Lead Electronics and Embedded Engineer

Overview

• We are seeking a Lead Electronics and Embedded Engineer to own the electronic architecture, power systems, communications, and firmware of our hardware platforms.
• The successful candidate will design and deliver the full electronic nervous system connecting physical hardware to software, in environments that are electrically and mechanically demanding.

Key Responsibilities

• Design electronic systems including power management, sensor integration, communications hardware, and signal processing for platforms operating in maritime and rugged environments
• Produce PCB schematics and layouts to production standard, managing design-for-manufacture considerations throughout
• Own the power and energy architecture, a make-or-break constraint for platforms requiring extended autonomous operation
• Develop and maintain firmware bridging hardware and the autonomy software stack
• Own communications resilience across RF, satellite, and alternative communication modes for degraded-environment operation
• Work daily alongside the mechanical lead and autonomy engineer to ensure full subsystem integration.

Requirements

• Senior-level electronics and embedded systems engineering experience with a track record of hardware shipped to field
• PCB design proficiency from schematic capture through to layout and production sign-off
• Strong power electronics background including battery management, power conversion, and energy budgeting
• Firmware development capability in C or C++ for embedded targets
• Experience designing for maritime, subsea, or similarly demanding environments is strongly preferred
• Nigerian nationals strongly preferred.

Preferred Background:

• Experience with acoustic communication systems or underwater electronics
• Familiarity with RF systems, satellite modems, or mesh communications in degraded environments
• Background in defence or safety-critical electronics development.
