The Electrical Engineer is responsible for designing and developing electronics for use in a harsh subsea environment. The candidate must demonstrate the ability to manage designs from conception, through end of life incorporating feedback from stakeholders and customers continuously. The position requires cross-functional collaboration to integrate precisely controlled electro-mechanical designs. The candidate must demonstrate excellent process and project management skills to function effectively with peers and cross-functional teams.

POSITION DUTIES:

• Perform design and analysis of digital, analog and power circuits to help create robust products.
• Create schematics, layouts, and choose components for PCBs.
• Develop specifications and test requirements that drive product design.
• Analyze design reliability, serviceability and manufacturability.
• Perform engineering duties at customer sites, or offshore when required.
• Create bills of materials and oversee creation of drawings to support new designs.
• Provide guidance for designers, and other engineers, on design tasks as needed. Function as lead on tasks of moderate complexity.
• Collaborate with mechanical, electrical, and software engineers on detailed design work, and work with sales and service on product research and definition.
• Provide support to other departments such as Manufacturing, Quality Assurance, and Customer Service.
• Recommend improvements to engineering policies and establish new procedures as needed.
• Drive continuous improvement to electrical best practices by evaluating industry tools and techniques, then collaborating with the Electrical Engineering team to discuss implementation.
