Saronic Technologies is seeking a Senior Electrical Engineer specializing in ruggedized computing and networking systems to join our Electrical Engineering – Advanced Development group.
\nThis role will focus on the research, evaluation, and development of robust onboard computing architectures, embedded systems, and high-reliability network solutions that power Saronic’s autonomous vessel platforms.
\nThe ideal candidate will have deep experience designing and validating ruggedized electronic systems for mission-critical applications, including embedded computing, network topologies, data management, and environmental hardening for commercial maritime and defense use cases.
\nKey Responsibilities:
\nLead R&D initiatives in ruggedized computing and networking architectures for autonomous surface vessels.
\nDesign, evaluate, and integrate embedded computing systems, data acquisition units, and network infrastructures optimized for high performance in harsh marine environments.
\nConduct benchmarking and trade studies on ruggedized COTS and custom computing solutions (edge computers, network switches, routers, storage units, etc.).
\nDevelop and validate system architectures for high-availability networks supporting autonomy, sensing, and control subsystems.
\nCollaborate with software, autonomy, and mechanical engineering teams to ensure reliable data throughput and system resilience across vessel networks.
\nSpecify and validate environmental and EMC/EMI compliance for computing and networking hardware.
\nPrototype and test system configurations in laboratory and field conditions, including shock, vibration, temperature, and humidity testing.
\nAuthor technical documentation, including R&D reports, trade studies, wiring diagrams, and integration standards.
\nMentor junior engineers and contribute to internal design guidelines for next-generation computing and network systems.
\nSupport system integration and troubleshooting during prototype builds, dockside commissioning, and sea trials.
\nRequired Qualifications:
\nB.S. or M.S. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related discipline.
\n7+ years of experience in electrical or systems engineering focused on computing and networking technologies in ruggedized or mission-critical environments.
\nExpertise in embedded computing platforms, network design, and hardware integration.
\nExperience with Ethernet, CAN, serial, and fiber-optic communication protocols and their implementation in distributed systems.
\nProven track record of benchmarking and trade study development for hardware performance and reliability.
\nFamiliarity with marine, aerospace, automotive or defense environmental standards (MIL-STD-810, MIL-STD-461, IEC 60945, etc.).
\nStrong understanding of power distribution, grounding, and thermal management in dense electronics enclosures.
\nExcellent communication skills and experience producing clear technical documentation and reports.
\nHands-on experience with system integration and environmental testing.
\nPreferred Qualifications:
\nExperience developing or integrating ruggedized computing solutions for maritime or defense systems.
\nFamiliarity with network security, IEEE 1588/PTP Protocol, VLAN management, and deterministic networking for real-time systems.
\nKnowledge of data logging, storage, and redundancy architectures in distributed sensor networks.
\nExperience with hardware-in-the-loop (HITL) and hardware-software co-simulation environments.
\nBackground in autonomous or remote vehicle platforms.
\nUnderstanding of cybersecurity standards and secure network design principles.
\nExperience using 3D CAD tools to communicate with other engineering groups (e.g. Siemens NX, Creo, SolidWorks)
\nExperience utilizing ECAD tools to define/draw single line diagrams and schematics (e.g. Altium, Zuken, AutoCAD, Siemens Capital)
