What You'll Own

- Design and implement electrical systems for subsea electromechanical equipment, thruster motors, and precision actuators.

- Develop brushless motor drivers, power stage design (gate drive circuits, IGBTs, MOSFETs), and supporting circuitry.

- Perform schematic capture, PCB layout, BOM creation, and hands-on prototype testing.

- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to develop technical specifications, DFMEA/PFMEA analyses, and test procedures.

- Supervise and support electromechanical technicians during circuit board assembly and product integration.

- Act as the Project Engineer on custom projects to ensure technical success, budget compliance, and timely delivery.

What You'll Bring

- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a highly related technical field.

- 5 to 10 years of professional engineering experience, preferably within a hardware manufacturing environment.

- Strong technical expertise in electromechanical power conversion, precision actuation, and three-phase AC/DC motor control (specifically brushless motors).

- Proven understanding of microcontroller circuit design, embedded systems (PWM, ADCs, DACs), and serial communication interfaces.

- Hands-on experience with laboratory testing equipment (oscilloscopes, power supplies, multimeters, load cells, PCB testing tools).

- Excellent communication and collaboration skills for customer-facing technical discussions and small business team settings.

Nice to Have

- Experience utilizing Altium Designer for schematic capture and PCB layout.

- Prior exposure to subsea-rated hardware or underwater propulsion systems.

- Familiarity with ERP/MRP systems, BOM structures, and Engineering Change Orders (ECOs).
