Senior Electrical Engineer – Inductive Power & Data Systems

Applied Physical Sciences Corp.; Stonington (CT); On-site; USD 110,000 - 170,000; Full time

Job summary

Applied Physical Sciences Corp. (APS) seeks a Senior Electrical Engineer to develop a robust inductive power and data acquisition system for maritime applications.

Lead analog front end, high‑noise suppression, power electronics, and EMI/EMC considerations for harsh/environments and Navy deployment. You will collaborate with embedded software, mentor engineers, and contribute to design reviews, test plans, and field demonstrations up to 10% travel.

Qualifications

• BS in Electrical Engineering with 5+ years of relevant experience, or MS with 3+ years’ experience, or PhD with no industry experience.
• Expertise in low-noise analog circuitry, sensor interfaces, ADC-based DAQ chains, grounding, and noise floor optimization.
• Experience with high power electronics, DC/DC converters, magnetics, MOSFET/IGBT stages, and power amplifiers.

Responsibilities

• Lead the architecture, design, and validation of a low noise, high reliability data acquisition system via an inductive air-gap link.
• Develop analog front end circuitry, ADC interfaces, filtering, clocking, and signal integrity safeguards.
• Design and optimize inductive power transfer, coil/magnetics, drivers, rectification, and DC/DC conversion.
• Implement and validate digital communication methods over an inductive link (modulation, encoding, error correction).
• Oversee PCB development including schematic ownership, layout review, and quality practices.
• Integrate DAQ, power, and communication subsystems into maritime or underwater assemblies.
• Troubleshoot with lab instruments and collaborate with embedded software for firmware timing and fault reporting.
• Mentor junior engineers and contribute to design reviews and prototype evaluations.
• Prepare documentation, test plans, analyses, and briefings for internal and external stakeholders.
• Support field testing and demonstrations up to 10% travel.
