About the role

  • Operations engineering is the connective tissue between a CAD model and hardware sitting on a beach doing its job.

Responsibilities

  • Build real hardware. Assembly, integration, and test of MESH Box and SURGE systems - mechanical, electrical, and everything in between.
  • Own projects end-to-end. Scope it, design it, build it, test it, write it up. Fixtures, jigs, test rigs, harnesses, ground support equipment.
  • Wrangle the supply chain. Source parts, chase vendors, drive procurement, and keep the build moving when a component is three weeks late.
  • Evidence you build things outside of some days are a 4 a.m. drive to the waterfront to catch a tide window.
  • We optimize for signal over noise.
  • Build real hardware.

Requirements

  • Pursuing a degree in mechanical, electrical, aerospace, industrial, or a related engineering field.

Compensation

  • $20k-$35k

Company info

  • First Order Effects (FOE) is building America's Infrastructure Prime for the robotic era.
  • Autonomous ships, drones, and robots are rewriting how the world moves, fights, and builds - but none of them work without infrastructure to power them, connect them, and launch and recover them.
  • That's what we build.
  • Our team comes from SpaceX, Anduril, Saronic, Lockheed Skunk Works, Forterra, and Fuse Energy.
  • Before founding FOE, we built satellite ground stations that closed a national comms gap in days, deployed multi-megawatt power systems at commercial speed, and shipped autonomous surface vessels into Navy fleet production.
  • We've built infrastructure at lightspeed before - now we're applying that playbook to an entire company.
  • As an intern here, you won't be six layers away from the people who did those things.
  • You'll be right alongside them.
