Full Job Description
Junior Electrical Engineering Technician

Role Overview

We are seeking a detail-oriented Junior Electrical Engineering Technician to join our electrical integration team. In this role, you will build, integrate, and test wire harnesses, low-voltage electrical systems, and autonomy components for marine applications. You will work directly with the lead electrical engineer on marine power distribution, wire sizing, network topologies, and sensitive electronics, ensuring high-quality standards for marine durability and operational reliability.

Key Responsibilities

Harness & Cable Fabrication:Build, break out, route, and terminate low-voltage wire harnesses and custom cable assemblies.

Hardware & Systems Integration:Mount and wire autonomy hardware, sensors, marine communications equipment, Ethernet switches, and CAN bus networks.

Physical Installation:Route cabling neatly through tight marine spaces, bulkheads, and conduits, ensuring proper strain relief, bend radius, and chafe protection.

Testing & Verification:Conduct continuity, pinout, voltage, and ground checks; assist engineering with troubleshooting electrical and wiring faults.

Component Assembly:Perform precision hand soldering, weather-sealing, heat shrinking, and lug crimping.

Required Qualifications

Hands-on Experience:2+ years of electrical assembly, wire harness building, or technician experience (marine, automotive, robotics, or industrial context preferred).

Electrical Diagnostics:Experience using Digital Multimeters (DMM), bench power supplies, and signal test equipment for troubleshooting and pinout validation.

Tools & Assembly Techniques:Proficiency in precision hand soldering, heat shrinking, weather-sealing, and operating manual/hydraulic crimpers for heavy-gauge lugs.

Power Systems:Practical familiarity working with 12-48VDC and 120VAC electrical systems.

Schematics & Diagrams:Ability to accurately read and interpret electrical schematics, pinout tables, and wiring diagrams

Preferred Experience

2-3 years of experience in marine electrical systems, unmanned surface vessels (USVs), or vehicle prototyping.

Associate or Bachelor's degree in Electrical, Automotive, Systems Engineering, or a related technical discipline.

Familiarity with CAN diagnostic tools (Vector CANalyzer, Kvaser, Peak PCAN, Vehicle Spy).

ABYC (American Boat and Yacht Council) Electrical Certification.

Work Environment

Primarily onsite at Marcurius facilities in Clearwater, Florida, with direct work in workshops, vessels, docks, and field-testing environments. The role supports prototype development, electrical integration, and sea-trial preparation in a fast-paced setting with changing priorities and close cooperation across engineering, software, operations, and test teams.

$74,999 - $94,999 a year

We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses and identifying potential inconsistencies or verification signals in application materials based on available information. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
