Job description

As an Electrical Engineer, Motor Controls and Power Conversion Specialist, serve as a vital member of the Oceaneering Aerospace and Defense Technologies (ADTECH) engineering team – an engineering center of excellence, and an exciting part of our dynamic, global enterprise. Within our Oceaneering Technologies (OTECH) group, your primary responsibility will be supporting development and application of high-power, high-efficiency motor controls, drives, active front end rectifiers, and other power conversion systems. Additionally, you may be responsible for performing diverse activities associated with the development and implementation of complex power and control systems for unique underwater robotic and electromechanical systems, helping solve our customers’ toughest challenges – typically for US Navy and other US Government customers.

Most of our projects are one-of-a-kind, which means you will never be stagnant and will always work on something new and compelling. And, by “work,” we don’t just mean “analyze and design” – most of our engineers do not simply sit behind a desk, but when the design is done choose to “get their hands dirty” assisting with building and testing their creations. At Oceaneering, we are committed to “making it work!”.
