View original

We're looking for a mid-level Electrical Engineer to own the design, development, and integration of the electronic systems that power our autonomous underwater vehicles. You'll work across the full electrical stack - from board-level design to system-level architecture - and see your work go from schematic to ocean. This is a hands-on role where you'll be as comfortable at a bench with a scope and soldering iron as you are in a schematic editor. What You'll Do · Design and lay out printed circuit boards for vehicle subsystems, from concept through production-ready deliverables. · Architect and implement power generation, conversion, and distribution systems for demanding undersea operating environments. · Design and integrate sensor interfaces and signal conditioning circuits for the vehicle's perception and navigation systems. · Define and implement communication bus architectures that tie vehicle subsystems together reliably. · Design wire harnesses, cable assemblies, and interconnect solutions that survive pressure, vibration, and the marine environment. · Contribute to overall electrical system architecture - defining interfaces, power budgets, and integration strategies across the vehicle. · Bring up, debug, and validate boards and integrated assemblies on the bench, in the lab, and in the water. · Work closely with firmware, software, and mechanical engineers to ensure clean integration across disciplines. · Generate and maintain documentation including schematics, BOMs, test procedures, and design reviews. What We're Looking For · B.S. or M.S. in Electrical Engineering or a related field. · 3+ years of experience in electrical hardware design and development. · Strong PCB design skills - schematic capture, layout, and an understanding of signal integrity, power integrity, and thermal management fundamentals. · Experience with power system design including conversion topologies, battery management, and distribution architectures. · Working knowledge of common embedded communication protocols and bus architectures. · Familiarity with analog and mixed-signal design, including signal conditioning for sensors. · Hands-on experience with lab equipment - oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, power supplies, spectrum analyzers - and comfort debugging at the board level. · Experience designing for harsh environments - thermal, vibration, pressure, or corrosion considerations. · U.S. Citizenship and ability to obtain a security clearance. Nice to Have · Experience with high-density or high-reliability PCB design for defense or aerospace applications. · Familiarity with underwater connectors, pressure-tolerant or pressure-rated electronics, and marine electrical standards. · Exposure to EMI/EMC design practices and compliance testing. · Experience taking designs from prototype through low-rate production. · Background in robotics, autonomous systems, or defense platforms. · Active security clearance (Secret or above).
