  • Design, develop, analyze, integrate, and test electrical and electronic systems supporting seaborne sensors and mission systems.

  • Apply electrical engineering principles and analysis to solve complex technical challenges and develop innovative solutions.

  • Contribute to system architecture, detailed design, circuit development, hardware integration, verification, and qualification activities.

  • Work closely with systems, mechanical, software, manufacturing, and test engineers to ensure designs meet performance, reliability, environmental, and customer requirements.

  • Troubleshoot complex electrical and electronic issues, perform root-cause analysis, and drive solutions from investigation through implementation.

  • Prepare technical documentation, engineering reports, schematics, specifications, and other design deliverables.

  • Present technical work and recommendations during peer, technical, and formal design reviews.

  • Provide technical guidance and mentorship to less experienced engineers and contribute to the growth of the engineering team.

  • Evaluate emerging technologies, tools, and engineering approaches that can improve product performance, reliability, and capability.

  • Support engineering estimates, work-package planning, technical risk identification, and project execution.

  • Support integration, testing, and troubleshooting in laboratory, production, and field environments.

  • Ensure engineering solutions meet applicable safety, environmental, quality, regulatory, and customer requirements.

What You’ll Bring

  • Bachelor’s degree (or equivalent) in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or a related discipline.

  • 4+ years of experience in electrical/electronic engineering within a complex product development environment.

  • Experience designing, analyzing, integrating, or testing electrical or electronic systems.

  • Ability to independently solve complex engineering problems and make sound technical decisions.

  • Strong collaboration and communication skills, with the ability to work effectively across multidisciplinary teams.

  • Experience documenting and presenting technical work to engineering and program stakeholders.

What Will Set You Apart

  • Experience with sensors, embedded electronics, instrumentation, communications, power systems, or other mission-critical electronic systems.

  • Experience designing or developing technology for maritime, subsea, naval, aerospace, or other demanding environments.

  • Experience taking hardware from concept and design through integration, qualification, and production.

  • Experience with environmental, reliability, or qualification testing.

  • Experience working in a defense, aerospace, or other highly regulated engineering environment.

  • U.S. citizenship and the ability to obtain and maintain a security clearance, if required
