• Support USV deployments, including communication links, sensors, control systems, and redundancy, to meet mission success and comms uptime targets.

• Maintain accurate technical records, configurations, and drawings, ensuring 100% accuracy and rapid retrieval.

• Interface with Projects to define electronic scope and readiness, ensuring first-time-right project acceptance.

• Manage relationships with electronics service partners, integrators, and OEMs, including SLA and warranty coordination.

• Supervise riding electricians and contractors, ensuring work is completed safely and to required quality standards.

• Coordinate with Class Societies and Flag State authorities on system approvals and surveys.

• Recommend vendor selection, technology roadmap direction, and inventory levels to support fleet electronic reliability.
