Oceaneering Technologies (OTECH) develops, manufactures, and operates customized marine systems, shipboard equipment, subsea vehicles, and engineered solutions for commercial and U.S. military vessels.

Oceaneering Aerospace and Defense Technologies (AdTech) delivers solutions that enable humans to work safely and effectively in harsh environments – from underwater to the outer reaches of space. Our innovative solutions support the development and application of practical, cost‑effective systems that meet our customers’ challenges – from routine to extreme.

Oceaneering is a global provider of engineered services and products, primarily to the offshore energy industry. We develop products and services for use throughout the lifecycle of an offshore oilfield, from drilling to decommissioning, and operate the world’s premier fleet of work‑class ROVs. We’re also a leader in offshore oilfield maintenance services, umbilicals, subsea hardware, and tooling, and serve defense, entertainment, material handling, aerospace, science, and renewable energy industries.

As an Electrical Engineer, Motor Controls and Power Conversion Specialist, you will be a vital member of the Oceaneering Aerospace and Defense Technologies (ADTECH) engineering team. Your primary responsibility will be supporting the development and application of high‑power, high‑efficiency motor controls, drives, active front‑end rectifiers, and other power conversion systems. You may also perform diverse activities associated with the development and implementation of complex power and control systems for unique underwater robotic and electromechanical systems, helping solve our customers’ toughest challenges – typically for U.S. Navy and other U.S. Government Department of Defense customers.

Most of our projects are one‑of‑a‑kind, which means you will never be stagnant and will always work on something new and compelling. At Oceaneering, we are committed to “making it work!”.

• Apply specific expertise to development of low to high power motor controls, drives, active front‑end rectifiers, other power conversion and supporting components.
• As a system or subsystem lead, be responsible for producing significant portions of individual project electrical and control system designs; may also lead, supervise, and mentor small teams of senior and junior electrical engineers.
• Generate proper designs and work to complete tasks with latitude to make decisions under minimal supervision – individually and in a teamwork environment.
• Exercise excellent technical judgment, creativity, and initiative with attention to detail consistently throughout your work product, with attention to the “system” perspective.
• Prepare and participate in regular design reviews.
• Work closely in concert with mechanical, software, and systems engineers, and other cooperative disciplines, to solve problems and constructively architect a working system.
• Supervise/mentor junior engineers or technicians when necessary.
• Be responsible and accountable for your results, working with considerable autonomy, but also knowing when to ask for assistance.
• Desire to stretch and expand your talents, expertise, competency, and responsibilities.

• Bachelor of Science or advanced degree from an accredited university in Electrical/Electronic Engineering (or related field with an Electrical concentration, such as Computer Engineering or Robotics Engineering). Significant commensurate experience may be considered.
• Minimum 10+ years practical technical experience with focus and demonstrated expertise in custom‑made (high‑power) motor controls and other power conversion subsystems development, analysis, simulation, design, control, programming, layout, construction, troubleshooting, and testing.
• Ability to obtain and maintain a United States Government Department of Defense security clearance (active clearances preferred, but not prerequisite).
• Must be a U.S. citizen.

• Expert understanding and application of…
