Job Description:
Job Description Job Description About the Opportunity Our client
is an innovative technology company building the future of subsea
inspection and marine robotics. They are developing autonomous
surface vessels capable of deploying underwater ROVs to inspect
critical global infrastructure—from the fiber optic cables that
power the internet to the pipelines supplying the world’s energy.
We are looking for a hands-on Electrical Systems Engineer to own
the vessel-wide electrical architecture. In this role, you won't
just be designing small components; you will architect the entire
electrical ecosystem, from propulsion and energy storage to power
distribution and communications. If you thrive in fast-paced
startup environments and want to build production-ready systems
that operate in harsh ocean conditions, this is the role for you.
What You’ll Do Own the Architecture: Take full ownership of
vessel-wide electrical architecture, including propulsion, energy
storage, power distribution, control, and communications systems.
System Design: Define system topologies, interfaces, and
grounding/shielding strategies to ensure maximum safety,
robustness, and serviceability in marine environments. Schematic
Development: Create block diagrams, power-tree diagrams, and
system-level schematics to guide PCB, harness, and enclosure
designs. Power Management: Define and track power budgets and
current paths across all subsystems, analyzing worst-case and
transient conditions. Component Selection: Lead the evaluation and
selection of power electronics, sensors, converters, and
communication interfaces, balancing performance, environmental
ratings, cost, and lifecycle. Collaboration & Compliance: Work
closely with mechanical and software teams to ensure designs are
manufacturable and maintainable. Support compliance efforts
(Electrical safety, EMC, Marine standards). Why Join? Cutting-Edge
Robotics: Move beyond standard electrical engineering to build
autonomous surface vessels and subsea ROVs. Total Ownership: You
aren't a cog in a machine; you are the architect of the machine.
You will own the design from concept to production. Global Impact:
Your work ensures the reliability of the infrastructure that
connects and powers the world. Production Focus: This is a
high-impact role where you will take prototypes and mature them
into production-ready systems. Requirements Bachelor’s degree in
Electrical Engineering or related field. Proven experience in
electrical system architecture (preferably in robotics, automotive,
aerospace, or marine sectors). Experience with power distribution,
energy storage, and electromechanical systems. Ability to work
on-site in El Segundo, CA. Note: Visa sponsorship is not available
for this position.
