From Fathom Robotics's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
Fathom Robotics provides operations, maintenance, training, and applied engineering services for uncrewed maritime systems supporting U.S. Government and commercial defense programs. We have multiple active projects across a variety of government and commercial clients and are actively fielding systems in operational environments.
ROLE OVERVIEW
Fathom Robotics is hiring a Payload Integration Engineer to manage payloads, communications, and software baselines across the OEM USV platforms we operate and the payloads they carry: UAS systems, telemetry antennas, and electronic warfare systems. Each platform and payload arrives with its own interfaces, comms architecture, and update cycle. Much of the software is updated remotely by the OEMs; you own the coordination, the verification, and the record of what is running where.
You will report directly to the CEO and operate with wide latitude. You make the integration calls, set the configuration standards, and own the outcome.
This role pushes unmanned systems to their limits in high-stakes environments. If you enjoy being the technical bridge between new technologies and real-world execution, this is a phenomenal opportunity.
Monday you are in CAD designing a mount for a new EW payload and getting the first article made, in the shop or through our fab vendor. Tuesday an OEM pushes a remote firmware update, so you coordinate the window, verify the vehicles come back up clean, and log the new baseline across the fleet. Wednesday is comms day: SATCOM checks, telemetry link testing, and chasing down a flaky antenna feed before it becomes a range problem.
Thursday and Friday you are on the water supporting a customer event, and what you integrated either works or you fix it on the spot.
PROGRAM CONDITIONS
Work is split between bench integration at the shop and field events on the range. Field events involve boat operations and outdoor coastal environments. CONUS travel supports test events and customer engagements at other ranges. Crunch periods around test milestones and customer demonstrations will require extended availability; outside those periods the schedule is steady.
