TL;DR · Endurance System Lead

The Endurance System Lead joins the Maritime Division to drive the energy subsystem for a maritime autonomous vehicle. Reporting to the Vehicle Systems Lead, you will own energy storage, distribution, regulation, and external charging from concept through production. Your primary responsibility is maximizing vehicle endurance and power reliability for ultra-long-range autonomous operation. You will set the architecture for battery systems, power distribution, and energy management while managing budgets and cost performance across prototype and production phases. Key technical requirements include expertise in power electronics, high-voltage power systems, and lithium-ion battery systems. You will utilize your skills in electrical engineering and power systems to design interfaces and ensure safe power delivery. This role solves critical energy bottlenecks for next-generation autonomous underwater vehicles in a defense context.

What you'll do

  • Own the energy subsystem architecture including storage, distribution, management, regulation, and external charging.
  • Drive the design and development of energy storage systems for ultra-long-range autonomous operation.
  • Manage power distribution, bus architecture, and energy budgets across all consuming subsystems.
  • Design external charging interfaces and solutions to ensure rapid vehicle turnaround.
  • Define electrical interfaces between the energy subsystem and other vehicle systems.
  • Manage subsystem schedule and cost performance across prototype, LRIP, and FRP phases.
  • Drive design-for-manufacturability in coordination with the production team.
  • Provide technical mentorship to engineers across various energy disciplines.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Power Systems, Energy Engineering, or equivalent.
  • 5+ years of experience in energy or power systems for marine, aerospace, or robotic systems.
  • Experience taking energy or power systems through full product development cycles.
  • Demonstrated experience with battery systems, power electronics, or energy management.
  • Experience transitioning designs from prototype to production.
  • Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. Secret security clearance.
  • Experience with large-format battery systems (lithium-ion or equivalent) (preferred).
  • Working knowledge of high-voltage power systems in marine or defense applications (preferred).
