• Develop and maintain PCB schematics and layouts using industry-standard EDA tools (e.g. Altium or equivalent)
• Select and evaluate components for reliability availability and cost-effectiveness in marine/underwater environments
• Design and troubleshoot battery management systems (BMS) including charging protection and state-of-charge monitoring circuits

• Collaborate with software engineers to define hardware/firmware interfaces and ensure seamless system integration
• Develop and debug low-level firmware for microcontrollers and FPGAs used in ROV systems
• Implement and validate communication protocols including RS-232 RS-485 CAN bus I2C SPI and Ethernet/tether communication

• Design electronics for operation in pressure-rated waterproof enclosures rated to depths exceeding 1000 meters
• Work with acoustic systems including acoustic beacons modems and USBL positioning systems
• Ensure compliance with EMI/EMC requirements and underwater safety standards

• Develop and execute comprehensive test plans including environmental pressure and operational testing
• Investigate and resolve field failures ESC anomalies sensor faults and integration issues through systematic root cause analysis
• Create and maintain thorough engineering documentation including schematics BOMs assembly drawings and test reports
