• Design experience with DC power systems and power/energy estimation.
• Expertise in wiring, cable management, grounding, and EMI/EMC mitigation.
• Strong electrical drafting skills—schematics, wiring diagrams, cable drawings, block diagrams.
• Proficiency with test equipment (multimeter, oscilloscope, power analyzers, communication analyzers, hipot testers, spectrum analyzers, OTDR, optical meters).
• Advanced CAD, simulation, and analysis skills (Altium Designer, SPICE, AutoCAD, Solid Works Electrical, MathCAD, MATLAB).
• Microsoft Office proficiency.
• Excellent written and oral communication skills.

• Marine industry experience (ROVs, AUVs, sonar, robotics).
• Knowledge of industry standards (IEEE, ANSI, IEC, ISO, NEMA, NEC, MIL).
• Hands‑on technician skills—assembly, wiring, soldering.
• Fiber‑optic and PCB design experience.
• Motor drives, robotics, and closed‑loop control expertise.
• Experience with low‑medium voltage power systems.
• Machine safety system knowledge.
• Programming or scripting experience.
• Willingness to travel up to two weeks at a time, possibly overseas or offshore.
