Full Job Description
About Us Standard Subsea builds uncrewed surface vessels for offshore work. We put inspection and survey capacity in the water without the crewed ships, the mobilization delays, or the cost that come with them. We think maritime work is going uncrewed, and we are building the fleet to do it. The Role: Our mechanical and software engineers know enough electrical to be dangerous, and they have built the system running our vessels today. You take it from here: develop it, and rework it however you see fit to hit our next product goals. This role will be foundational to ongoing electrical buildout. The work spans power, propulsion, energy storage, high voltage, sensors, comms, and control, from schematic to bench to install to sea trials. What you'll do: - Design the electrical system end to end: power, propulsion, energy storage, control, comms, and high voltage. - Build and install it in the boat. Harnesses, connectors, enclosures, the physical install, then commission it and chase down problems on the water. - Draw the diagrams and schematics that drive the harness, enclosure, and PCB work, and keep the power budget honest under worst-case loads. - Design simple PCBs to fold today's COTS boards into our own, cutting parts, wiring, and failure points. - Pick the components and set the grounding, shielding, and protection so the system is safe and serviceable. - Work with mechanical and software so the design is practical to build and maintain, and keep electrical safety, EMC, and marine compliance in view. What we're looking for: - You have built real electrical hardware yourself. We care more about what you have built than years. - Comfortable with high voltage: safe isolation, lockout, arc-flash awareness. - Hands on with harnesses, connectors, and installs. - Can lay out simple boards: power distribution, breakout, integration. Nothing exotic. - Know your way around power distribution, protection, control interfaces, and picking parts for high-reliability use. - Ha
