• Evaluate, select, specify, design, modify, test, and/or integrate sensors, cables, connectors, power (including batteries), and telemetry subsystems.
• Generate and maintain engineering drawings in support of manufacturing, review and create engineering change orders (ECOs), as required per ISO9001:2015 policies.
• Develop project test plans and test procedures, provide test planning support, and assist in the execution of both lab testing and at-sea testing.
• Test and troubleshoot electronic circuits and assemblies and identify repairs or modifications required to achieve full performance requirements.
• Conduct experimental tests on equipment, evaluate results, and develop specifications for deliverable systems.
• Contributes to development, test and production activities.
• Supports development of design standards, policies, and procedures to meet specific current and future requirements.
• Effectively document engineering development throughout product development lifecycle

What We’re Looking For

Required Experience:

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or similar field with 4-8 years of related experience in electrical/electronic hardware design, integration and system level test, and production of systems. Alternately, a Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or similar field with 2+ years of related experience.
• Ability to obtain and maintain a Secret Security Clearance.
• Demonstrated experience with Altium Designer or similar circuit design tools.

• Experienced in the operation of electronic test equipment including oscilloscopes, multi-meters, power supplies, function generators, insulation resistance testers, etc.
• Ability to plan, prioritize and organize work without close supervision.
• Competent in the use of Microsoft Office tools (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) and Microsoft Project.

Preferred Experience:

• Active Secret Clearance or above.
• Experience with unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs) and associated electronics/sensors, underwater cables/connectors, control and monitor electronics, power systems, launch and recovery subsystems, and system-to-host interfaces, including acoustic ranging and communications.
• Ability to take a system-of-systems approach to understand requirements and produce reliable, robust designs.
• Experience with optics, optical telemetry and electro-optic components.
• Demonstrated knowledge with conversion topologies including Flyback, Buck, PFC, resonant converters, LLC and analog/digital controls loops.
• Experience with coding and debugging in C/C++, firmware development in VHDL/Verilog, familiarity with the Xilinx toolchain, or Python Scripting.
• Development of test software and scripts on Linux/Windows environments.
