Collaborate with Engineering, Configuration Management, Systems Engineering, and the Engineering Management Office to optimize workflows, integrate PDM/PLM and ERP systems, support audits, and improve governance, efficiency, and scalability.

Designs mixed-signal PCBs and embedded electrical systems for subsea robotics and sensing platforms. Responsibilities include electrical architecture, power and signal integrity, extreme-environment validation, prototype-to-production development, field deployment support, cross-functional collaboration, mentoring junior engineers, and applying relevant codes and standards. The role requires troubleshooting noise, distortion, crosstalk, grounding, and EMI/EMC issues.

Leads enterprise initiatives, transformation programs, integrations, and strategic projects from scope definition through operational transition. Manages budgets, schedules, resources, governance, risks, issues, dependencies, stakeholder communications, business readiness, adoption, and benefits realization. Coordinates cross-functional teams and supports mergers, acquisitions, and integration workstreams while improving enterprise delivery practices and ensuring projects achieve approved objectives.

Design, develop, debug, and maintain embedded firmware for marine sensor platforms, including real-time control, navigation, telemetry, data logging, power management, and communications. The role involves hardware integration, HIL testing, diagnostics, technical documentation, and occasional field deployments or sea trials. Candidates collaborate across engineering teams and support firmware from concept through deployment.

Develop and maintain reliable C++ software for real-time embedded Linux synthetic aperture sonar systems used in mine detection and hydrographic surveying. Responsibilities include implementing features, reviewing architecture, estimating tasks, supporting CI and automated testing, mentoring junior developers, and occasionally participating in sea trials. The role requires collaboration in an agile remote team and offers preferred experience with underwater robotics, Nvidia Jetson, gRPC, Docker, networking, sonar operations, or digital signal processing.

Supports integrated logistics analysis, including reliability, FMECA, maintenance, repair-level, lifecycle-cost, and sparing analyses. Develops and maintains LSAR records, provisions parts, prepares and standardizes documentation, supports configuration management, collaborates with engineering and customers, and mentors junior analysts. Requires engineering or mathematics education, ILS standards knowledge, reliability and supportability experience, strong organization, Controlled Goods eligibility, and eligibility for Canadian Reliability status and Level 2 Secret clearance.

Designs and develops PCBs, wiring harnesses, cable assemblies, and electrical system architectures. Leads projects, creates test plans, validates systems, supports manufacturing and field operations, reviews engineering deliverables, and collaborates with cross-functional teams. The role also involves applying electrical codes and standards, troubleshooting, customer support, and mentoring engineers and technologists.

Performs mechanical assembly, component rework, milling, laser etching and cutting, 3D printing, carbon fiber work, equipment maintenance, and test-jig construction. The role supports production efficiency and requires quality-control knowledge, inventory procedures, technical documentation, troubleshooting, shop safety, and collaboration across engineering disciplines. A mechanical engineering technology diploma or equivalent technical diploma with relevant experience is required.

Assists with electrical system, circuit, PCB, wiring harness, and cable assembly design. Develops test plans, conducts validation, participates in design reviews, reviews engineering deliverables, and supports manufacturing and field operations. Collaborates with mechanical, firmware, and product design teams to integrate systems, troubleshoot issues, and ensure reliability, signal integrity, thermal performance, and EMC/EMI compliance. Provides technical reporting, works independently and collaboratively, and mentors electrical engineers and technologists.

Develop and maintain backend components for Kraken’s SeaPower subsea battery ecosystem, including chargers, diagnostics, and simulation tools. Own features throughout the software development lifecycle, participate in code reviews, collaborate with product and hardware teams, improve automated testing and CI/CD pipelines, analyze requirements, and maintain technical documentation. The role also involves mentoring junior developers and contributing to reliable, high-quality software delivery in a distributed team.
