Senior Electrical Engineer (Maritime)
Odin Dynamics
ABOUT ODIN DYNAMICS Founded in 2025, Odin Dynamics is a defense technology company building autonomous underwater vehicles that will define the next era of undersea warfare. We are focused on delivering capable, resilient autonomous systems that strengthen the strategic advantage of the United States and its allied navies. We move fast, build real hardware, and operate with the urgency that the mission demands. We are building a new platform from the ground up. This is not a role where you will inherit a mature product with every architectural decision already made. You will take incomplete requirements, early hardware, and difficult technical constraints and turn them into dependable, production-ready electrical systems. We value rigorous engineering without unnecessary process. Decisions should be driven by physics, test data, and product outcomes—not inherited convention or documentation volume. THE ROLE Odin Dynamics is hiring multiple Senior Electrical Engineers to serve as Responsible Engineers for critical electrical subsystems across our platform. Each engineer will take primary technical ownership of one of three areas: - High-speed digital electronics and embedded compute hardware - Motor-control and drive electronics - Battery, power electronics, and power-distribution hardware Candidates will apply to a common requisition, and Odin Dynamics will determine the best area of focus through the interview process. We are looking for engineers with deep expertise in at least one area who are also comfortable working across electrical architecture, schematic design, PCB layout, embedded systems, power electronics, manufacturing, testing, and the broader engineering domain. As the Responsible Engineer for your subsystem, you will own the hardware throughout its lifecycle: requirements, architecture, detailed design, schematic capture, PCB layout, component selection, analysis, bring-up, verification, field testing, production support, failure analysis, and continued improvement after deployment. This is a hands-on individual-contributor position. You will be expected to design real hardware, make technical decisions, mentor other engineers, and remain accountable for the performance and reliability of your subsystem. There are no organizational handoffs when a difficult problem crosses the boundary between electrical, software, mechanical, manufacturing, or test engineering. WHAT YOU’LL DO - Serve as the Responsible Engineer for a major electrical subsystem. - Develop greenfield electrical hardware from initial requirements and architecture through field-tested, production-ready implementation. - Own schematic design, PCB layout, component selection, design reviews, analysis, bring-up, validation, production support, and sustaining improvements. - Design high-reliability electronics for systems with strict size, weight, power, thermal, performance, and environmental constraints. - Create electrical architectures and hardware interfaces in close collaboration with Embedded Software, Avionics, Power Electronics, Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Supply Chain, and Test Engineering. - Design and review multilayer PCBs, high-speed digital interfaces, controlled-impedance routing, mixed-signal circuitry, high-current power paths, power sequencing, clocking, reset behavior, grounding, and board-level power distribution. - Bring up new boards in the lab and work closely with embedded software engineers to validate hardware/software integration. - Debug board-level and system-level issues involving power rails, clocks, resets, signal integrity, noise, thermal behavior, communications, intermittent faults, and hardware/software interactions. - Use oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, spectrum analyzers, network analyzers, electronic loads, power supplies, thermal cameras, and related lab equipment to identify root causes. - Develop and execute board-level validation tests, integration tests, and system-level tests. - Work
