Position Description:
As a Junior Marine Technician, you will support the readiness and reliability of unmanned surface vessels and related maritime platforms supporting fleet operations, exercises, and extended overseas deployments.

• Deployment Support: Participate in recurring 90-120 day overseas deployments, operating in forward environments to directly support fleet exercises, testing campaigns, and maritime operations.
• Operational Flexibility: Work in industrial, maritime, and austere locations, including naval facilities, foreign ports, and on-water environments.
