Electrical Engineer

Position: Electrical Engineer

Position Type: Permanent

Location: Richmond, CA (Onsite)

Hours: Business Hours

Salary: $105,000 - $115,000/year

We are seeking an Electrical Engineer to join an outstanding engineering team, focused on the design, development, and deployment of electrical systems for autonomous marine platforms. This role is ideal for an engineer who enjoys working on real-world hardware systems, from early-stage prototypes through field deployment.

You will take ownership of key electrical subsystems, including power distribution, communications, and control systems, ensuring reliability in harsh marine environments. This role requires a hands-on engineer who is comfortable moving between design, build, test, and troubleshooting, and who works effectively with cross-functional teams across mechanical, software, and embedded disciplines. This position offers the opportunity to directly impact mission-critical marine systems, helping improve platform performance, reliability, and scalability in challenging ocean conditions.

What you will be doing:

· Design, analyze, and interpret circuit diagrams, schematics, and layouts

· Plan, develop, and refine electrical systems for autonomous marine platforms, including power distribution, control systems, and signal integrity

· Own electrical architectures for key subsystems across marine platforms

· Develop and prototype electrical assemblies, including wiring harnesses, connectors, enclosures, and PCB-based systems designed for marine environments Integrate electrical systems with mechanical and software components, collaborating closely with cross-functional engineering teams

· Perform diagnostics, troubleshooting, and root-cause analysis on electrical systems in both lab and field environments

· Support system bring-up, validation, and testing, including participation in field deployments and sea trials

· Incorporate feedback from engineering, manufacturing, and end users to refine and improve designs

· Ensure designs meet reliability, safety, and environmental requirements for marine operation (e.g., corrosion resistance, sealing, vibration, thermal performance)

· Create and maintain electrical documentation, including wiring diagrams, bills of materials, and test procedures, ensuring usability for operators of varying skill levels

· Contribute to the continuous improvement of electrical designs, standards, and engineering best practices

What experience we are looking for:

· US Citizenship Required

· Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related discipline

· Minimum 2 years of experience in an electrical engineering role

· Strong proficiency in electrical circuit design, analysis, and system integration

· Experience with PCB design tools (Altium Designer preferred)

· Familiarity with circuit simulation tools (e.g., Cadence or equivalent)

· Experience working with embedded systems and basic programming (C , Python, or similar)

· Strong understanding of electrical components, wiring practices, and safety considerations

· Demonstrated ability to troubleshoot and resolve electrical issues in complex systems

· Experience with power systems, battery integration, and energy management

· Willingness to participate in field deployments and sea trials

· Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate across multidisciplinary teams

· Experience with marine, outdoor, or ruggedized electrical systems

· Familiarity with environmental sealing, corrosion mitigation, and ruggedization techniques

· Hands-on experience with prototype builds and field testing

· Experience working with autonomous systems, robotics, or unmanned vehicles

· Eligibility for U.S. government security clearance (if required)
