Architect – Infrastructure

At Saronic, we're redefining the future of maritime defense — and the facilities we build are just as mission-critical as the technology inside them. We're looking for a seasoned, registered architect to take ownership of how we design, permit, and build the industrial environments that bring our autonomous surface vessels to life.

This is a rare opportunity to work at the intersection of cutting-edge defense technology and complex, high-stakes facility development. You won't be pushing paper through a bureaucracy — you'll be a key decision-maker, shaping building standards from the ground up, navigating intricate permitting landscapes, and leaving a lasting mark on the physical infrastructure of a fast-moving, mission-driven company.

From early-stage programming and scope development to field visits during active construction, you'll have full-cycle ownership across capital projects at our industrial and port facilities. You'll bring deep expertise in occupancy classifications, code compliance, and hazardous materials requirements to bear on real problems — and you'll do it alongside a team of engineers, designers, and builders who care deeply about getting it right.

• Own the development and maintenance of building architectural design and construction standards for the company.

• Own the building permitting process for capital projects including development of a permitting plan and acting as key POC for local AHJ’s.

• Participate in the early programming and development of various capital project scopes of work and documentation of project requirements with a focus on architectural systems and design elements as well as occupancy and code compliance paths.

• Support development and issuance of requests for proposals and qualifications for various capital projects to 3rd party engineers, architects, design-build contractors and general contractors.

• Review and comment on 3rd party architectural and building designs for capital projects and provide owner based subject matter specialist (SMS) input and direction to internal and external teams.

• Provide internal design, and documentation on small capital projects as needed.

• Complete field visits during capital construction projects to represent owner and observe general civil/site installation and commissioning activities.

• Design management of small capital projects as needed.

• Travel anticipated to be up to 10% of the time for project specific visits.
