Position Overview

Prescient Edge is seeking an Electrical Engineer to support U.S. Navy Medium Unmanned Surface Vehicle (MUSV) acceptance integration test modernization and lifecycle engineering activities. This is the component-level micro engineering role within the MUSV acceptance team focused on the electrical and electronic details that make individual vessel subsystems function correctly. The engineer will work hands-on with cabling connectors power distribution sensors controls electrical interfaces and installed equipment to verify configuration troubleshoot faults support alterations and repairs and ensure subsystem-level issues are resolved before they affect overall vessel readiness.

Key Responsibilities

Electrical Installation Cabling & Component Integration

• Support installation inspection modification and verification of vessel electrical and electronic components including cabling connectors junctions panels sensors controllers power supplies and related hardware.
• Review and validate cable routing terminations pinouts connector configurations wiring diagrams schematics panel layouts and equipment installation details against approved technical documentation.
• Support integration of electrical/electronic equipment with vessel mechanical control communications payload navigation and autonomy-related subsystems while verifying required power signal grounding and interface connections.
• Identify installation deficiencies workmanship issues configuration mismatches damaged components or interface problems and coordinate corrective actions with the appropriate engineering or maintenance personnel.

Electrical Power Troubleshooting & Technical Support

• Troubleshoot component- and subsystem-level electrical faults using multimeters oscilloscopes insulation testers network analyzers manufacturer diagnostic tools and other appropriate test equipment.
• Evaluate alternating current/direct current (AC/DC) power generation conversion distribution storage circuit protection grounding bonding shielding and electrical-safety issues affecting installed vessel equipment.
• Perform technical analysis and fault isolation for sensors actuators motors control circuits communications interfaces instrumentation and other electrical/electronic equipment supporting MUSV operations.
• Coordinate with Marine Systems Engineers Mechanical Engineers Government engineers operators vendors original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and maintenance personnel to resolve subsystem-level electrical deficiencies.

Test Acceptance & Verification

• Support electrical inspections system checkout integration operational test acceptance and readiness events in laboratory waterfront shipboard and field environments.
• Execute or support test procedures; capture objective evidence; document discrepancies; verify continuity power signal integrity equipment operation and corrective actions; and support retest of affected components or subsystems.
• Assess test results and technical data to determine whether electrical installations interfaces and equipment meet applicable requirements drawings standards and acceptance criteria.
• Provide clear technical findings deficiency descriptions recommended corrective actions and status updates to engineering program and operational stakeholders.

Documentation & Team Integration

• Develop and maintain electrical engineering documentation redlines schematics wiring information configuration records discrepancy reports test results technical reports and recommendations for decision support.
• Support watercraft lifecycle engineering engineering change implementation craft alteration and repair activities material/component identification and configuration verification for affected electrical and electronic systems.
• Communicate electrical issues early work effectively within an integrated Government-contractor team and help drive component- and subsystem-level technical actions through resolution.

Required Qualifications

• Education: Bachelors-level degree in Electrical/Electronics Engineering.
• Experience: Minimum three (3) years of professional electrical/electronics engineering experience.
• Demonstrated experience with electrical/electronic systems cabling connectors wiring power distribution sensors controls instrumentation or comparable component-level engineering work.
• Working knowledge of AC/DC electrical theory grounding bonding circuit protection power conversion batteries or energy-storage systems and electrical safety.
• Ability to read develop review or modify electrical schematics wiring diagrams cable-routing drawings pinouts panel layouts and related engineering documentation using AutoCAD or similar CAD tools.
• Experience performing electrical troubleshooting fault isolation inspection integration test and evaluation or acceptance activities using standard electrical test equipment and diagnostic tools.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills and the ability to work hands-on with engineers technicians operators vendors and Government stakeholders in dynamic test environments.
• Ability to meet applicable SECRET clearance safety security site-access and physical requirements.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience supporting unmanned surface vehicles autonomous systems military boats/craft maritime electronics or comparable complex mobile platforms.
• Experience with marine electrical systems shipboard or small-craft power distribution navigation equipment communications radar sensors remote command-and-control or data-acquisition systems.
• Experience with electrical installation craft alteration repair cable fabrication or routing connector termination component replacement and waterfront troubleshooting.
• Familiarity with Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) embedded controllers motor controllers vessel-monitoring systems serial/Ethernet communications or control-system interfaces.
• Knowledge of marine electrical standards American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC) requirements C4ISR interface considerations cybersecurity constraints affecting installed systems electromagnetic compatibility/interference (EMC/EMI) shielding or electrical-noise mitigation.
• Masters degree in Electrical/Electronics Engineering or a closely related engineering discipline.

Travel / Work Environment

• Approximately 2550% travel is expected depending on test schedules operational requirements and mission needs. Travel may include multi-day or extended support at customer waterfront shipboard remote and operational test locations. The position primarily supports hands-on electrical engineering installation verification troubleshooting inspection integration and test activities in laboratory pier-side shipboard industrial field and outdoor maritime environments. Candidates must be comfortable with periodic travel changing schedules adverse weather and supporting vessel operations and test events as required.
