Descripción de la vacante

Vessev is seeking an Embedded Hardware Engineer to own PCB and embedded hardware design, bringing concept-through-production across our electrical systems. You will work with the Electrical & Systems team to develop, test, and validate hardware, ensuring robust specifications and cross-functional alignment.

You will lead design decisions with minimal oversight, contribute to design standards, and help shape the technology package for our hydrofoiling electric vessels in Aotearoa.

Formación

• A degree in electrical, electromechanical, electronic engineering, or a related field.
• 5+ years designing PCBs or embedded hardware, ideally taking designs from concept through to production.
• Track record of working autonomously and owning design decisions.
• Strong grounding in analog and digital circuit design, embedded microcontrollers, and communication protocols (CAN, SPI, I2C, UART, Ethernet).
• Experience with signal integrity, power integrity, and EMC/EMI principles, and applying relevant compliance standards.
• Ability to weigh design decisions against cost, feasibility, and manufacturability.
• Experience setting or contributing to design standards and documentation practices.

Responsabilidades

• Design and model PCBs and embedded hardware systems from concept through to validated prototype, including bring-up, bench testing, and validation of new designs.
• Run signal integrity, power integrity, and EMC/EMI analysis, and ensure designs meet relevant electrical, marine, and safety compliance standards.
• Assess feasibility of proposed designs against technical, manufacturing, and commercial constraints, optimizing for cost without compromising performance.
• Make build vs. buy recommendations, identifying where in-house design delivers the most value over off-the-shelf solutions.
• Establish and maintain design standards and best practices for the electrical team as in-house hardware design matures.
• Manage schematics, BOMs, documentation, and revision control.
• Own the specification process for new hardware, translating system-level and product requirements into detailed design specs.
• Work cross-functionally with controls, mechanical, and software teams to ensure specs align with vessel and technology package requirements.
