Opportunity

This is a rare opportunity to join a tight-knit, technically elite team that thrives on solving the hardest problems beneath the ocean's surface. As an Electronics Engineer, you will not just fill a seat-you will own critical pieces of next-generation maritime defense technology. From day one, your work will have direct, visible impact on systems that matter to national security and scientific advancement. The environment is hands-on, collaborative, and free of bureaucratic red tape, making it an ideal launching pad for an early-career engineer hungry to make a real difference.

Your daily work will span the full lifecycle of complex electrical and electro-mechanical systems used in underwater sensing and communications. You will design custom analog and digital PCBs, integrate embedded processors, and troubleshoot assemblies in the lab-all while learning from senior engineers who welcome curiosity and fresh ideas. You will also travel occasionally to support field exercises, seeing your designs perform in operational settings. The technology stack is broad: analog sensors, ADCs, microcontrollers, power amplifiers, digital protocols, and more, offering an incredibly rich learning landscape.

We are looking for a self-starter with a solid foundation in electrical engineering and a genuine passion for building and debugging real hardware. A Bachelor's degree with a microelectronics focus is required, but no professional experience is necessary if you have completed meaningful internships and can demonstrate hands-on PCB design and lab skills. You must be a U.S. citizen capable of obtaining a security clearance. Most importantly, you should thrive in a small-team setting where everyone's voice matters and collaboration is the default.

Full relocation is provided to make your move seamless. You will be joining a group that values technical excellence, rewards initiative, and gives you direct access to customers and colleagues who are as passionate about innovation as you are. If you are ready to launch your career in an environment where your contributions are seen and celebrated, this is your sign. Apply today and let's start a conversation about your future with us.
