As a Titled Electrical Engineer (industry equivalent: Electrical Engineer 1/2) 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 Department of Defense 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!



Responsibilities
  • Electrical design and analysis of components and subsystems for underwater robotic and electromechanical systems.

  • Given requirements for a subsystem generate proper designs and work to complete tasking with latitude to make decisions under limited supervision individually and in a teamwork environment.

  • Exercise excellent technical judgement creativity and initiative with attention to detail consistently throughout your work product with awareness of 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.

  • 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.



Qualifications
  • 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).

  • Entry level knowledge and desire to gain 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 and underwater vehicle systems.
