Marine Robotics Electrical Systems Engineer: Production-Ready

Voiceflow; Los Angeles (CA); On-site; USD 120,000 - 180,000; Full time

Job summary

Standard Subsea is seeking an Electrical Systems Engineer to own the vessel-wide electrical architecture for propulsion, energy storage, power distribution, control, and communications.

You will drive from prototype concepts toward production, defining topologies, interfaces, grounding, and protections while coordinating with software, mechanical, and operations teams to ensure safe, robust, and manufacturable designs.

Qualifications

• Proven ability to take systems from prototype concepts to production-ready designs.
• Experience with power, signal, and communications buses.
• Strong knowledge of grounding, shielding, and harnessing strategies.
• Familiarity with safety, EMC, and marine standards.
• Ability to develop block diagrams and system schematics.

Responsibilities

• Own the vessel-wide electrical architecture for propulsion, energy storage, power distribution, control, and communications.
• Define system topologies, interfaces, and grounding/shielding strategies to ensure safety, robustness, and serviceability.
• Develop block diagrams, power-tree diagrams, and system-level schematics that guide PCB, harness, and enclosure design.
• Define and track power budgets and current paths across all subsystems, including worst-case and transient conditions.
• Lead component selection (power electronics, sensors, converters, controllers, communication interfaces).
• Collaborate with software and mechanical engineers to ensure practical, manufacturable architectures.
• Support compliance efforts related to electrical safety, EMC, and marine standards.
