Senior Electrical Engineer

Senior Electrical EngineerWe are looking for a Senior Electrical Engineer with 5+ years of experience to serve as a Responsible Engineer for critical electrical subsystems on our client's autonomous underwater vehicles.You'll join a fast-moving defense startup building attritable UUVs for the U.S. Navy, taking full ownership of designing custom PCBAs from scratch and bringing them all the way through to production.We need someone with deep expertise in at least one of three areas: high-speed digital electronics (custom Nvidia Jetson carrier boards), motor-control/drive electronics, or battery/power electronics and power distribution.This is a ground-up build — we're replacing off-the-shelf hardware with fully in-house designs and need someone who can sprint to an 80% solution and get hardware in the water within three months.What will you be doing?Designing custom PCBA boards in Altium Designer (or equivalent) and owning the full lifecycle from architecture through schematic capture, layout, prototyping, debug, and productionBringing up new boards from scratch — debugging signal integrity issues, timing problems, and manufacturing defects using high-speed oscilloscopes and lab equipmentWorking closely with embedded software engineers as the hardware counterpart, ensuring tight hardware/software integration on your subsystemMaking rapid engineering trade-offs to deliver sufficient-quality hardware on aggressive timelines, with designs optimized for power efficiency and underwater environmental constraints (conformal coating, power constraints)Supporting field testing and sea trials, taking full end-to-end responsibility for your subsystem's performance from prototype through deploymentEducation RequiredBSc Electrical Engineering (minimum)Tech StackAltium Designer, Nvidia Jetson, PCIe, DDR, STM32, ARM Cortex, MOSFET design, GaN (Gallium Nitride), DC-DC converters, High-speed oscilloscopes, Conformal coating, Signal integrity analysis.RequirementsDue to sensitive nature of projects must be either a US Citizen or Green Card holder.
