment. - Sourcing: Source parts and tools to support design and build efforts. - Prototype to Production: Help move prototypes into production by simplifying and standardizing components and processes. ## Qualifications - Hands-on experience with electrical fabrication, instrumentation and test - Strong attention to detail and an organized, well-documented approach to your work - Comfortable switching between repeat builds and one-off problem solving - Eager to learn new tools and software and to work across technical disciplines - U.S. citizenship - Able to work onsite at our North Kingstown, RI facility - Able to travel up to 4 weeks per year ## Preferred Skills - Soldering and crimping of electrical connectors and wiring - Assembly of electromechanical systems - Basic electrical troubleshooting equipment, such as multimeters and oscilloscopes - Familiarity with wiring and PCB schematics and the tools used to create and document electrical systems - Familiarity with AC and DC electrical systems, and able to read electrical specifications and schematics - Familiarity with a 3D CAD package - Experience working on boats and in maritime environments Benefits: - 100% Employer paid Health Insurance - Dental and Vision Insurance for you and your families - Life Insurance (Employer Paid) - Ability to participate in the companies 401k program (Matching) - Unlimited PTO policy with an enforced 2 week minimum - Equity Package - Work / Home Office Stipend - Global Entry - 16 Week Paid Parental Leave - Monthly Health and Wellness Stipend Our Values: - Innovation: We are driven to break new ground. Every day presents an opportunity to challenge the status quo, think boldly, and deliver advanced solutions that transform the future of defense technology. - Integrity: We hold ourselves to the highest ethical standards, ensuring transparency, accountability, and trust in all our actions and partnerships. - Mission-Driven: We are focused on achieving impactful outcomes that align with our core mission—protecting lives through innovation. - Forward-Leaning: We continuously seek out new opportunities and remain at the forefront of technological advancements. We embrace change and anticipate the challenges of tomorrow with confidence and creativity. - Ownership of All Tasks: At HavocAI, no problem is too complex or too trivial. We believe that greatness comes from tackling the hardest challenges, but also in handling the smallest, sometimes thankless, tasks with the same level of commitment and care. - Servant Leadership: We lead by serving others, whether it’s supporting our employees, partners, or the broader community.
