Electrical Mining Jobs in Texas (NOW HIRING)

Saronic Technologies is a leader in revolutionizing autonomy at sea, dedicated to developing state‑of‑the‑art solutions that enhance maritime operations through autonomous and intelligent platforms.

Saronic Technologies is seeking a Senior Electrical Engineer with deep experience in the design, specification, and validation of vessel/vehicle electronic systems. This position will play a key role in developing and evaluating ruggedized electrical architectures for autonomous maritime platforms – ensuring performance, durability, and compliance under shock, vibration, thermal, and marine conditions.

The ideal candidate has a proven track record designing or specifying electrical and electronic systems for marine, automotive, defense, or mining vehicles, with a focus on system integration, environmental qualification, and manufacturability. This is a design and development driven, hands‑on role at the intersection of design innovation and field performance.

• Lead the design, specification, and validation of electrical and electronic systems for autonomous maritime platforms operating in extreme environments.
• Develop and document system requirements and specifications for electrical subsystems including power distribution, computing, sensing, and communications.
• Create engineering drawings such as one‑line diagrams, ladder schematics, networking diagrams, and similar.
• Evaluate and select or design components suitable for reliable operation in harsh environments.
• Conduct trade studies and benchmarking of commercially available systems and technologies from adjacent industries (automotive, defense, mining).
• Design and validate system architectures that optimize reliability, maintainability, and environmental protection.
• Collaborate with mechanical, software, and autonomy teams to ensure seamless system integration and interoperability.
• Support prototype builds, troubleshooting, and commissioning through lab and field testing – including dockside and at‑sea trials.
• Author detailed design documentation, including specifications, trade studies, test reports, and system integration standards.
• Mentor junior engineers in general design principles and ruggedization techniques.

• B.S. or M.S. in Electrical Engineering or related field.
• Proficiency in schematic and design tools (AutoCAD Electrical, SolidWorks Electrical, Zuken, or similar).
• 7+ years of professional experience designing electrical and electronic systems for marine, industrial, harsh, or safety‑critical environments.
• Proven experience with rugged electrical system design including power distribution systems, industrial automation, and network design.
• Familiarity with low voltage AC (<1000VAC) and DC (12/24/48V) power distribution architectures.
• Experience with fieldbus protocols such as Ethernet, CAN, RS485, RS232, and similar.
• Understanding of EMI/EMC design principles and mitigation techniques.
• Excellent technical documentation and communication skills.
• Experience creating engineering drawings such as one‑line diagrams, ladder schematics, network drawings, and similar.
• Ability to thrive in hands‑on R&D environments that blend lab experimentation with field testing.
• Strong understanding of environmental qualification standards such as MIL‑STD‑810, MIL‑STD‑461, ISO 16750, or IEC 60068.

• Experience in marine, defense, automotive, aerospace, or mining vehicle design.
• Familiarity with AC (120/240/480V) power distribution architectures.
• Background in embedded system and sensor integration.
• Experience with integration of navigation sensors and systems.
• Familiarity with common networking and external communication methods (LOS/BLOS).
• Experience with reliability analysis tools (FMEA, FTA, or reliability block diagrams).
• Knowledge of electrical safety and certification standards, such as UL, CE, or ABS requirements.
• Exposure to autonomous or remote system architectures.

• Build and qualify the core electrical systems powering the next generation of autonomous maritime vessels.
• Work on cutting‑edge R&D projects at the intersection of marine, defense, and rugged vehicle design.
• Collaborate with a multidisciplinary team of engineers advancing autonomy, sensing, and control technologies.
• Competitive compensation, equity participation, and comprehensive benefits.
• Direct impact – your designs will help ensure real‑world resilience and operational success in some of the most challenging environments on Earth.

• Prolonged periods of sitting at a desk and working on a computer.
• Occasional standing and walking within the office.
• Manual dexterity to operate a computer keyboard, mouse, and other office equipment.
• Visual acuity to read screens, documents, and reports.
• Occasional reaching, bending, or stooping to access file drawers, cabinets, or office supplies.
• Lifting and carrying items up to 20 pounds occasionally (e.g., office supplies, packages).

• Medical Insurance: Comprehensive health insurance plans covering a range of services.
• Dental and Vision Insurance: Coverage for routine dental check‑ups, orthodontics, and vision care.
• Time Off: Generous PTO and holidays.
• Parental Leave: Paid maternity and paternity leave to support new parents.
• Competitive Salary: Industry‑standard salaries with opportunities for performance‑based bonuses.
• Retirement Plan: 401(k) plan with company match.
• Stock Options: Equity options to give employees a stake in the company’s success.
• Life and Disability Insurance: Basic life insurance and short‑ and long‑term disability coverage.
• Pet Insurance: Discounted pet insurance options including 24/7 telehealth helpline.
• Additional Perks: Free lunch benefit and unlimited free drinks and snacks in the office.
