  • Apply innovative thinking to complex problems and assist in the brainstorming and development of new initiatives in maritime applications.
  • Develop and implement electrical schematics, circuit boards, and complex electrical systems, as well as custom sensor interfaces and associated signal conditioning, filtering, and data acquisition systems.
  • Support lab development and testing of electrical sensors, power control hardware, and distribution systems, as well as imaging systems using various test equipment.
  • Develop project plans and test plans, and conduct land and ocean-based field tests and demonstrations of advanced sensor systems to ensure that program objectives are satisfactorily addressed.
Requirements
  • Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or a related technical field with 5+ years of demonstrated experience with relevant electrical systems in a professional environment.
  • Hands-on experience with prototype development, circuit design, debugging, PCB design, interfacing analog electronics to FPGAs and microcontrollers with serial protocols such as I2C/SPI/USB, system integration and test, developing data acquisition systems, power distribution systems, and similar tasks.
  • Detailed knowledge of how to use lab instruments and engineering software tools such as Altium, PSpice, and LabView for electrical design and development.
  • Proven ability to work both independently and as part of a multidisciplinary team and possess strong interpersonal, speaking, and technical writing skills to communicate effectively with staff and management at all levels.
  • Ability to obtain an Interim Secret level security clearance by start date and ultimately obtain a Top Secret level clearance.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Master's degree in electrical engineering or a closely related technical field.
  • 5+ years of relevant experience with moored and towed ocean systems, such as buoys, towed arrays, UUVs, and ROVs.
  • Experience with development and testing of towed or moored acoustic and non-acoustic sensor arrays or similar telemetry systems.
  • Experience with shipboard power systems, power filtering, or large battery-powered systems.
  • Experience with preamplifier design, switching power supplies vs. linear power regulators, AC and DC power supplies, low-noise power systems, and testing any of these systems.
