ENGINEERS WANTED for hazardous journey. Low wages, high voltages, long hours of difficult technical work, safe career choice doubtful. Riches and Glory in case of success.
JOB DESCRIPTION
Join Fleetzero's hardware team and contribute to R&D and production of the next generation in maritime technology. We work in a highly iterative method, testing early and often, rather than a traditional linear or waterfall development program.
In this team, you will develop PCBs and other circuitry for critical vessel propulsion applications for autonomous, electric, and hybrid vessels. You will integrate with firmware engineers and manage projects from conception through testing iterations, prototype manufacturing, and field testing. This is a hands-on role developing critical components for safety-critical applications in harsh environments. You will be expected to be comfortable taking independent initiative and working as a team with other highly motivated engineers.
Responsibilities
- Full cycle PCB design, including collecting requirements, schematic design, component selection, supervision or completion of layout, bring-up, test, debug, and integration with the system.
- Develop system interconnect diagrams and define wire harnesses that connect electronic equipment within marine propulsion hardware subsystems.
- Develop analog front-end circuits with high accuracy and noise immunity
- Conduct peer-level and cross-discipline design reviews.
- Low-level firmware development for bring-up and test.
Qualifications
- Strong physics fundamentals for a first-principles problem-solving approach
- Experience with rapid prototyping and design validation through extensive testing
- Familiarity with standard interfaces such as Ethernet, CAN, I2C, SPI, PCIe, USB, etc.
- Familiarity with common MCU, CPU, and FPGA devices and technologies.
- Knowledge of modern analog and digital electronics and electronic circuits.
- Comfortable with a variety of electronic CAD tools (Altium)
- Experience in design for signal integrity/power integrity
- Knowledge of modern analog and digital electronics and electronic circuits.
- Test experience, including data acquisition, analysis, and project coordination.
Bonus Qualifications
- Experience with high-voltage power conversion systems (inverters, DC-DC converters, motor controllers)
- Ability to build first-article physical prototypes by hand
- Shop floor fluency with circuitry (soldering, reflow, ovens, pick and place, wiring, etc.)
- Experience with relevant vendors
$117,000 - $217,000 a year
