About the Role

Anchor Innovation is seeking a hands-on Maritime Field Service Technician to support small craft and emerging maritime operations in Ventura / Port Hueneme, CA.

This is an operational waterfront support role focused on maintenance, troubleshooting, launch/recovery operations, and direct fleet support. The ideal candidate is comfortable operating independently in dynamic environments, solving problems without heavy oversight, and supporting evolving maritime capability alongside operational units.

This is not a purely administrative or office-based position. Candidates should expect a mix of waterfront operations, troubleshooting, maintenance support, operational coordination, and occasional travel in support of ongoing mission requirements.

Responsibilities

• Support daily waterfront operations involving small craft and unmanned surface vessels

• Perform mechanical and electrical troubleshooting on maritime systems and support equipment

• Assist with launch, recovery, fueling, inspections, and operational readiness

• Support preventative and corrective maintenance efforts

• Coordinate with operators, technicians, contractors, and Navy personnel during ongoing operations

• Document maintenance actions, discrepancies, and operational issues

• Support field testing, training evolutions, and distributed maritime operations

• Operate effectively in fast-moving operational environments with evolving requirements

Required Qualifications

• Active Secret Clearance

• Valid U.S. driver’s license

• Ability to work independently and troubleshoot problems in dynamic operational environments

• Strong mechanical and/or electrical troubleshooting ability

• Experience supporting maritime, expeditionary, waterfront, or small craft operations

• Ability to work outdoors in maritime environments for extended periods

• Ability to lift and move equipment associated with waterfront operations

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience operating independently in dynamic operational environments

• Experience supporting distributed or forward-deployed maritime operations

• Mechanical, electrical, or marine systems experience

• Experience operating or maintaining small craft

• USCG 50-ton or 100-ton license

• Prior military, contractor, OEM field support, or waterfront maintenance background

Relevant Operational Backgrounds May Include

• U.S. Navy USVRON or SURFDEVGRU operations

• U.S. Navy Special Warfare Combatant-Craft Crewman (SWCC)

• U.S. Navy Riverine Forces

• U.S. Navy Coastal Riverine Force (CRF)

• U.S. Navy Maritime Expeditionary Security Force (MESF)

• U.S. Marine Corps 0312 Riverine / Small Craft communities

• U.S. Coast Guard Shore-Based Boat Units

• U.S. Coast Guard Maritime Patrol Forces operating FRC, WPB, or CPB platforms

• U.S. Coast Guard Deployable Specialized Forces (DSF), including MSRT, MSST, or PSU units

• Civilian operators with USCG licensing and operational small craft experience

Why This Role Matters

This role directly supports operational maritime readiness and helps bridge the gap between emerging capability development and real-world fleet execution. Successful candidates will help support developing requirements, mature operational processes, and contribute to scalable maritime capability across evolving mission sets.
