- Generate manufacturing data packages, including BOMs, wire lists, and terminal strip diagrams.

- Get hands-on with wiring, testing, and debugging both high and low voltage systems.

- Own the development and use of bench test systems, ensuring feature parity between bench systems and production vessels.

- Support sea trials to validate and certify systems.

- Interface with component suppliers, partner shipyards, and vessel operators, with occasional travel (5-10% of the time).

## Minimum Qualifications

- 2+ years of experience as an Electrical Engineer, Automation Engineer, or similar role.

- Solid electrical fundamentals with a strong focus on control panel design and low voltage distribution.

- Familiarity with UL508A, IEC 61439, or similar industrial control panel design standards.

- Understanding of ABS, USCG, IEEE, and IEC standards for electrical systems on commercial vessels.

- Experience with functional safety (DFMEA, redundancy strategies) for mission-critical systems.

- Experience with EMI/EMC and grounding in marine or industrial environments, including shielding practices and cable segregation within and between enclosures.
