Role Overview

Are you ready to take your technical skills offshore and make a real impact in the world of marine navigation?

Sperry Marine is on the lookout for a Marine Service Engineer to join our Houston-based team. If you're passionate about electronics, thrive in dynamic environments, and want to work with cutting-edge navigation systems aboard vessels around the world — this is your opportunity.

What You’ll Do:

  • Install, troubleshoot, and test advanced marine systems — including radar, steering, and control systems — aboard ships and onshore.
  • Lead shipboard installations and support sea trials to ensure optimal performance.
  • Deliver hands-on training to crews and build strong customer relationships.
  • Represent Sperry Marine with pride, promoting our products and services globally.

Work Pattern & Environment: This role is not your typical 9–5. Due to the nature of marine service work, you’ll need to be flexible and ready for:

  • Anti-social hours, including evenings, weekends, and public holidays.
  • Overnight stays — sometimes at short notice — depending on vessel schedules and service needs.
  • Offshore travel, including launch services up to 100 miles out and boarding via Jacob’s ladder.
  • Working at heights (up to 60 feet) or in confined spaces, and exposure to varying weather conditions.

About You

  • Solid experience in electronics or a technical Associate’s Degree with proven hands-on know-how.
  • A knack for applying electronic and electro-mechanical theory in real-world scenarios.
  • Eligibility for an FCC General Radio Operator’s License with Shipboard Radar Endorsement.
  • Physical readiness to lift 40–50 lbs, climb Jacob’s ladders offshore, and work at heights or in confined spaces.
  • Bonus points for experience with marine navigation systems like RADAR, Gyrocompasses, Autopilot, and ECDIS.
  
Important Note for External Applicants:
To join our crew, you must be a U.S. citizen and successfully complete pre-employment checks.
