Job description

MUST BE A US CITIZEN (Please do not apply if you are not)

Blacksea Technologies is seeking an electrical engineer to work on a variety of tasks related to design, integration, and testing of prototype systems in commercial and military machinery systems.

The successful candidate will have experience and/or strong interests in the design of electrical and electronic component systems for production and prototype machinery and vessels. Equipment used in these systems includes, but is not limited to:

• Electric motors (from fractional HP to > 100 hp) and motor controllers including servo systems and variable frequency drives
• Control systems comprised of micro‑controllers, programmable logic controllers, and other digital controllers that are used with machinery and robotics
• Switches and sensors used to detect the motion of components
• Power supplies, battery chargers, and power conversion equipment
• CANbus and Ethernet equipment
• Communications equipment including mesh radios and SATCOM equipment
• Industrial electrical design and control systems
• Data acquisition and data logging equipment
• Computing equipment
• Hydraulic systems
• Conventional vessel hull, mechanical, and electrical components including propulsion and power distribution systems

Work efforts will range from initial system power and data layout diagrams, component selection, power budgets, circuit protection design, computing and network layouts, iteration of these systems as the design evolves, guidance for technicians during system installation and debugging procedures, and proceed to system testing. Focus may range from system‑level design to subsystem or component detailed design, depending on program needs.

• Bachelor’s or higher Degree in Electrical Engineering from an ABET‑accredited institution
• 3-6 years relevant experience
• Hands‑on experience with electromechanical systems
• Proven ability to size electrical and electronic components and wiring systems, and document in schematics and one‑line diagrams
• Ability to work with test equipment to diagnose and experiment with existing and newly developed circuits and systems
• Experience with computing and digital networks in rugged environments
• Ability to coordinate and track project‑level work efforts including interfacing with technicians for the fabrication, assembly, and testing of hardware.
• Good communications skills and organizational skills.

• Experience with Solid Works Electrical Schematic and/or Solid Works Electrical 3D
• Experience with Altium Designer
• Experience with Product Lifecycle Management tools for configuration control
• Project and/or Program Management experience
