Description
Saronic Technologies is a leader in revolutionizing autonomy at sea, dedicated to developing state-of-the-art solutions that enhance maritime operations through autonomous and intelligent platforms.
JOB OVERVIEW
Saronic Technologies is seeking a Senior Electrical Engineer – Power Systems with deep experience in the design, specification, implementation, and validation of vessel/vehicle power systems.
This position will play a key role in developing and evaluating ruggedized electrical power generation and distribution architectures for autonomous maritime platforms - ensuring performance, durability, and compliance under shock, vibration, thermal, and marine conditions.
The ideal candidate has a proven track record designing or specifying electrical power systems for marine, automotive, defense, aerospace, or mining vehicles, with a focus on system integration, environmental qualification, and manufacturability. This is a design and development driven, hands-on role at the intersection of design innovation and field performance.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
- Lead the design, specification, and validation of power generation, distribution, and conversion systems for autonomous maritime platforms operating in extreme environments.
- Develop and document system requirements and specifications for power subsystems and components.
- Create engineering drawings such as one-line diagrams, schematics, wiring diagrams, and similar.
- Create and review engineering analyses such as electric power load analyses (EPLAs), short-circuit hand calculations, power systems studies, voltage drop calculations, lighting calculations, harmonic analyses, and similar.
- Evaluate and select or design components suitable for reliable operation in harsh environments.
- Conduct trade studies and benchmarking of commercially available systems and technologies from adjacent industries (automotive, defense, mining).
- Design and validate system architectures that optimize reliability, maintainability, and environmental protection.
- Collaborate with mechanical, software, and autonomy teams to ensure seamless system integration and interoperability.
- Support prototype builds, troubleshooting, and commissioning through lab and field testing including dockside and at-sea trials.
- Author detailed design documentation, including specifications, trade studies, test plans, test reports, and system integration standards.
- Mentor junior engineers in power system fundamentals, general design principles, and ruggedization techniques.
