Opportunity
Imagine contributing to advanced sensing and communication systems that operate beneath the ocean's surface, tackling challenges few engineers ever see. This role places you at the heart of the development of underwater maritime electrical and electromechanical systems, where your work directly impacts national security and technology innovation.
You will design and test custom analog and digital printed circuit boards, integrate embedded processors, and troubleshoot complex systems from concept to production. The immediate impact of your efforts will be felt when your designs go from schematics to deployed hardware, supporting exercises and real-world missions.
This position is ideal for an engineer with a solid foundation in analog and digital circuit design, comfortable working with microcontrollers, ADCs, DC/DC converters, and communication protocols like SPI and I2C. Whether you have a bachelor's with relevant internships or a master's with a few years of experience, you'll find a collaborative team that values curiosity and a willingness to learn.
With full relocation provided to either Groton, CT, or Concord, MA, and a compensation package starting at $100,000 to $160,000 plus exceptional benefits and a generous 401K, this role is designed for those ready to make waves in their career. Apply today to join a team where technical excellence is rewarded and innovation is part of the culture.
