Senior Electrical Engineer

NEW CAREER OPPORTUNITY

Build your career with Kraken Robotics. Make a difference to others. If innovation drives you, and you want a career that makes a difference to the world, helping humanity overcome the challenges in our oceans – safely, efficiently, and sustainably –
then come join us at Kraken Robotics.

Kraken Robotics is currently recruiting for a Senior Electrical Engineer to join our Mount Pearl, NL (Remote within Canada considered with future transfer to Mount Pearl).

Build technology that operates where few others can—
deep ocean environments
.

At Kraken Robotics, we design advanced subsea imaging, battery, and robotic systems used around the world. We’re growing our engineering team and looking for a Senior Electrical Engineer to lead the design of mission‑critical electronics for next‑generation ocean technologies.

This is a high‑ownership role where you’ll take products from concept through deployment in harsh, real‑world environments.

You’ll report to the Engineering Manager, Newfoundland.

• Lead the design of mixed‑signal PCBs and embedded electrical systems for subsea robotics and sensing platforms
• Architect electrical systems spanning power, signal integrity, and embedded control
• Develop and validate designs for extreme environments (pressure, temperature, EMI)
• Collaborate closely with mechanical, firmware, and systems engineers to deliver fully integrated products
• Guide products from prototype to production to field deployment
• Mentor junior engineers and co‑op students
• Apply required codes and standards to design criteria

• Real‑world impact:
  Your designs operate in oceans globally—not just on a bench
• Technical depth:
  Complex systems (power + embedded + sensing), not narrow silo work
• Ownership:
  You’ll influence architecture, not just execute tasks
• Growing company:
  Work on products already deployed with global customers across more than 30 countries worldwide

• 8+ years of experience in electrical engineering (hardware‑focused)
• Strong background in PCB design and mixed analog/digital systems
• Experience with power electronics and/or embedded systems
• Proven ability to take designs from concept to production
• Comfortable troubleshooting issues like noise, distortion, cross‑talk, grounding, EMI/EMC

• Experience with subsea, marine, or microelectronics industries
• Familiarity with tools like Altium, Zuken E3, or LabVIEW
• Experience with sensor/telemetry systems

• Based in Mount Pearl, NL
• Remote within Canada supported (with periodic on‑site collaboration), with transfer to Mount Pearl after ~6 months
• For American applicants: this role qualifies for CUSMA work permit

• Competitive salary and RRSP matching
• Comprehensive health insurance, along with yearly reimbursements for fitness equipment or programs
• Paid time off
• Hybrid work arrangements supported
• Professional development supported through training, conferences, certifications

• Short commutes, coastal lifestyle, and access to nature
• Lower cost of living vs Toronto or Vancouver
• Opportunity to take on more responsibility, faster
