Senior Electrical Engineer

Saronic Technologies is a leader in revolutionizing autonomy at sea, dedicated to developing state-of-the-art solutions that enhance maritime operations through autonomous and intelligent platforms.

Saronic Technologies is seeking a Senior Electrical Engineer with deep experience in the design, specification, and validation of vessel/vehicle electronic systems. This position will play a key role in developing and evaluating ruggedized electrical architectures for autonomous maritime platforms - ensuring performance, durability, and compliance under shock, vibration, thermal, and marine conditions.

The ideal candidate has a proven track record designing or specifying electrical and electronic systems for marine, automotive, defense, or mining vehicles, with a focus on system integration, environmental qualification, and manufacturability. This is a design and development driven, hands‑on role at the intersection of design innovation and field performance.

• Lead the design, specification, and validation of electrical and electronic systems for autonomous maritime platforms operating in extreme environments.

• Develop and document system requirements and specifications for electrical subsystems including power distribution, computing, sensing, and communications.

• Create engineering drawings such as one-line diagrams, ladder schematics, networking diagrams, and similar.

• Evaluate and select or design components suitable for reliable operation in harsh environments.

• Conduct trade studies and benchmarking of commercially available systems and technologies from adjacent industries (automotive, defense, mining).

• Design and validate system architectures that optimize reliability, maintainability, and environmental protection.

• Collaborate with mechanical, software, and autonomy teams to ensure seamless system integration and interoperability.

• Support prototype builds, troubleshooting, and commissioning through lab and field testing - including dockside and at‑sea trials.

• Author detailed design documentation, including specifications, trade studies, test reports, and system integration standards.

• Mentor junior engineers in general design principles and ruggedization techniques.

• B.S. or M.S. in Electrical Engineering or related field.

• Proficiency in schematic and design tools (AutoCAD Electrical, Solid Works Electrical, Zuken, or similar).

• 7+ years of professional experience designing electrical and electronic systems for marine, industrial, harsh, or safety‑critical environments.

• Proven experience with rugged electrical system design including power distribution systems, industrial automation, and network design.

• Familiarity with low voltage AC (
