This role involves managing the complete lifecycle design from concept through production, including requirements generation, developing system interconnect diagrams, and defining wire harnesses for electronic equipment. The engineer will conduct peer-level design reviews and perform lab, ground, and on-water testing for engine system components while performing root cause analysis for field operations. Key technical requirements include experience with circuit design, mixed-signals design, sensor integration, and harness design for USVs, automotive, or power electronics. Candidates must be proficient with oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and CAD tools like Altium. The role addresses technical challenges in power electronics and sensor suite integration for autonomous maritime and land systems.

What you'll do

  • Design, test, and validate Battery Management and Power Sub-Systems (BMS) for autonomous vehicles.
  • Manage the complete lifecycle design of vehicle-level integrations from concept through production.
  • Generate technical requirements and develop system interconnect diagrams.
  • Define wire harnesses to connect various electronic equipment components.
  • Build and test engine system components through lab, ground, and on-water tests.
  • Perform root cause analysis to support field operations.
  • Conduct peer-level and cross-discipline design reviews.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent.
  • 5+ years of experience designing, testing, and troubleshooting complex board designs.
  • Strong background in harness design, EE requirements generation, circuit design, and mixed-signals design.
  • Experience with sensor integration and design in USVs, automotive, power electronics, or sensor suite/perception systems.
  • Competence with test equipment such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, current-probes, and automation of tests.
  • Familiarity with standard interfaces such as CAN, I2C, and SPI.
  • Comfortable with electronic CAD tools such as Altium, Eagle, or others (Altium preferred).
  • Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.
  • Previous experience with BMS, EMI testing, or MIL-STD-810/461 (preferred).
