About the Role
We're looking for an Electrical Engineer to join our Hardware Engineering team. You'll design, specify, integrate and test electrical systems for our uncrewed surface vessels (USVs) and other unmanned platforms. You'll own components and subsystems across power conversion, energy storage, RF and communications, signal distribution and overall electrical architecture.

The ideal candidate has taken electrical hardware from concept through design, assembly, integration and test. You'll work closely with mechanical, software and systems engineers to deliver robust, reliable solutions for maritime environments.

Key Responsibilities and Requirements

• Electrical System Design & Architecture: Design, specify and integrate electrical subsystems, including power converters, radios, compute, harnesses, circuit protection, batteries, actuators and antennas. Develop system-level architectures for USVs, including power trees, grounding schemes, communications pathways and redundancy. Evaluate electrical loads, routing and environmental requirements to support vessel capabilities and mission payloads.
• Wiring Harness & Component Integration: Produce wiring schematics, harness drawings, connector specifications and interface definitions. Oversee harness fabrication and verify assembly quality, routing, strain relief and suitability for marine environments.
• Build, Test & Troubleshooting: Lead subsystem bring-up, bench testing, environmental validation and vehicle-level integration. Verify RF performance, signal integrity, interference mitigation and link reliability on the bench and on the vehicle. Diagnose issues with power systems, EMI/EMC, communication links, sensors and embedded electronics. Support field testing, including hands-on troubleshooting during sea trials.
• Cross-Disciplinary Collaboration: Work with mechanical engineers on enclosure design, thermal considerations, EMC shielding and component packaging. Partner with software and systems engineers to make sure electrical interfaces are robust, deterministic and well documented.
• Documentation: Create and maintain electrical schematics, block diagrams, interface control documents (ICDs), test reports and configuration records. Support design reviews and engineering change processes.
• Manufacturing Support: Partner with technicians and manu
