## Description (the employer's text)

Saronic Technologies is a leader in revolutionizing autonomy at sea, dedicated to developing state-of-the-art solutions that enhance maritime operations through autonomous and intelligent platforms.

### Job Overview

Saronic Technologies is seeking a Senior Electrical Engineer – Power Systems with deep experience in the design, specification, implementation, and validation of vessel/vehicle power systems.

This position will play a key role in developing and evaluating ruggedized electrical power generation and distribution architectures for autonomous maritime platforms - ensuring performance, durability, and compliance under shock, vibration, thermal, and marine conditions.

The ideal candidate has a proven track record designing or specifying electrical power systems for marine, automotive, defense, aerospace, or mining vehicles, with a focus on system integration, environmental qualification, and manufacturability. This is a design and development driven, hands-on role at the intersection of design innovation and field performance.

### Key Responsibilities

Lead the design, specification, and validation of power generation, distribution, and conversion systems for autonomous maritime platforms operating in extreme environments.

Develop and document system requirements and specifications for power subsystems and components.

Create engineering drawings such as one-line diagrams, schematics, wiring diagrams, and similar.

Create and review engineering analyses such as electric power load analyses (EPLAs), short-circuit hand calculations, power systems studies, voltage drop calculations, lighting calculations, harmonic analyses, and similar.

Evaluate and select or design components suitable for reliable operation in harsh environments.

Conduct trade studies and benchmarking of commercially available systems and technologies from adjacent industries (automotive, defense, mining).

Design and validate system architectures that optimize reliability, maintainability, and environmental protection.

Collaborate with mechanical, software, and autonomy teams to ensure seamless system integration and interoperability.

Support prototype builds, troubleshooting, and commissioning through lab and field testing including dockside and at-sea trials.

Author detailed design documentation, including specifications, trade studies, test plans, test reports, and system integration standards.

Mentor junior engineers in power system fundamentals, general design principles, and ruggedization techniques.
