Job description

About Fathom Robotics
Fathom Robotics provides operations, maintenance, training, and applied engineering services for uncrewed maritime systems supporting U.S. Government and commercial defense programs. We have multiple active projects across a variety of government and commercial clients and are actively fielding systems in operational environments.
Role Overview:
Fathom Robotics is hiring an Electrical Engineer to own electrical subsystem design and PCB layout for our AUV and USV programs, part-time and fully remote. You will define subsystem architecture such as power distribution topology and sensor interfacing, then turn it into a validated board design, working closely with our in-person team, who handle bench bring-up, fabrication, and field deployments. You will stay closely looped in on test results and design iteration.
Location: Remote, anywhere in the United States
Work Type: Part-Time, 15 to 30 hours per week
Program Conditions:
This position is fully remote, based anywhere in the United States, with regular video calls and shared design reviews alongside the in-person team at our Fort Worth, TX facility. Schedule is flexible at 15 to 30 hours per week, with occasional adjusted availability around design review cycles and milestones.
Responsibilities:
  • Subsystem design: define electrical architecture, including power distribution topology, sensor and communications interface strategy (ArduSub, ArduPilot, MAVLink), and connector and harness planning for marine environments
  • Subsystem design: select components and build bills of materials, balancing performance, cost, and availability
  • PCB layout: own schematic capture and board layout, translating subsystem architecture into a manufacturable design
  • PCB layout: produce connector, harness, and cable specifications for fabrication by the in-person team
  • Review bench test and bring-up results from the in-person team and iterate on the design accordingly
  • Join design reviews remotely to stay aligned with program schedules and test milestones
  • Maintain design documentation, including schematics, BOMs, and design notes

Requirements
Required Qualifications:
  • Demonstrated hands-on PCB layout experience, including schematic capture and board layout in tools such as Altium, KiCad, or Eagle; the top-priority qualification for this role
  • Some subsystem-level electrical design experience, such as power architecture or sensor interfacing
  • Degree, or equivalent hands-on experience, in Electrical Engineering or a related field
  • Solid grounding in circuit design fundamentals: power electronics, signal integrity, and component selection
  • Familiarity with microcontroller platforms such as Arduino, STM32, or Teensy, and flight controller hardware such as Pixhawk
  • Familiarity with Embedded C/C++ or Python
  • Resourceful, proactive, and comfortable working independently in a remote, asynchronous environment while staying closely coordinated with an in-person team
  • US person status required (defense program context)
  • Eligible for SECRET clearance sponsorship if required for an assigned program

Preferred Qualifications:
  • Power electronics or battery management system design experience
  • EMI/EMC design and mitigation experience
  • Design experience with waterproof or marine-rated connectors and enclosures
  • ArduPilot, ArduSub, or MAVLink experience, on any vehicle type
  • IMU or GNSS sensor integration experience
  • CAD proficiency (SolidWorks or equivalent) to coordinate with mechanical packaging

Benefits
