Key Responsibilities
- Lead the complete embedded and electrical engineering function, including firmware, electronics, power systems, and hardware architecture.
- Design electrical system architecture for autonomous marine platforms, from board-level electronics to complete vessel wiring.
- Develop multi-layer PCB designs, schematics, wiring diagrams, and hardware documentation.
- Design and develop power electronics, including DC-DC converters, power supplies, electrical isolation, and protection circuits while ensuring EMI/EMC compliance.
- Develop and maintain embedded firmware for microcontroller-based systems with reliable real-time performance.
- Integrate sensors, actuators, communication modules, battery systems, navigation systems, and propulsion components.
- Collaborate with mechanical, robotics, and software engineering teams during system integration and platform bring-up.
- Lead hardware debugging, board validation, and firmware troubleshooting.
- Design efficient power management systems for long-endurance autonomous operations.
- Plan and execute hardware qualification, environmental, EMI/EMC, and compliance testing.
- Maintain comprehensive engineering documentation, including schematics, PCB revisions, wiring diagrams, test reports, and design records.
- Establish engineering standards, development processes, code reviews, and testing methodologies.
- Support pool, harbour, and sea trials by diagnosing and resolving embedded hardware and electrical issues.
- Mentor embedded engineers and promote engineering best practices across the team.
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electronics, Electrical Engineering, Embedded Systems, or a related discipline.
- 7–10 years of hands-on experience in embedded systems development.
- Strong expertise in embedded firmware development for microcontroller-based systems.
- Experience in schematic capture, PCB design, board bring-up, and hardware debugging.
- Strong understanding of power electronics and electrical system design.
- Experience working with communication protocols including:
- UART
- SPI
- I2C
- CAN
- RS-232/RS-485
- Strong knowledge of sensor and actuator integration.
- Understanding of device drivers and embedded software interfaces.
- Excellent debugging and troubleshooting skills across hardware and firmware.
