Role: Logistics Specialist Location: San Diego, CA (in-office) Salary Range: $75,000 - $90,000 / yr + stock options, 401k matching, and other benefits Role Overview: At Seasats, we're building unmanned surface vessels (USVs) and deploying them around the world in support of critical government and commercial missions. Our pace is fast, our customers have high expectations, and every shipment matters. We're looking for a Logistics Specialist to ensure every customer receives a world-class experience. This person will coordinate domestic and international shipments, prepare documentation, research import/export requirements, maintain operational readiness, pack shipments, and solve the countless logistical challenges that come with supporting customers across the globe. More importantly, this role owns the customer's first impression. Before a customer ever launches one of our vessels, they've already formed an opinion based on how it arrives. Every package that leaves Seasats represents our company. From the documentation inside the box to how every component is packed and presented, we expect every shipment to reflect the pride we take in our products. We want someone who naturally thinks from the customer's perspective and asks: "If I were opening this shipment for the first time, would I be impressed?" You will serve as the final check before our products leave the building, ensuring every shipment is complete, organized, professional, and mission-ready. We don't just deliver autonomous vessels, we deliver confidence.
