About Us:
At Quartermaster AI, we believe the ocean should be a safe and sustainably managed resource for all. By leveraging cutting‑edge AI and robotics, we unlock capabilities that were only recently impossible. Our distributed open‑ocean systems enable every vessel to sense, compute, and communicate, enhancing maritime domain awareness for those who need it most.
Job Description:
We are seeking an Electrical Engineer who can lead design, development, and validation of the electrical subsystems that power our Smartmast platform—an edge‑deployed, Linux and GPU‑based sensor node for maritime intelligence. You will be responsible for the full lifecycle of electrical design, from schematic capture and PCB layout through to bring‑up, testing, and environmental validation. This includes core compute hardware, power delivery, peripheral interfaces, sensor integration, and EMI/resilience measures required for rugged field deployments. You’ll collaborate closely with mechanical, software, and systems engineers to evolve the Smartmast into a modular, production‑grade platform.
Key Responsibilities:
Design and document electrical system architecture for next-generation edge compute modules, including power regulation, sensor I/O, and interconnects
Create schematics and multi‑layer board layouts using industry‑standard EDA tools, optimized for thermal, EMI, and mechanical constraints
Oversee PCB fabrication and assembly partners, including BOM management, DFM checks, and prototype validation
Integrate and interface with peripherals including cameras, GPUs, SDRs, GNSS/GPS, IMUs, PoE, radar, and environmental sensors
Design power systems including battery integration, surge protection, and redundant regulation paths for safety‑critical systems
Perform electrical bring‑up, validation, and debugging across prototypes and production runs using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and lab instrumentation
Contribute to design‑for‑reliability across shock, vibration, IP rating, lightning protection, and thermal conditions
Support enclosure and harness design in collaboration with mechanical engineering to ensure robust physical and electrical integration
Maintain documentation of schematics, test procedures, manufacturing processes, and hardware change logs
Collaborate with the software and AI teams to validate hardware performance under real workloads and field conditions
Qualifications (Preferred):
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field
8+ years of experience designing and delivering production‑grade embedded hardware systems
Proficiency with schematic capture and PCB layout tools (e.g., Altium, OrCAD)
Strong understanding of high‑speed signal integrity, power electronics, and mixed‑signal design
Hands‑on experience with bring‑up, validation, and troubleshooting of embedded compute platforms
Familiarity with camera interfaces (CSI, USB3), GNSS, IMUs, and other real‑world sensor systems
Experience working with ruggedized or environmentally constrained hardware designs
Excellent debugging skills with lab tools (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, multimeters)
Bonus: experience with NVIDIA platforms, RF considerations, or marine/aerospace deployments
Work Environment:
This is a remote position with collaboration via online tools.
Flexible working hours with occasional deadlines requiring high availability.
Opportunity to work on innovative projects with a global impact.
Benefits:
Competitive salary
Flexible work hours and the option for remote work.
Opportunities for professional development and continued education.
