Electrical Engineer

About Surge Marine Surge Marine is a pioneering defense technology startup specializing in the development of complex, autonomous, and remotely operated maritime systems. We engineer robust, high-performance marine platforms where system safety, reliability, and cutting-edge automation are critical. We are looking for a highly capable, hands-on Electrical Engineer to join our core team and help build the electrical foundations of our next-generation marine vessels. The Role As an Electrical Engineer at Surge Marine, you will bridge the gap between design and physical implementation. Working closely with the Chief Engineer and the broader systems automation team, you will be directly responsible for the hands-on assembly, testing, and validation of our marine electrical propulsion and power distribution systems. This role requires a practical problem-solver who is just as comfortable wiring a test bench as they are reviewing system schematics. Tasks Key Responsibilities - Test Bench Operations: Design, build, and connect electrical test benches to safely and effectively run DC electrical motors for performance validation. - Hands-on Integration: Execute the physical wiring, integration, and troubleshooting of propulsion and power systems for autonomous and remotely operated marine vessels. - Schematic Management: Read, interpret, and actively refine complex electrical schematics to ensure accurate physical assembly and system safety. - High-Voltage Handling: Safely manage and configure DC systems, specifically working with 400V architectures, adhering to strict maritime and defense safety standards. - Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work alongside automation engineers to ensure seamless integration between power systems, control structures, and remote operation hardware. Requirements Minimum Requirements - Proven hands-on experience interpreting and working directly from electrical schematics. - Demonstrated ability to physically connect and c
