Electrical Systems Engineer - USV Platforms

Overview

In this role you will design and validate electrical architectures for advanced USV platforms, supporting mission-critical systems and seamless integration with mechanical and software teams. You will work to deliver marine-ready power, wiring and protection schemes while coordinating testing from bench to sea trials. You’ll contribute to robust, compliant electrical design and continuous improvement in a multidisciplinary, international environment. This is a hands-on opportunity to help shape next-generation unmanned marine capability.

Responsibilities

• Design electrical architectures for USV platforms and mission-critical systems
• Create wiring harnesses, power distribution networks and EMC/EMI-compliant layouts for marine applications
• Select, evaluate and qualify electrical components (power supplies, DC-DC converters, relays, connectors, sensors, protection devices)
• Collaborate with mechanical, systems and software teams for integration and interface compatibility
• Conduct electrical testing, diagnostics and troubleshooting; support bench tests, harbour acceptance tests and sea trials
• Produce and maintain electrical schematics, harness drawings, BOMs, test plans, technical reports and compliance documentation
• Apply knowledge of low-voltage DC systems, grounding, switching protection, battery systems and marine electrical design
• Support quality, health and safety, environmental and continuous improvement processes with cross-site teams

Key requirements

• Degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering or related discipline
• Experience in electrical systems design in marine, robotics, defence or similar environments
• Strong understanding of Electrical Engineering and Systems Engineering with USV integration and power electronics
• Practical knowledge of low-voltage power systems (12-48V), DC-DC converters, battery management systems, grounding
• Proficiency with ECAD/Electrical design tools (DraftSight, SolidWorks Electrical or similar)
• Ability to produce electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, harness drawings and BOMs
• Hands-on experience with oscilloscopes, multimeters, CAN analysers and diagnostic equipment
• Understanding of EMC/EMI, RF/antenna layout, EMI shielding, AS9100 workflows, software testing and QA methodologies
• Strong problem-solving and analytical abilities
• Clear written and verbal communication
• Collaborative mindset with ability to work in multidisciplinary teams
• Low-voltage 12-48V power systems
• DC-DC converters
• Battery management systems
