Responsibilities :

• Responsible for all electrical design and implementation of subsea equipment, including thruster motors, actuators and sensors.
• Design and development of brushless motor drivers and supporting circuitry.
• Support and implementation of subsea rated electro-mechanical devices such as rotary or linear actuators, hydraulic pumps, propulsion thrusters, and various other assemblies.
• Collaborate with other engineering disciplines to write and create specifications, analysis and testing protocols.
• Optimize existing designs to increase performance, reduce cost and improve manufacturability.
• Schematic capture, PCB layout, bill of materials, and prototype testing of new and/or updated designs.
• Supervise and support electro-mechanical technicians during circuit assembly and final installation of boards and components into products.
• Facilitate and provide direction to create detailed technical assembly and wiring guides of circuit board build and installation.
• Participate and/or lead in customer technical discussions, design reviews, and project status.
• Function as a project engineer as required to ensure custom jobs are on time, within budget and meet technical requirements.
• Facilitate and hold design review meetings with other team members to complete DFMEA and/or PFMEA documentation as required.
