About the role

  • And yet it runs on technology that hasn't meaningfully changed in fifty years.
  • We're now scaling production of our flagship model with new models and sectors on the horizon.
  • You'll thrive here if you adapt quickly, take ownership, and care about the details.

Responsibilities

  • Owning the design and integration of high and low voltage electrical systems for commercial marine vessels
  • Developing and maintaining electrical topologies, I/O maps, and wiring/harnessing definitions
  • Supporting sea trials to validate systems and ensure feature parity between bench test setups and production vessels
  • Interfacing with component suppliers, partner shipyards, and vessel operators, including occasional travel (10-15% of the time)
  • Experience developing system requirements, I/O allocation maps, interface definitions, and architectural documentation
  • What we're building
  • The marine industry supports recreation, global commerce, and national defense.
  • We're rethinking powertrains, software, and vessel designs from first principles.
  • We started with consumers to develop and harden our core technology.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Systems Engineering, or a related field
  • 5+ years of experience in electrical systems integration, hardware development, or system-level engineering
  • Strong understanding of HV/LV electrical systems, power distribution, sensors, and actuators
  • Familiarity with automotive or industrial communication protocols (CAN/J1939, Modbus, Profinet, EtherCAT)
  • Hands-on experience debugging HV/LV systems, harnesses, and hardware-to-software interfaces using tools like multimeters and oscilloscopes
  • Strong communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to translate physical hardware requirements into functional specs for software teams

Nice to have

  • Background in industrial automation, automotive EV, marine, robotics, or aerospace electrical architectures
  • Experience with Battery Management Systems, either at automotive or BESS scale
  • Understanding of ABS, USCG, IEEE, or IEC standards for commercial marine vessels
  • Familiarity with functional safety concepts (e.g., hazard analysis, DFMEA, safety goals, fault handling)
  • Experience with EMC/EMI design, shielding, and grounding practices in high-power environments
  • Proficiency with electrical schematic and drafting tools (e.g. EPLAN, Zuken, AutoCAD Electrical, or Visio)
  • You're always welcome to reach out even if you don't meet many of these qualifications.
  • Passion and aptitude make up for a lot.
