WHAT YOU'LL DO
Our Hardware Systems Engineers have an insatiable desire to make things better, constantly unsatisfied with the status quo. They love to tinker and are undeterred by the idea of breaking something if it means possibly improving it! In this role, you'll be the glue that connects the design and production phases of our engineering processes. You'll work on developing next-generation product enhancements working closely with leadership and senior engineers. You'll immediately contribute to developing unorthodox products by:
- Designing and reviewing schematics, PCBs, and documentation in Altium, verifying designs match the requirements set forth
- Developing electrical systems and maintaining hardware with limited oversight
- Rework and debug of various circuits from prototyping to production
- Creating innovative test procedures and frameworks, validating new designs, helping to automate testing to accelerate project timelines
- Contributing to multidisciplinary development teams to design new and improve existing products with challenging expectations in a timely manner and in accordance with system behavior.
- Creating, managing, and executing product validation plans including, but not limited to accelerated life, CE certification, field (in the ocean), and vibration testing
- Assisting in diagnosing product design issues prior to product launch
- Designing, building, and/or specifying test apparatus and infrastructure
- Effectively communicating test results, observations, and conclusions in a clear, concise, and intuitive way
- Documenting and cataloging collected data for future use
WHAT YOU NEED TO SUCCEED
Do you have a positive attitude, an eagerness to learn, and the ability to hustle in a fast-paced environment? Then Seakeeper is the place for you! Here are a few other things you'll need to succeed.
MUST-HAVES
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering with at least 1 year of experience in a related field or a Master's Degree combined with strong internship and co-op experience
- Be comfortable getting hands-on with the product (it's going to be dirty sometimes!)
- Have a mechanical aptitude and be handy
- Capable of thinking systematically and documenting processes, procedures, and test results
- Thrive in a collaborative team environment, but also effective when working independently
- Ability to independently manage tasks assigned and contribute to task development leading to a milestone
- Eager to learn and gain experience in a wide array of disciplines and projects
- Motivated to improve both yourself and those around you
- Passion to bring new products into production
NICE-TO-HAVES
- Electromechanical system experience
- Experience developing your own coding using C, C++, MATLAB, or Python
- Experience executing validation testing in either a lab or field environment
- Experience integrating with marine systems
- Experience developing high power AC or DC motor drives
MORE DETAILS YOU'LL WANT TO KNOW
- You'll be based in our Leesport, PA facility 5 days a week
- You'll report to the Hardware Engineering Lead, also based in PA
YOUR TEAM
Our Hardware team is nestled within our Seakeeper Embedded & Hardware department. It is a small, but mighty team that covers a lot of ground. It is a flat team, managing projects through an Agile workflow that allows maximum exposure to a variety of projects and systems within the group. The team is comprised of engineers with varying backgrounds and specialties including hydraulic, electrical, mechanical, software, controls, and more with a heavy emphasis on collaboration. You'll be able to be involved in a myriad of projects with program level exposure instead of only owning a small defined piece of the process.
