Project Electrical Engineer

As a Project Electrical Engineer (industry equivalent: Electrical Engineer 4) serve as a vital member of the Oceaneering Aerospace and Defense Technologies (ADTECH) engineering team an engineering center of excellence and an exciting part of our dynamic global enterprise. Within our Oceaneering Technologies (OTECH) group you will be responsible for performing diverse activities associated with the development and implementation of complex power and control systems for unique underwater robotic and electromechanical systems helping solve our customers toughest challenges typically for US Navy and other US Government customers.

Most of our projects are one-of-a-kind which means you will never be stagnant and will always work on something new and compelling. And by work we dont just mean analyze and design most of our engineers do not simply sit behind a desk but when the design is done choose to get their hands dirty assisting with building and testing their creations. At Oceaneering we are committed to making it work!

• As a system or subsystem lead responsible for producing significant portions of individual project electrical and control system designs; may also be expected to lead supervise and mentor small teams of senior and junior electrical engineers in pursuit of associated project objectives.
• Given incomplete high-level requirements for a system or subsystem of moderate complexity generate proper designs and work to complete tasking with latitude to make decisions under minimal supervision individually and in a teamwork environment.
  Exercise excellent technical judgement creativity and initiative with attention to detail consistently throughout your work product with attention to the system perspective.
• Prepare and participate in regular design reviews.
• Work closely in concert with mechanical software and systems engineers as well as other cooperative disciplines to solve problems and constructively architect a working system.
• Supervise/mentor junior engineers or technicians when necessary.
• Responsible and accountable for your results working with considerable autonomy but also knowing when to ask for assistance.
• Desire to stretch and expand your talents expertise competency and responsibilities.

ESSENTIAL:

• Bachelor of Science or advanced degree from an accredited university in Electrical/Electronic Engineering (or related field/curriculum having an Electrical concentration such as Computer Engineering or Robotics Engineering). Significant commensurate experience may be considered.
• Minimum 7 years practical technical experience in the creative (Electrical) engineering process including participation in the concept analysis simulation design drawing assembly integration troubleshooting and testing of complex electrical electromechanical and automated/robotic systems.
• Ability to obtain and maintain a United States Government Security Clearance (active clearances preferred but not prerequisite).
• Must be a US citizen.

PREFERRED:

• Experience selecting and integrating varying pieces of high-tech Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) equipment to interoperate well together including designing necessary interfaces.
• Good working knowledge and experience selecting and sizing current and latest available electrical and electronic components and wiring devices such as signal conditioning power supplies control devices switching devices SSRs safety devices terminal blocks connectors DIN rail wiring cabling marshalling dressing etc.
• Experience selecting and interfacing components of industrial quality embedded microprocessor single-board computer (SBC) based control systems including defining necessary signals sensors and actuators and selecting appropriate I/O; may also require custom electrical designs where COTS components are either inadequate or unavailable.
• Experience designing interfacing translating and integrating various data communications signaling such as Ethernet USB RS-232 RS-422 RS-485 SPI I2C CAN etc. including their associated media and protocols in high-noise potential environments.
• Experience with DC power systems design.
• Calculate and estimate system power and energy requirements.
• Experience designing wiring cabling grounding for minimizing electrical noise and EMI as appropriate.
• Good electrical drawing/drafting skills accurately create and read detailed schematics wiring diagrams cable drawings system cabling and block diagrams etc.
• Proficiency in proper use and application of various standard electronic test equipment; e.g. VOM/multimeters oscilloscopes power analyzers communications analyzers hipot insulation testers spectrum analyzers CTDR OTDR optical power meters etc.
• Proficiency with advanced Computer Aided Design (CAD) Simulation and Analysis software packages such as Altium Designer SPICE AutoCAD SolidWorks SolidWorks Electrical MathCAD MATLAB etc.
• Proficiency with common office productivity software such as Microsoft Word Excel and PowerPoint etc.
• Good written and oral communications skills including ability to effectively document convey and present engineering concepts and products to team members and customers.

ADDITIONAL DESIRED: (stronger candidates may possess one or more of these)

• Experience in the marine (surface or preferably underwater) industry and associated technologies including ROVs AUVs and related robotic and electromechanical systems; also sonar systems.
• Working knowledge of applicable industry professional technical and military standards (IEEE ANSI IEC ISO NEMA NEC MIL etc.)
• Good practical technician skills (assembly wiring soldering cabling etc.)
• Experience with fiber-optics.
• Experience with Printed Circuit Board (PCB) design.
• Experience with brushless motor drives robotics and automation.
• Experience designing analyzing and tuning closed-loop feedback control systems.
• Experience with low-medium voltage single- and 3-phase power systems (120 VAC).
• Experience applying machine safety systems and standards.
• Experience with programming languages and/or script writing (software).
• Ability and flexibility to travel on occasion typically pre-planned for up to one to two weeks at a time; may be within the US outside the US or offshore onboard a boat.
