About Us

Amidon Heavy Industries is a venture-backed startup transforming subsea inspection and monitoring. We build autonomous surface vessels (USVs) that autonomously launch and recover remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) to perform high-frequency inspections of subsea pipelines, telecom cables, and offshore infrastructure. Our system operates at a fraction of the cost of traditional crewed vessels, unlocking scalable, real-time subsea awareness for the first time.

The Role

We are hiring an Electrical Engineer to lead the design and development of the electrical systems that power and control our next-generation autonomous surface vessel. You will take a proven prototype and evolve it into a robust, product-level platform capable of meeting the performance, safety, and regulatory standards required for real-world deployment.

This is a foundational role where you will own the vessel’s electrical design and integration, ensuring reliable operation of propulsion, power distribution, sensors, and autonomy hardware. You will work closely with naval architecture, mechanical, and software teams to deliver a system that can be manufactured, certified, and deployed at scale.

Responsibilities

• Design and implement vessel-wide electrical systems including power distribution, propulsion, and sensor integration

• Develop wiring diagrams, harnessing, and electrical layouts that meet performance and safety requirements

• Define and validate power budgets and ensure systems operate reliably in dynamic marine environments

• Select and qualify components for reliability, manufacturability, and compliance

• Work with classification societies and regulatory bodies to ensure electrical systems meet relevant standards

• Support at-sea testing and troubleshoot electrical issues under real operating conditions

• Collaborate with manufacturing partners to translate designs into production-ready systems

Qualifications

• Degree in Electrical Engineering or related field

• 5+ years of experience in electrical design for marine, aerospace, robotics, or other mission-critical systems

• Strong knowledge of power distribution, control systems, and electrical safety standards

• Proficiency with CAD tools for electrical schematics and harness design

• Experience with integration of propulsion, sensors, and embedded systems

• Familiarity with regulatory requirements and certification processes for electrical systems

Bonus Points

• Experience in marine or unmanned vessel systems

• Background in high-reliability or mission-critical electrical systems

• Hands-on experience with shipyard or production environments

• Track record of taking electrical designs from prototype to delivered product
