Generic sound wave icon with the label 'NDA-Limited' and a lock icon

Underwater Acoustic Tag (NDA)

At a glance

  • Role: Packaging & materials lead—molded assemblies, CG (center of gravity) and ballast, gasket strategy, PCB–mechanical integration

  • Scope: Collaboration with EE/sensing; lab prep and field readiness; rapid iteration

  • Outcome: Improved in-water stability and recording endurance; repeatable molding process; buoyancy/pressure checks passed

Three proof points

  • Packaging: Low-profile housing with a serviceable seal stack and strain-relieved cable routing

  • Balance: CG tuning with a ballast map for consistent orientation and reduced drag

  • Validation testing: Buoyancy-tank and pressure-pot checks; attachment strategy exercised for deploy/retrieval

NDA note:Client identities and proprietary geometry are withheld under NDA. Methods and outcomes only.

Stable, low-profile marine recorder package with longer runtime and field-friendly mounts.
