Sr Electronics Engineer

Position Summary We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Sr. Electronics Engineer to join our engineering team. This hands-on role is central to the design, development, testing, and ongoing improvement of the electronics systems powering our professional ROV product line. The ideal candidate brings deep expertise in embedded electronics, power systems, underwater hardware challenges, and a passion for precision engineering in mission-critical environments.

• Design, prototype, and test electronic systems for professional underwater ROVs, including power electronics, motor controllers (ESCs), sensor interfaces, and communication systems.
• Develop and maintain PCB schematics and layouts using industry-standard EDA tools (e.g., Altium or equivalent).
• Select and evaluate components for reliability, availability, and cost-effectiveness in marine/underwater environments.
• Design and troubleshoot battery management systems (BMS), including charging, protection, and state‑of‑charge monitoring circuits.

• Collaborate with software engineers to define hardware/firmware interfaces and ensure seamless system integration.
• Develop and debug low-level firmware for microcontrollers and FPGAs used in ROV systems.
• Implement and validate communication protocols including RS-232, RS-485, CAN bus, I2C, SPI, and Ethernet/tether communication.

• Design electronics for operation in pressure-rated, waterproof enclosures rated to depths exceeding 1000 meters.
• Work with acoustic systems, including acoustic beacons, modems, and USBL positioning systems.
• Ensure compliance with EMI/EMC requirements and underwater safety standards.

• Develop and execute comprehensive test plans, including environmental, pressure, and operational testing.
• Investigate and resolve field failures, ESC anomalies, sensor faults, and integration issues through systematic root cause analysis.
• Create and maintain thorough engineering documentation including schematics, BOMs, assembly drawings, and test reports; support production team with manufacturing documentation and quality review processes.

• Work closely with mechanical engineers, software developers, and production staff to deliver fully integrated ROV systems.
• Support sales and customer service with technical documentation, product demonstrations, and field issue resolution.
• Contribute to product roadmap discussions and new product development initiatives.
