Newlight
Electrical Engineer – Marine Power & Integration
Location:
On-site
Team:
Controls & Automation
Newlight’s mission is to accelerate the maritime industry’s transition to sustainable energy by making clean shipping affordable—starting with today’s fleet. We retrofit existing engines with a hydrogen‑diesel dual‑fuel “plugin” that reduces fuel consumption and emissions.
We’re seeking an Electrical Engineer (Marine Power & Integration) to own the vessel‑grade electrical architecture of our hydrogen‑injection retrofit: power distribution, instrumentation, cabinets, wiring, EMC/grounding, and ship‑side interfaces. You’ll turn lab prototypes into reliable class‑compliant systems that operate safely at sea.
What You Will Be Doing
Own the electrical architecture
for Newlight’s hydrogen retrofit unit—24/48 V DC power, protections, grounding/bonding, and segregation for safe operation in marine environments.
Design control cabinets & panels
(E-stop loop, safety relays, interlocks, fusing/breakers, terminal blocks, ferruling, labeling, IP-rated enclosures).
Develop wiring diagrams & cable schedules
for sensors (pressure/temperature/flow/lambda/knock), actuators (valves/pumps), ECUs/PLCs, HMIs, and DAQ; manage harnessing, shielding, and penetrations.
Integrate vessel interfaces:
ship power, alarms, and automation (CAN/CAN-FD, Modbus/RTU TCP, Ethernet/IP), and coordinate with engine control, MCC, and bridge systems.
Instrumentation & signal conditioning:
specify transducers, choose ranges, handle filtering, isolation, and EMI/EMC hardening.
Safety & compliance:
implement ATEX/IECEx equipment selection for hazardous zones; design purge/vent/fault-tolerant circuits; prepare evidence for class review (DNV/RINA/ABS).
Testing & validation:
develop bench/HIL fixtures; support FAT/HAT/SAT; write and execute electrical test plans; lead commissioning and troubleshooting onboard.
Documentation:
produce and maintain single-lines, multi-wires, BoMs, panel layouts, loop drawings, interface control docs, and user/commissioning manuals; manage ECR/ECN and version control.
Cross-functional coordination:
work closely with Controls, Mechanical, and Safety to align electrical design with control algorithms, piping, and hazard analyses (HAZID/HAZOP/FMEA).
Continuous improvement:
drive reliability upgrades (component derating, connector strategy, ingress/condensation mitigation, vibration & corrosion countermeasures).
Requirements We Seek
Bachelor’s degree in
Electrical / Mechatronics / Marine Engineering
(or related).
5+ years
designing industrial/marine or automotive electrical systems (panel design, wiring, commissioning).
Hands‑on experience with
24/48 V DC power , protections (fusing/breakers), contactors/relays, and emergency-stop circuits.
Proficiency with
EPLAN
/
AutoCAD Electrical
(or equivalent) for schematics, panel layouts, and cable schedules.
Strong understanding of
EMC/EMI , shielding/grounding, and signal integrity in mixed‑signal systems.
Practical integration of
CAN/CAN-FD ,
Modbus
(RTU/TCP), and industrial Ethernet; comfortable with CAN tools/diagnostics.
Field experience:
installation, commissioning, and fault-finding
on complex electro‑mechanical systems.
Familiarity with
marine standards
(e.g., IEC 60092), class rules (DNV/RINA/ABS), and
ATEX/IECEx
concepts for zone classification and equipment selection.
Clear, concise technical documentation; ability to collaborate on‑deck with shipyard crews and classification surveyors.
On‑site presence with willingness for
occasional shipboard work
and travel.
Ways To Stand Out
Electrical design for
gas/hydrogen/high-pressure
systems or other hazardous‑area process equipment.
Experience with
IP‑rated
enclosures, corrosion‑resistant hardware, and marine environmental testing.
Cabinet design for
PLC/SCADA
systems; familiarity with
safety relays , SIL concepts, and interlock design.
VFD/motor drives basics, power quality, and noise mitigation on vessels.
Prior work on
retrofitting
legacy engines or auxiliary systems aboard ships.
Tooling: EPLAN macros, AutoCAD Electrical templates, cable sizing/derating tools, CANalyzer/Peak‑CAN, basic LabVIEW/MATLAB for test rigs.
Why Join Newlight?
Own real impact:
Your electrical architecture will be the backbone that makes hydrogen‑assisted shipping work in the real world.
Build & grow:
Help define standards as we scale from lab rigs to fleet deployments.
Mission with momentum:
Join a team proving that cleaner shipping can be deployed on today’s vessels—not someday.
To Apply Please send your resume and a short note on a complex panel/wiring/commissioning project you owned (with 2–3 visuals if available) to
