Senior Electrical Engineer: Inductive Power & DAQ Maritime

Applied Physical Sciences Corp.; Stonington (CT); On-site; USD 110,000 - 150,000; Full time

Job summary

Applied Physical Sciences Corp. is seeking a Senior Electrical Engineer to develop a robust inductive power and data acquisition system for maritime use. You will lead analog front end design, power transfer, and secure communications for a high-reliability platform intended for US Navy deployment.

The role requires expertise in mixed-signal electronics, precision data acquisition, and embedded interfaces, with collaboration across software and hardware teams. Travel up to 10% may be required.

Qualifications

• BS or MS in Electrical Engineering with emphasis on mixed-signal designs or data acquisition systems.
• Experience designing high-reliability power electronics and EMI/EMC.
• Ability to obtain a Secret security clearance and work in harsh/mission-critical environments.

Responsibilities

• Lead the architecture, design, and validation of a low-noise DAQ system via an inductive air-gap link.
• Develop analog front end circuitry with high-resolution ADC interfaces and signal integrity safeguards.
• Design inductive power transfer systems, coil/magnetics, DC/DC stages, and high-efficiency drivers.
• Implement digital communication methods over the inductive link (modulation, encoding, error correction).
• Oversee custom analog/digital PCB development with schematic ownership and layout review.
• Integrate DAQ, power, and communication subsystems into maritime/electromechanical assemblies.
• Troubleshoot system with lab instrumentation (oscilloscopes, multimeters, function generators).
• Collaborate with embedded software engineers to ensure firmware sequencing and fault reporting.
• Mentor junior engineers and participate in design reviews and prototypes evaluations.
• Prepare documentation, test plans, analyses, and briefings for stakeholders.
• Support field testing and technology demonstrations up to 10% travel.
